Study Plan
1.Mock Exam of Rita book (after each chapter)
2.Mock Exam of PMP PrepCast – purchased an online mock simulator – 1800 questions
3.Study – Glossary, Integration Management & Risk Management of PMBOK – 5th edition – weak area
4.Study ITTO’s – weak area
Kindly suggest a way forward, Am I on a right track or something need to be improved. Saving Changes...
I agree with my colleagues. Analyze and reinforce your weak areas. Other than that, you're plan seems good. As Ramachadran stated, do not put too much emphasis on mock exams (seems like you have considered this)
I found that I could only truly focus for so long when studying. To get the most out of it, I studied in many shorter sessions, with longer sessions on the weekends, but with many breaks. I used flash cards and diagrams to help formalize pictures for organizing and remembering information.
There are two elements to consider; learning the information that you will be tested on, and being a good test taker. You will need both.
Good Luck!
Thanks Andrew.
My plan is to devote 2 hrs on weekdays and 4-5 hrs each on weekends or any holiday.
Besides that 10-15 mins daily for braindump / quick revision. Saving Changes...
To be confident on the real exam, you should be getting at least 80% on the mick exams, as these are around 10% easier to answer. Focus on your wrongs answers, by referencing the PMBOK. All the best.
Thanks Sante, Aiming the same to score 80-85% in mock up exams. Saving Changes...

Congratulations and welcome to the club!
PS: We have conducted a little guide with lot of tips and tricks on how to maintain your credentials proper and in an easy and effective way. This guide is part of our “PMP Exam prep guidance” program and registration is for FREE! (so you can benefit from the PDU part even if you already earned your PMP!):
I honestly would recommend to focus on the study guide (Rita or Heldman) and have the PMBOK ready by your side as a reference only. PMBOK contains the guidelines of Project Management it helps providing knowledge more than passing the exam, so you can utilize the time planned for the PMBOK in practice exams.
I would also recommend reading the Kim Heldman book, I found it much easier than Rita, but it depends on you.
Hope that was helpful and you pass.
regards,

You have picked the right resources to study. I would recommend reading the Pmbok the second times, as the PMP exam has few questions that are just one sentence in the PMbok. Saving Changes...
