Preparations:

2,5 months study. Few hours (4) per week for 1,5 month 4 hours a week for 3 weeks and 3 full days on the wekk prior to the test.

Study matterial:

PMP exam prep (Rita): thank you RMC

sts.ch (online test): thank you guys

PMP Comprehensive notes: thank you Chowdary

PMBOK e-book: not read it in its completeness, thourough matterial though not a study book.

Conclusion:

This is a challenging exam. I have given myself only a slight chance to pass on the day of the exam. I consider myself an established student (university degree, MBA, bla-bla-bla) though this is a though one. A study group would have made it easier to evaluate my prepardness and discover my weaknesses. Good luck for everyone ahead of it. 

Cheers,
