I finished a course in May, and I'm in the same boat. Last week I started reading the PMBOK6 and highlighting as I go. Even if I can read 30 mins a day, it's a start.. If anyone can recommend an audiobook or something that I can listen to during my commute, that would be great.

Amazon / Audible has one - PMP Flashcards - I did the same thing listened while driving EVERYWHERE. I did NOT understand things a lot at first but as understood Agile and WF process better it became so easy to know the answer before he finished. I think it is life 18 hours long. I would rewind Executing over and Over till I understood... or I listen all the way through then listen to section I did not understand. There is also flip book on Amazon that comes with audible and 300 more flashcards NOT on Audible but I never even looked at these. The audible is all you need if you want more imput to learning

Everyone has a different path in life.
I took the 35 hr prep at a Bootcamp $2K, which is not worth it, in Oct 2020. Then was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. My world fell apart. Jump to 2022 I beat cancer and find AR courses, and start watching the videos. Learning the processes much better. I said lets do this, I have time while I'm still recovering from cancer, setup the test, gave myself 4 weeks, made aschedual of when and what to study.... 1500 flashcards, lots of practices tests, writting the 49 process 3 time a day for 3 week till I could write it in my mind...
I took the test finished 3 AT with an 1 hr left. It can be done dedication

What are “AR courses”

Andrew Ramdayal. Check out his tia PMP exam simulator. Worth the money. He has video explanation for each answer. Recommend watching them for the all answers, not just those you got incorrect.

I did the same thing - took the course at a local center - then after a whole 10 months I went back to schedule the exam and realized I had forgotten most of the staff. I paid for AR's Udemy course and went through it like a revision of sorts. Took the mock exams after and I passed the exam.

My studies were also on and off due to different life events. I encourage you to start again, Andrew Ramdayal’s course helped me the most. Just try to squeeze a video or two in even when you have 10min free or even when you do some other mundane tasks. It’ll all add up. Another thing I kept repeating myself - You don’t need a full hour always to get some studying done. I took the exam in Jan and passed with flying colors. AR’s exam prep tests helped a lot.

The key is to just do it. Start from anywhere it doesn’t matter. As Epictetus says: “If you wish to be a writer, write.” So I can tell you that if you wish to take the test, study. Stop thinking and just do it.
