Candidates are well aware that the PMBOK which is published by the PMI is an excellent book which sufficiently covers the topic of project management, but it is not the only reading material you would have to go through to ace the examination. If you solely rely on it, you won't be able to tackle the dreaded exam. You would have to go through other books on project management.
There is just one problem there are no prescribed reading materials. That's where we come into the picture. We would provide you titles of books that will be extremely handy and would be on the topics that have not been covered by the PMBOK. Other than that solving the specimen papers would help you to score well in your examination.

The PMBOK Guide
PMBOK or the guide to the Project Management Book of Knowledge which is published by the Project Management Institute would cover only 80% of the total syllabus to study to sit for the PMP examination. Even if you are highly confidential, it is advisable to through this book at least once while preparing for the test.
The best part is you can download a soft copy of the book once you become a PMI member. The pages are encrypted and watermarked lest you distribute the materials. The PMI takes very seriously and is aware that you do not carelessly pass on the contents of the book somewhere else.
This guide is not lucid, and many lose faith and give up their PMP aspirations. This book is not the only bow in your quiver. If you cannot go through the book undertake the exam prep course and the other study guides that will be mentioned below.
