PMBOK is first reference, you need to ready thoroughly and understand well. In addition to this you needs to read motivation theories, quality tools & techniques, financial analysis of projects, scheduling techniques from outside PMBOK.

Hello Daryn,
I would like to provide you some helpful links to kick start your PMP Preparation;
here is our so called “PMP Prep starting tool kit”:
----------------------------
Kick off your PMP Preparation with
One of the eligibility criteria is, to obtain 35 contact hours in project management education by a so called “Registered Education Provider” (R.E.P.).
Therefore you can choose between a lot of offers out there, starting by live classes/bootcamps (mostly 3 to 5 days long and relatively expensive) ending with self-paced online training courses.
You have to find out and decide which of those fits you and you’re learning approaches best.
Here is a link to
The Complete Guide to PMP 35 Contact Hours of Project Management Education

I would recommend an online training course:” The PMP PrepCast” by Cornelius Fichtner which i have used by myself for preparation (passed the exam on 24th of August 2015!); you may have a look here: Prep Cast:
? http://goo.gl/KUPFBG There is also some free stuff available: ? http://goo.gl/hiroMD
Please don't hesitate to contact me if there are any further questions.
Btw: One of my favorite tools they offer is the "PMP study coach" which works like your own, personal, ready-to-start PMP study plan/navigator.
