Depending on experience level, the 11th hour Eric Conrad book. Review the chapters you're a little weak on over 2-3 days and just sit the thing. 5 questions in you'll realize none of it was covered the the book or any resource, and you just need to know your stuff.

I agree with EY1. I spent a lot of time doing the practice questions and when I sat for the test, was annoyed the questions weren't even close. The practice questions help you figure out what you don't know.

Deloitte boot camp + 1 month. I cleared in 97 questions.
The questions are tricky, we have to select the best answer, all look right.
I went through Shaun Harris front to back, and feel this is the best way to prepare.

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?
