I'm currently enrolled in a PMP test prep course. Any study guide recommendations because it seems like a lot of it is more definitions and theory than practical skills. I've always been one of those standardized test people that over analyze the questions.

TIA

I cannot say enough how much PMI's Study Hall helped me prep. I used a bunch of resources but I think Study Hall is the reason I passed. I also watched a bunch of the Mindset videos on YouTube and used Pocket Prep, but Study Hall. Worth every penny.

Ex-MBB, recently started a new MM PE role, but had also applied to HBS in case the PE route doesn’t work out. Thankfully, both the PE and HBS applications were successful. Now I need to decide whether to leave my current role after only 6-10 months to go to business school, or try to defer the MBA.

What should I do? I’m torn between wanting to do MBA at an earlier age vs ensuring good PE employability post MBA(either at current firm or other). Not sure how well 6-10 Mos pre-MBA PE exp is valued
