Many of the sites that provided Fourth Edition material are not updated to the Fifth Edition yet. In this document, those sites are highlighted in red. Since it’s well after 31 JUL 2013, I’ll be checking the red highlighted sites for updates. PMP® Study Guide: There are numerous study guides out there. In my experience, John Wiley Publishing Company’s SYBEX PMP Study Guide contains the most useable tools for the money. The guide is written by Kim Heldman.

Training for 35 Direct Contact hours PM-Prepcast If you are going to pay for PMP® preparation materials, Cornelius Fichtner provides a very good value for each personal dollar (or whatever your currency) spent. He runs two very well received Podcasts. One is free, the other is not. The PMI recognizes his paid Podcast for the 35 Direct Hours of training required to submit your PMP® test application. http://www.project-managementprepcast.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=39&Itemid=76 WhizLabs If you are going to pay for PMP® preparation materials, the folks at the relatively new whizlabs.com also have a self-paced training and practice test combination that is a little pricier than the longstanding PM-Prepcast. The PMI recognizes this package for the 35 Direct Hours of training required to submit your PMP ® test application. http://www.whizlabs.com/pmi-project-management-professional/pmp-mock-exam.html

BetterPM Here’s a site that contains relatively inexpensive training and practice tests for 5e. There is also a set of free practice quizzes for 5e. http://www.betterpm.com/ TutorAli As all 42 of PMBOK 4e’s processes received some type of change, I don't agree with TutorAli's assessment that not much changed in 5e, but I like the layout he used for this tutorial. Folks can make their own decisions as to the value of TutorAli's training. Check out this hour-long youtube tutorial video and make your own decision.
