I would like share the strategy which I followed for preparing;

1. I read PMP book + Rita + Andy Crow
2. Mug- up 47 process of project management. There are some tip to remember this example for knowledge areas: In School The Calculus Quiz Has Created Really Poor Score =  Integration Scope Time Cost Quality HR Communication Risk Procurement Stakeholder
3. Mug-up the formula EVM, NPV, Purchase

Focus on:

·  Mug-up the ITTO of Initiation and closing because they are only 4 process and covers 20% mark.

·  Prepare Initiation, Execution, M&C and Closing  well. They all together cover up +70% marks

·  HR execution process Acquire team, Develop team and manage team.

·  In planning Risk management, Scope, time and quality

Finally take online mock test and make sure you score above 70% in these test. I took 07 online mock tests with PM exam simulator.

I passed my PMP in second attempt. In first attempt I prepared well but didn't appear any mock test. In second attempt prepared like before with focus on understanding the concept. Then appeared 7 mock tests at PM precast. My score was between 75 to 82 in all tests. I cleared PMP with all modules scored moderate. PM PrepCast is best to judge your preparedness.
