I am getting conflicted advice on what I need to study for my PMP exam. I have heard the PMBOX 7 and Agile practice guide are not enough. Can you recommend what should be studied? Saving Changes...

Maria, 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 (it is a small book).I believe both editions are still relevant or study the PMBOk 7th edition and the Processes Guide.
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! Saving Changes...
