During my second read through, I took notes, then used that as my primary source of PMBOK material. I typed them out, printed, and stapled as a booklet. This provided a simpler format to travel with, then further fine-tune with notes and comments. Saving Changes...

I was able to take a "Boot Camp" preparation course, and then used sample exams to help show me where I had weaknesses. I reviewed the PMBOK chapters where I was weakest, and worked to memorize content and formulas.
By the way, the PMChallenge questions here are fairly useful for helping to identify knowledge area weaknesses. Saving Changes...
