headfirst pmp - used the book and it was BY FAR the best study resource. I did read the PMBOK and took an online boot camp. Headfirst PMP will get you there.

Thanks for the tip! Which online course did you take and did you pass on your first attempt?

Used the PM Prep Cast for my contact hours. Easy to listen to in the car or on the plane and knock out the requirement. There are also plenty of apps with question banks to drill yourself

rita’s is good for practice. honestly if you just take 3-4 practice tests and review your mistakes, you’ll be fine.

for the hours i did an in-person class while i was on the bench. knocked it out in 4 days. it was pretty good but i forget what it was called. the instructor was dan ryan - he travels all over the place giving these classes. i wonder how much he makes, cause it was expensive.
