I cleared the examination with Proficient in 3 areas(Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling) ,MP in Initiating and BP in Closing. I studied for 2 months and started my preparation by first fixing my exam dates. I used to check in pmzilla forum for information which could assist me.

I didnt buy any study guides like rita, headfirst etc. nor did i buy an exam preparation questions. I went through the PMBOK and tried to understand each of the concepts(Google assisted me). I cant talk about the exam since against the PMI ethics. But I can suggest,
