Cleared my PMP Exam today with 4P (Initiation to M&C) + 1MP (Closing). Below is my lessons learnt hope it will be helpful for fellow PMP aspirants,

I prepared for my PMP based on PMBOK last year during April & May 2013 in full swing and had to stop my preparation due to personal reasons. During December'2013 i realized that my PMP membership is going to expire in May 2014 and decided to restart the whole process. With 3 other fellow PMP aspirants we started a group study of going to Rita Chapter End questions (2days : 1 Chapter), while this was going parallely attended my company offerred PMP training (everday mrng 5 - 7.30) for 4 weeks. Finally I had to clear internal mock exam to get 35 PDU's and that wasn't ready till February. In the mean time i decided to full use of local libraries and took Kim's PMP book, went through the same high level, did the same with Andy Crowe's book and went through the same high level. In February end cleared my internal exam with 76% (my first 200Q exam) and received my PDU. From then roller coaster started, below are my mock exam scores (all in last 4 weeks)

PM Study 1 - 77% (1st time) & 83% (Day before exam) - Very Good

PMStudy 2 - 84% - Very Good

PMStudy 3 - 81% - Very Good

PMStudy 4 - 80% - Very Good

Christopher Scordo (13 - 19) - 79% - 85% - Good for practice

Andy Crowe 200 Qns - 89% - Good

Head First 200 Qns - 86% - Good

Kim 60 odd questions - 75% - Very Tough

PMP4Sure100 Questions - 68% & 78% (2nd time) - Tough

Oliver Lehman - 75% out of first 100 Qns. - Very Tough

Rita Fastrack - 75% - Tough

Edwel Exam - 75% - Fair

One thing, i suggest to PMP aspriants is that there are lot of materials available which are not upto standard, please use only standard materials like PMStudy, Rita Fastrack, Andy Crowe & Head First exams. I bought one called Cert Champ, it was just the ITTO no scenario based question, i used it for hardly 3 days and did not even touch it. Please use local libraries if you are in US, they have most of the books and you can use for 3 weeks. I took all my PMStudy exams in Library to simulate Prometric environment.

I would like thank my famly for letting me prepare for this exam. Please reach out to me if you have questions regarding PMP exam preparation.
