Passed PMP in 1st Attempt on 19-December-2013

Before I Start, I want to thank all of you for providing your experience and views. It helped me a lot in preparing for this Exam and Passing.
Below is a quick overview of what I did
- Books I used PMBOK 5 and Rita’s 8th Ed for my preparation
- Started my preparation 2 & 1/2 months back
- Set a deadline as 4 days/chapter (2 day for PMBOK + 2 Day for Rita) and 2 weeks for mock exams
- Booked my exam date (this is MUST, to keep you focused and to meet your deadline)
- Most important thing I did, I prepared a word document which had all the 47 processes with ITTO. I took a printout and cut them like flash cards. (you will see how this was helpful in the points below)
- Whenever I finish a chapter in PMBOK I studied corresponding chapter in Rita’s (Under line key words/sentences in both books) (this helped when I did revisions)
- Also when I ever finished a chapter, I went back to the earlier chapters and just glanced through the points I underlined
- When I was reading, I made note of important Terms/descriptions (which are new to me) in the back of the flash card. Also noted the formulas in a another sheet of paper
- I carried these flash cards with me and Whenever I get a chance I will quickly browse through the flash cards and Formula sheet
- When I finished all the chapters, I started taking the Mock Exams (skillport from my company, Headfirst Mock Test, Oliver Mock Test, PMP for sure, Christopher Scordo, 101 sample Qs for PMP, I looked at other sample Qs as well)
- Keep 2 weeks for your mock exams. After you finish each exam understand where the gaps are. Go read that chapter again in PMBOK
- IMPORTANT while you are doing your mock exams
o At the beginning of each mock exam Write the formulas in a piece of paper (without seeing the formula sheet. This will help you memorize and do the same in exam)
o Take up 200 Qs in one sitting within 4 hrs. This will set your mind for doing the same in exam
- IMPORTANT things to do Before the main exam
o Spend the entire day-before evening with fmly (Relax the full evening before the exam)
o Sleep well (9 hrs min)
o On the exam day morning Go through ur flash cards once (don’t spend more than an hour)
o Don’t do any last minute reading

Please let me know in case you need the copy of the word document I used to prepare the flash card.

Congratulations on your success. Can you please email me the word document to prasadbvm@gmail.com

Great suggestions above, I am also using the Rita's PMP Exam Prep. Some of the exams that you mention above,are they based on 4th edition of PMBOK, if so, do you still suggest using them in preparing for the exam? I am planning to pay for the PM Fast Track (rita), what do you think of her questions?
Appreciated!
