And just like many out there, including me, you want to attempt the PMP exam and give it your best shot to crack it on your first attempt!
First things first, this post will walk you through my personal journey on how, I, in particular, approached the PMP exam. It does not necessarily advocate the ONLY best practices out there. But it shall rather walk you through the usual works of how to go about getting yourself PMP certified from my perspective. It would also be a good idea to first go through the PMP Handbook as a first pass review to get yourself familiar. Again, I would urge you to also explore and find your own style of learning, preparing and approaching the PMP as you embark upon this journey. All along the way you can always keep coming back to this post to refer to any tips and tricks which you might feel shall benefit you.
The idea to pen down this information is due to the fact that I personally took help of many such blog posts to prepare myself. Thus, I am going to try and give you abundant information on the PMP application process, PMI membership, PMP exam prep, reading materials, tests, strategies and other tips and tricks! Anytime you feel overwhelmed with the flow of knowledge in this post or get tired reading the long text, take a break, drink some water, and come back and re-focus.

Read both of Rita and PMBOK and understand them very well
read the material then and answer all question which has answers to double check. to get you know what kind of question will you face in exam.
PMBook, Rita's book and I would highly recommend brainbok.com as the i/p's and o/p's are given where it logically make sense and shows what goes where and can related the entire life cycle. Read until you feel comfortable. Practice questions of Rita as well.

1- Select a good REP that teaches you how to understand rather than memorize
2- Attend all the35 training hours
3- Read Rita's book understanding it thoroughly, answering ALL the questions an doingALL the exercises
4- have a deadline by registering for the exam through the PMI website and schedule the exam2 months after you finished the course NOT MORE.
5- While you are doing Rita, do a cross check with the PMBOK, as this is your "constitution" and Rita is just an interpretation of that constitution ;)
you will pass
