Reddit mentions of The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try, Sixth Edition

The three things that helped me massively with executive function are:

• Getting things done

  I did these over a number of years and worked extremely hard at it. I also use mind mapping software called freeplane.

Thanks but I’ve ordered Andy Crowe,also aligned.

Update: book never came. I’ve passed the exam without the book.

I haven't taken the test yet so I can't speak to how useful my habits are. TL;DR I don't think you need it if everything else you've purchased is helpful and engaging.

I've purchased Andy Crowe's book, several courses on Udemy, both the long form and cram versions of Joseph Phillips' courses, and the PrepCast Exam simulator, all in addition to the PMBOK. Out of all these I have used the PMBOK the least, and it's very very dry compared to everything else. The Exam Simulator will point out where in the PMBOK I can look up for a specific question, I'll read that page several times and still not really understand it. I don't find it particularly helpful and it bores me. I think if you're very detail-oriented it could help, but it comes with a lot of noise that drowns out the main takeaways you should be getting from the material.

Which Andrew Ramdayal book did you get? Amazon has two of them:
