my strategy for PMP Prep goes like that (overview):
Step 1: Just read the chapter in PMBoK Guide
Step 2: Now STUDY the corresponding chapter in your prep book(s)
Step 3: NOW STUDY the same chapter in PMBoK Guide AND try to understand the content and how the processes work for instance.
Step 4: After all of that just do the provided sample questions in your prep book(s) to see if you have understood the stuff. If you have less than 70% right, do the steps 2 - 4 again or try to figure out where your weak areas are and do those chapters again.
This is how my strategy works in a rough and it is good for me. Another people here rude for the strategy to read the PMBoK Guide at least 3 times straight through.
From my point of view, this doesn't work really well.
But everyone have to find his own strategy i guess ...
