Best Resources for PMP Exam (Free & Paid)

 

Most people ask me about the best resources for preparing for the PMP Exam. They ask for PMP websites, online PMP preparation courses, PMP books, Forums to ask PMP related questions, and Question Banks among other things.

So I decided to compile a detailed PMP Resource Guide for your benefit. Use these resources to prepare for the PMP Exam. Happy browsing, and preparing for the exam. Best of Luck, and hope you earn your PMP Credential quickly and painlessly…

The PMP Exam changes on 26-Mar-2018. After this date, it will be based on the PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition.

Free Mock PMP Certification Exam Questions

The best way to prepare for the PMP exam is to try out as many mock exam questions as you can. You can read PMP exam prep books but it is all theory, and you will not learn how to apply the concepts learned into real exam questions. So try out as many exam questions, and find out where is the gap in your knowledge.

PMP Forums to ask Questions and network with other PMP aspirants

Forums are a great place to network, and ask simple or complex questions. It is most important to get some support from PM Forums and find that there are others who are also preparing for the exam, and you can help them or ask for help from them.

Some good PMP exam prep Forums are:

• PMChamp PMP Forum
• PMZilla
• I want to be a PMP – LINKEDIN Group
• PMP Tips LinkedIn Group

That’s it for now. If you come across any other good PMP resource, do let me know, and I’ll add it here.
