In preparation for taking my exam I went through the following steps

2) Attended a PMP exam preparation course at a local PMI chapter - Ottawa Valley chapter. (12 weeks)
3) Purchased a PMP exam preparation audio CD from RMC Project Management Inc. and listened to it daily for a month just prior to exam
