yeah, subject says it all. last 2-3 months have been really tough for me to prepare for the final day.Read PMBOK5 (yeah, nothing else. Just PMBOK5 BOOK) 2 times and notes prepared by my manager at work (based on PMBOK4) and Rajesh Tallam notes(found on PMZilla). In the last week, i was just going through these notes. Practiced tests on rita and c.Scoda's mock tests: 4-5 of them, and yeah, NEVER PASSED a single mock test :D. that's all about my prep. 2-3 hours a day for last 3 months. last 10-15 days on mock tests and going through notes and finally cleared PMP today. HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all and all the very best for your preparations. My ONLY suggestion, go through PMBOK asmany as possible till you get the concept correct and make sure you practice to get a glimpse of the test criteria.

I'm confident that you are good to go. Its just about your confidence level. Rita is obviously above PMI complexity level. So, practicing on Rita would definitely good choice. Please go though some of the notes for the rest of the time. Go through feedback areas mentioned in the exams. Fill the gaps where you think you lack. Apart from all these, CONFIDENCE you feel is the KEY. If you Feel, you can clear, you will clear :)
