At what point did you feel that you were overstudying?

Did you reach a point where you felt that you were overstudying? I don't think I am at the point of overstudying but I do feel that I need to take a step back. I have been studying everyday for over a month. Problem is, I haven't made it through the PMBOK completely. I have made it through Rita's.

I see many people saying read the PMBOK a few times. Reading is ok, but for retention, I like to ready and break it down on my Dry-Erase board so making it through a KA can be 1-2 days worth of studying.

Ultimately, I want to spend my time doing the right things with the highest ROI.

 

TIA

For example, a long question with lots of info...but all it asks you to do was to differentiate between a project and an operation (wouldn't tell you so explicitly though).

Don't overstudy. That was a hard lesson I learned...

Dont worry about overstudying, every individual is diffferent, do whatever it takes to get 70% to 80% in mock tests. Some people can do PMP with 40 hours prep and for some even 300 hours are not sufficient.
