In my experience PMBOK, Rita, Fast Track App are good enough to just study. but practice more questions is more important.
I spent around 40% of my time on questions and answers.

I suggest try the questions in PMChallenge as well.

In my opinion, I think RITA, PMBOK supported with a couple of mobile apps for test.
Opeyemi thanks...

Can you indicate what mobile apps you consider worth sharing with other fellows?

George,

Literature wise:
PMBOK
Materials from an attended boot camp

From there:
Condensed notes from PMBOK used as my study guide
Flash Cards

I had dl'd a couple of apps on my iPhone for prep, but they were not that helpful. I used my flash cards and study guide while on my commute to/from work.
