Schedule PMP exam right after boot camp?
I have a PMP Prep boot camp scheduled in four weeks (Monday - Thursday). Would you recommend I schedule the PMP Exam for that Friday -- while the bootcamp info is fresh in my mind?
Advantage of scheduling right away: I'm taking the test while the bootcamp is still fresh in my mind
Advantage of waiting: More time to study -- (but forgetting info from bootcamp)
Additional info:
* I already have the pre-requisites to schedule the test.
* I have not yet studied the PMBOK or any practice tests. However, I plan to spend an hour per day for the next 4 weeks on Rita's exam Prep.
* I am fairly good at taking tests. Did well on ACT, SAT, GMAT, Microsoft Certs: MCAD MCSD.
Just looking for recommendations. Has anyone taken the test right after a bootcamp? And how well did the bootcamp prepare you?

If you are new PM with
If you are new PM with limited experience then i will not recommend immidiately scheduling the exam.
You should test your knowledge by giving the mock test from reputed sources and if you are doing well then only you should schedule your exam else you should spend more time in preparation.
PMP exam typically requires 180 hours of prep. Some people may spend 300 hours some 100 hours, generally I found average of 180 hours makes a person confident of giving PMP.
40 hours per week study will make it atleast 4 weeks to become ready for PMP
