Please do not get bogged down by the hype that is created by new and old test patterns.. if you are taking PMP for the first time , it shd not matter whether it is new or old patterns.. I believe most of you will agree it will be  same for you.. SO just concentrate on the exam. My tips

1. Read RITA once

2. Go thru PMP

3. GO process wise (Initiating , Planning , Execution . MOnitoring and Processing , Closure)

out of which  Initiating , Execution and closure will cover 50 % questions..
