Above everything , most important factor for the exam is to indulge yourself into the situation you are presented with, most of the time text book choice is not the right answer, it maybe right but not according to the situation.
First step is PMBOK
second is to get some other reference book, and there are plenty of them available online from many stores
3rd suggestion is to read the presented question thoroughly , at least twice before looking at the choices , if anything comes into your mind before looking at A-D and when you look at the choices and it is there , most probably that one is the best or worst choice depending on the situation,
do not ignore ITTOs at all, there may not be any direct questions from them but situational need will need you to be well aware of ITTOs....more to follow later

I would recommend reading PMBOK over and over. I also bought a membership from Career Academy (http://bit.ly/2fnjzjJ) and took their online PMP training, it helped me prepare for the certification exam and it gave me the 35 contact hours that I needed. Lastly, you should take some simulator exams to gauge if you are ready or not. All the best to you!!! :)

If you are actually preparing for the PMP exam the following information might be useful for you.

I have written a blog about the timeline to become a PMP this year, before the exam will change based on the upcoming new PMBoK Guide.

This blog shows a sample timeline when you should have started if you want to assure to have the option to go for all three attempts if necessary.

Please find the article here:

or alternative on LinkedIn:

The graphic is better there ... ;)

In fact, you should start right away ...

If you are searching for a proper online course (which provides also the needed 35 contact hours for the PMP exam application) then please have a look at another blog from me:

I have used this one by my own and from my perspective it is probably the best prep course available out there.

They do offer a great bundle package this month where the course is bundled with their also great simulator for a really nice discount.
You can't get more value actual!

If you are in the final zone of your preparation you might just need a good simulator to validate your knowledge and to assess your exam readiness?!

Well besides the great simulator by the PrepCast team there is another good option to go for, the simulator by PMAspire.
And they do also offer a nice discount this month; please have a look here:
