Dear Friends.
How its difficult to pass the exam by self study?
how much self study needs?
PMbok5th edition and Rita 8th edition are enough?
thanks Saving Changes...
Excellent @Marcus, I did all that and also zero study the day before the exam. I jooged a little the afternoon before, and had a good sleep the night before.
I also read about eating bananas and avocates.. weird but I tried it, and I think it worked!

I have used self-study for all my credentials. In fact, no study materials (like Rita?s book) exist at this time. What works for me, trying to add something to valuable comments above, is to answer lot of questions. When I get 80%-9% o right answers then I was ready to take the exam. And no matter I answered the same questions more than one time. Saving Changes...

I did self study and used the PM PrepCast, the PMP Exam Simulator, and the PMBOK Guide. I passed on my first try. Here''s the link to the PM PrepCast and the PMP Exam Simulator. https://www.project-management-prepcast.com/ I also used other random, free test questions I found on the Internet but you MUST double-check their answers for accuracy.

I agree with this, I used the PMBOK and a lot of youtube videos and passed the first time. My best advice is to layout the knowledge areas and processes and then go through a virtual project from start to finish many times using the proper terms. That really help me to understand all the inputs and outputs as well as project document updates and project plan updates. Saving Changes...
When I studied for my PMP in 2003, I only used the PMBOK and company-provided study groups. I read the PMBOK three times. I passed with 85%. Back then you were graded.)
When I decided to go for my PMI-SP, I did it differently. While I read the time management portion of the PMBOK, I opted to purchase a $100 USD online set of sample PMI-SP exams, which included flash cards. (Thankfully, my new employer refunded the purchase.) I passed the examination with proficient level in all sections.
I plan on using the same strategy for my PMI-RMP.
All the best in your study and exam, Darush. Saving Changes...

I thought it was critical to take practice exam questions. And I further suggest finding more than one source for them. You need to get used to how questions are asked on this test, making sure you understand the real question being asked, and finding the best answer to that question. Saving Changes...

You can receive guidance through books or trainers.There is no harm in this. But ultimately you are the one who has to learn. So its your way and depends upon you.
Please study the material, do a lot of sample questions to make yourself thorough with the subject. Saving Changes...
