I am study for the test and I want to know where I should be directing my attention.  I have both the 6th and 7th editions.

Jesse, I personally believe that both editions are applicable for the purposes of the exam. Here is what I suggest you do:

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. I believe both editions are relevant to the exam.

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.

Hope this helps - Let me know if you have further questions - Good Luck!

Jesse -

As Rami has indicated, there could be exam questions with references to content from both the Sixth and Seventh editions of the PMBOK Guide.

The full list of references used to support the exam questions is at the bottom of this web page: https://www.pmi.org/certifications/project...xam-preparation
