I am currently studying to take the PMP exam. My goal is to take the exam in January. I have learned that every three years the exam content changes. Can anyone advise if the exam will change in 2024? Saving Changes...

If changes are coming to the PMP exam content outline, PMI normally announces those in advance and gives candidates enough time to prepare. However, PMI continuously injects new fresh questions into the exam.
For a study plan, I personally recommend you do the following:
1) Read through the Exam Content Outline (ECO), PMBOK 6th Edition (Including the Agile Extension as lots of questions are Agile / Hybrid based) and then read the PMBOK 7th edition (it is a small book).
2) Go through Rita Mulchay’s Exam Prep book, I think its 11th edition now, but double check. This is one of the best resources for exam preparation.
3) After you are done, purchase the Simulator Package through PM Prep Cast and practice as much as you can. This is a great simulator and resource for questions that mimic the real exam.
4) If you want a course to fulfill your 35 Hours then check Joseph Phillips on Udemy. He is a PMI ATP and great instructor or check out PMI's self-paced course in the PMI Store.
Major changes to the exam are driven by a Role Delineation Study being conducted followed by a new Exam Content Outline being published. Since neither have been announced, I'd expect it won't be happening in the next twelve months.
