Abdulrahman Abuhayah P.M.O Director| Adaptive TechSoft Riyadh, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Hellow everyone...
I have a very close project management exam coming...
I adopted Rita 8th edition as a reference, but one time studying is not enough, I have to go through the book again, but I don't have time.
Can anyone please help me find a summary of the book. It's really hard to do all the book again, It's almost 650 pages.
This is really urgent to me as I will be doing the PMP exam based on the fifth edition after five days. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks in advance

...

Thank you guys...
I did study Rita's book and I did the exams at the end of each chapter and I'm doing available questions as well. The thing is that there are many terms and definitions and tools and techniques and things to remember. I wanted to have a summary of the book which highlights the important things..

You do not need to remember, only understand. The only thing I can think of that will help you is buying the Rita Simulation Exam Software (If it is still available) and solve all the questions in there, this will help you big time and they are close to the real exam questions.

Many PDF's available online but would be a waste of time if the exam is too close, Ttake a day to scan through the PMBOK and from your mind map concentrate on the process which you find you are not able to map, Two days before the exam You might want to try one of the many PMP exam trials available on android apps, Practice on it when ever you have the phone with you. All the best.

Hi Abdulrahman
I'm in the same way, preparing my exam, reading and reading and reading again, pretty much exausted
There's a book of Rita, Rita Mulcahy's Hot Topics, it is all about flashcards whit a summary of the Rita's book, it's being pretty helpful to me

Good luck!

Forget about to study and make tons of exam like questions (4 times the amount of questions of the exam). Those must be situational questions. When you get 75%-85% of accuracy systematically then you are ready.Use he books to review why you fail into a question.

What you need is understand, there is a few formula that require to be known.

Make practice exam, I would recommend a score of over 80% in the simulation.

Have a nice exam

I agree with Dinah and Ezara. There are no shortcuts. I would start taking the practice exams to get a gauge of where you are and determine your gaps, if any. Focus on those areas for improvement.
