Hi guys,

Just wanted to give my two cents on what worked for me. I am a forum lurker who just passed the PMP exam today.

My situation was as follows:

Last year (April) I took a PMI-sponsored PMP prep class to gain my classroom hours. i retained very little -- just the books, really-- since I had not adequately prepared for the class. In hindsite, I certainly would have taken the class as a last step in my studying for the test instead of the first.  Lesson learned.
