I think one good way is to read PMBOK at least once, and use any available exam simulator, that help you to be familiar with exam questions and test yourself to know if you are ready to the exam. Resolve as many test as you need to be ready Saving Changes...

Well, since this was mentioned more than once now, i would like to disagree here a bit.
Reading the PMBoK Guide is just wasting time.
The PMBoK Guide isn't a book which could be read from cover to cover. (of course you can, but you won't gain any benefit by doing so).
Furthermore the PMBoK Guide need to be studied! In depth!
For doing that, take e prep book, read chapter by chapter. After reading one chapter go to the PMBoK Guide and work through the corresponding process/KA in the PMBoK Guide, study it and try to UNDERSTAND the content, the processes and how they are interrelated and so on.
After doing so, you can validate your knowledge by doing some corresponding sample question/mock exam and if you do recognize still gaps, go back to the material and repeat.
What i want to say is, reading the PMBoK Guide (like suggested here several times) will not do the job (even if you do read it more than once!).

The PMP exam recommendation tips are:
1. You should have university or college certificate, work experience not least than 5 years and 35 hours for PMP course;
2. Read PMP handbook and PMP exam outline very very well , because, the PMP exam will depend on the tasks as mentioned in PMP exam outline;
3. Read PMBOK last version from cover to cover at least two or three times to understand the PMI definitions and ITTO's as well, because, PMP exam ref. is absolutely from PMBOK;
4. Read Rita book, understand and practice the questions in each chapter. Rita book is for understanding the some topics like change request procedures, time network analysis, EVM, conflict resolutions, plan risk management response...etc;
5. Concern the topics, which are scope management, change management, communication management, stakeholder management & Risk management. The exam will ask you many questions related to these topics, and
6. You must practice a lot of questions to understand these topics and to understand how the PMP exam frame what does he ask. The best websites for PMP practicing are : PMSTUDY, PM PRECAT and some applications in Udemy; Good luck to every body!! Saving Changes...

Hi Jance,
You already got lots of information from these colleagues.
Personally I found PMBOK and Rita's book as the best resource for the exam preparation.
I also recommend the mock exam on this website http://www.pmtraining.com/ Saving Changes...
