Passed PMP exam on 15-Jul-13 in first attempt

Dear friends,

I have passed the PMP exam on 15-Jul-13 with 3 P's and 2 MPs in first attempt.  PM Zilla is a great source of information and I have referred it whenever I needed clarifications on any mock test questions/answers.  I have gone through Rita, PM BOK more than once. The examniation was very easy and also tricky on some questions.  I have got 15-20 math questions and several risk/procurement questions.  The risk questions are mostly related to response strategies and the procurement ones are mostly about contract types. There were also ITTO questions which are asked indirectly. I have prepared rigorously for last 3 months but before that I was going through PMBOK/Rita whenever I found time.  I have referred Kim Heldman for further explanation.

I have taken the following mock tests and hope it helps others. I don't remember exact % I scored but on an average I was scoring between 75-85%.

Headfirst, Oliver Lehmann, examcentral, pm study, pmp for sure, passionate pm, brainbok (brain bok is mostly about ITTO), preparepm.  Out of the these, Oliver and pm study are difficult and have brain teaser questions. 

Pmpexam.in, cofares.net, thetesthub.com have answers immediately following the questions but they give good foundation.

I felt very relieved when I saw the Congratulations message.
