I used Rita Mulcahy study prep materials and David McLachlan videos on YouTube. I studied for about 5 weeks and passed

All said, how many total hours would you say you spent?

I did because you have to for the 35 hrs and he sets a good foundation for material, but I mostly recommend buying the pmi study hall ($50) and use those mock exams and practice q’s to gauge where you’re at (60% on mock exams on study hall should mean you’re good to sit for the exam).

Yes I used the AR course for understanding the material and Study Hall for test prep.

I did and passed.

Didn't study, just took a bootcamp course on udemy. Not that hard, PMP isn't really useful unless it's required for a job you're pursuing. The test is more rote memorization than practical knowledge.

I have use Andrew courses and books. It was very helpful. And I pass the first try

How many hours would you say you spent studying in total?

Yeah I did and I failed. His stuff was out of date. Just watch all of David McLachlan's YouTube videos and you'll be just fine
