Have you taken the PMP Exam? Post your tip!

Yes it will be valid until the PMBoK next edition by 2017.

All I can advise you to study for the PMP is:

1. Read Rita's book
2. Read PMBoK 5th edition chapter by chapter and solve the practice questions you have from the access I gave you.
3. Practice on the exam simulators you have from the access I gave you.

That is all what you need, depending on the average scoring you have, if more than 70% then you are ready to go for the PMP exam.

Let me know if you have any questions.

===============================

I would have added valuable links to every of this points; but unfortenatly it is not allowed anymore ... :(

and what i want to add:

DO NOT use TO MANY prep materials. Like every time quality is more important than quantity. Find the right materials which are fitting best to your indiviual learning preferences and than stick to them ...

Otherwise you may gonna be lost ...

I passed my PMP exam on 30 Dec 2015 and I read Rita's PMP Preparation Guide cover to cover. Rita is a good book in my opinion for one to prepare for PMP. My advice would be to do all the exercises from this book and not look at answers directly no matter how silly you feel about the exercise. I liked the "arranging processes chart" game. the exercise questions in this book are good and prepares you for the actual exam questions.

When I was studying, I started answering questions from ProjectManagement.com's PM challenge, this helped me to get into exam mode I felt. I did this whenever I got little tired of studying Rita book and wanted a distraction. Also, I started taking "PM War" and this helped me improve my reading of the questions quickly as we get only 90 seconds.

I answered Olivier's free PMP questions (75 and 175) - http://www.oliverlehmann.com/pmp-self-test/75-free-questions.htm.
Also, I installed the free simulator that comes with Rita and answered questions from this.

I did not get a chance to read PMBOK guide fully. Initially I was reading one chapter from Rita and corresponding chapter from PMBOK. Later I found I was running out of time and concentrated only on Rita's book.

When I was reading the book, I made flashcards divided into topics like "revision", "formulas", "exam tips", etc.
I went through revision ones (these were ones where I found I had little difficulty understanding topic, did not answer the question correctly, etc) everyday before I started studying for like 30 minutes.
I went though formulas everyday before starting studying as well. I used to write down each formula without seeing them and was trying to remember the concept. This helped me a lot. I wrote down all the formulas during the exam in the first 15 minutes we get to go through the system to familiarize ourselves (this is one of the tip from Rita's book as well).

I went through the glossary from Rita and PMBOK and I feel this helps as well.

All the best. Hope this helps.

@Adil: Great input Adil thanks. I bought Rita's book through amazon and I am half way through it now. I did not notice it has free access to simulator with it. Is it a CD or what ?

Rami, yes, its a CD on the back cover of the book and this includes a trial version of the simulator and you get 200 questions from this.

All the best for your preparation Rami :)
