How to Pass PMP?

You can pass PMP Exam, but don't take it easy. You have to study and pratice hard. You need to have a motivation to do it.

Following is how i passed my PMP exam. I already had Prince 2 and IPMA Level-D certification and a lot of experince. But some that could cause you trouble if you are doing things differently other than as per PMI recommendations. Your competency will tested as per PMI rules. So you will need lot of time to practice to pass exam. Its just like a driving test, no matter how good driver you are but you have to 100% follow the rules of driving to pass the driving test.

You should try to accomplish following in 2-3 months.

Read PMBOK latest edition (at least read twice) 
Read Rita's latest edition (at least read twice)
Create notes

Take Project Management Course (it will give you 32 credit hours you need, plus good training)
Read any other PMP books or material of your choice
update noets

*** Register for exam

Read PMBOK latest edition (re read once again) 
Read Rita's latest edition (re read once again)

Take online exam simulation 
(first take exam by sections to find out where you need to put more effort, then take full exams, at least take 5 full exams, you must take overall 70% to be sure you will pass)
