PMBOK. Also felt like the Crosswind Learning product (www.crosswindpm.com) that our local chapter used as a basis for their 36 hour PMP Exam Prep Course was very valuable. Finally, gained quite a bit of value from an app called "PMP Practice Test 2017 Edition" published by CoCo E-learning for Android phones. Enabled me to practice while waiting in lines and other delays during the day.

I relied on PMBOK, Rita Mulcahy, my local PMI chapter, and brainbok.com when I was studying for my PMP.

I found Edwards website to be great. http://edward-designer.com/web/pmp/
I am not sure if we can list commercial websites but I did the practice exams from here and would recommend. http://www.pm-exam-simulator.com/

Thanks a lot Sean.

I find Rita's book really useful, for the exam you need to have a grip on the concept rather than memorizing it. Also the android app PMPprep helped me too. The questions are mostly situational so deep understanding of each process group and knowledge area are going to get you there.

Sujata I agree and disagree. Certainly memorizing the 47 (now 49) processes is not the way to go. But memorizing the formulas is necessary as I recall up to 10 questions on formulas alone on the PMP exam, and now the test taker can't write these down on a piece of paper.

Memorizing handful formulas are good and a low hanging fruit but from personal experience one should not bank on it solely as I did not have a single formula based question.

Last week I saw a blog with full of resources and tips. Main PMP terms, stakeholder management, communication management articles are included there. Besides these there are lots of project management resources exist there.
