Passed PMP - 11-Jul-2013 - All Ps
Results: All 5 Proficient!! :):)
Thanks to PMZilla information powerhouse and helpful members. Here is my brief lessons learned:
Books:
Head First PMP - Started with this - Extremely helpful to clear out all the concepts - would definitely endorse this any time
PMBOK 4ed - Helpful to fill in the gaps and a must read to ensure you cover everything and that too from a book on which exam is based - Read it 3 times.
Mock Tests Given:
Head First PMP - 90%
Simplilearn - 78%
PMStudy 1 - 87%
PMStudy 2 - 81%
PMStudy 3 - 88%
PMStudy 4 - 87%
Oliver Lehmann 75 - 73%
Oliver Lehmann 175 - 85%
101 Maths Questions (Scribd) - 91%
Site Referred:
PMZilla - No doubt looking at so many member queries, itself clears your doubts as well.
Deep Fried Brain Project - Excellent Harwinder blogs on some complex topics and clear your basics.
Actual Exam
Exam was very similar to PMStudy questions but a lot of questions on Earned Value. If you know the formulas it should do. Indirect ITTO questions, a lot of what happens NEXT questions.
Make sure to visit your center few days before, to ease off anxiety on exam day.
I would be happy to help with any question that anyone might have. Thanks to all the members for their help.in helping me achieve this wonderful score.
Regards
Saurabh Joshi PMP :)

Appendix Contents
Thanks Sugatadas...regarding your question...
As you yourself agree, do read all the definitions. Questions might be indirect and actually point to the definitions used in a real world scenario.
Other things worth reading in Appendix:
1. Interpersonal skills.
2. Difference between project management plan and project documents.
3. Difference between charter and scope statement.
Didnt read / understand much from Application Extensions section :)
I dont think I read anything other than that in the appendix. That should be sufficient, I guess. Everything els eis more of a version-related information and contributors.
Hope it helps!
Regards
Saurabh, PMP
