I am able to clear PMP in the first hit without studying the PMBOK. Just thought of sharing this success story with fellow aspirants.

First, I tried multiple times to go through PMBOK but could not digest the narration. The Input, Tools & Technique and Output terminology was not much aligning with my project management practivce I do at work.

Then, I went through numerous youtube videos on project management knowledge areas to digest each knowledge area and processes involved in those.

Then, I went through SimpliLearn PMP online videos.
