Read through PMBOK and figure out how PMBOK would answer the questions, not necessarily how you do it in real life. I took a 4 day class that forced me to study it all day everyday, and easily passed that friday.

Has her book been updated with the new methodology? They focus more on agile PM now, everything is different.

I used “Head First PMP” and thought it was exceptional. Studied about 30 min a day for 2 months and passed the first time.

I second this book! Extremely useful to pass the exam. PMP in real life not so much.

Take the online self paced class offered by PMI - the interactive modules have everything you need

I never touched the book

It’s read and regurgitate from the PMBOK

I had to take a course and get certified for a role earlier in my career. I was already a lean/ss master black belt and the pmbok flat out gets lean/ss content wrong.

As stated above, read it and do the practice questions and you’ll be set.

Remember it is more of a long haul to cover the material and see how it fits together. I had on team member study 18 hours straight for it just before taking the test and failed miserably.

Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
