Hello,

I'm preparing for the PMP exam.  I would like to get any positive feedback on education programs or resources used for preparing for the exam.  Any recommendations appreciated.   Thanks Rob

Rob, in general, for the PMP, here is what I suggest candidates 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. Alternatively, you can read through the ECO, PMBOK 7th edition and then go through the new Process Groups Practice 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 and will boost your confidence the more you practice.

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 - Good Luck!
