What is the best PMP study plan?

Short answer

The best plan maps weekly hours to ECO domains, includes timed mocks with review, and adjusts as mock data reveals gaps.

Detailed answer

Start with eligibility and target exam date, then allocate time by domain weight (verify on PMI.org). Alternate content review with scenario practice and full mocks in the final weeks.
