Exam was difficult but I think my strategy of focussing hard for 6 weeks worked great....

traget 6 weeks of pre - flat

First 3 weeks, PMBOK and rita (read first 4 chapters of PMBOK and then same chapeters from RITA)

then go knowledge area wise. read a KA from PMBOK then rita and them attempt practice questions from rita.

Keep making your own cheat notes for revision and also mark imp areas in both books.

Next 2.5 weeks again same flow with mock tests.(Mock test will tell about your week areas) Check which question went wrong and analyse your mistake.

 

I did Oliver Lehman(75 question free) and SkillSign practice sample (Free 50Q), SkillSign Paid mock (full 200 question), then skillSIgn test plan(KA wise). 

Last 2 days just revise what you marked and your cheat notes.

On exam day during tutorial time itself, i brain dumped all the formulas and my cheat notes on scratch paper. Then started exam. This way during exam i never had to think about formulas. I just referred my scratch paper. Finish exam in less than 3 hours.

Cheers

 Hi how many weeks in total did you study for the exam and did you practical experience with formal PM knowledge.

 6 weeks flat. I feel if you want to clear PMP, keep the practical knowledge at one side :-)
