I recently cleared my PMP. I read Rita twice and PMBOK twice. if you are finding PMBOK too dry. dont read it continuously, that is what I did. attempt mock tests and  go back to PMBOK and read chapter which you find questions that are difficult to answer, this way over a period of time you will cover most the chapters. Rememebr to focus on tables, diagrams, charts in PMBOK also the glossary. you dont have to rememebr ITTO's. But should know main outputs from each process

A lot of PMP is about practice. APril is long time away if you spend time revising and reading about the topics you find difficulty you have good chance of mastering by April.

Generally PMs who have less experience find it tough to grasp the concept. You will have to make up for lack of experience by reading more variety of books and giving more mock tests.

This happens when we prepare for a long time.. even i experianced the same last few weeks during my exam preparation. I involved in sports, hangout with friends and always took small breaks and then was reading.. I watched videos of the topics which I feel bore while reading. All the best..

Nisha,

Since one of your questions was on mastering or memorizing ITTO for the exam, I thought I would direct you to my website.

(Thanks as always to PMZilla for this wonderful site.)

At Mastering ITTO for the PMP Test you will find two videos I created on ITTO.  One is 4 minutes long and the other is 16 minutes long.  I hope they help you with ITTO.

Best Wishes on Passing the PMP,

Nisha,

I have just posted my LL .. you can go thru that.

I would highly recommend at least 3 reads (serious ones) of the PMBOK even though it is dry. One thing you can do is read one chapter from PMBOK and then same one from Rita this will help to get the concepts cleared.

Remember to give around 3000-4000 questions after you have completed your reading. April is a long time and make sure you have created a study plan for your self .. prepare a day wise study plan it will help you to stay on track. Let me know if you have any specific questions and am happy to help
