You have taken a wrong direction
Welcome to PMP aspirant club. But unfortunately I see you have taken a wrong direction and a very short deadline. In real life, PMP aspirants might not have a good background of project management and hence it’s suggested to start PMP preparations with good PMP reference books like Andy, Headfirst or Rita and get some example of real life project management.
PMBOK is a research book and it’s like an ocean with many hidden treasures. Once you are comfortable with PMP reference books, you should move to PMBOK and read it many times. Then comes taking mock tests that might take another 20-30 days.
Think again, life is long and hence there is no harm in having patience and trying PMP with a good plan.
Saket, PMP
