Mrunmayee -

Use the current (Seventh) edition and also use the Process Groups Practice Guide (https://www.pmi.org/pmbok-guide-standards/...ractice-guide). Please note that these shouldn't be the only references you use - PMI provides a list of additional references at the bottom of this web page: https://www.pmi.org/certifications/project...xam-preparation

Given the volume of content, this is why many folks prefer to attend a prep course or use a self-study guide.

Murunmayee, I do agree with Kiron’s suggestion. From my end, 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).

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!
