PMBoK + PMP Exam Simulator = PASS
More than 80% of the material on the exam is taken directly from the Project Management Body of Knowledge or PMBoK, so that should be at the top of your study list. I read it about five times when I studied for the exam.
An exam simulator is the big gun in your arsenal, packing a lot of punch for the money. You can simulate exam conditions and practice questions in your diagnosed weak areas at your own pace to fit your schedule. Using my PMP Exam Sim along with PMBoK study will get you a pass on your first attempt - guaranteed.

MAS90 ERP with Crystal Reports XI - Hands on PMP
Sage MAS90, a mid-range Enterprise Resource Planning software tool, currently in Version 4.4+ and licensed to perhaps thousands of customers has a certification program that gives special precedence to PMPs. Certified project managers can opt out of some of the coursework or something (check with them for the details), but beyond that, the course of study to get the certification has a beneficial side-effect in getting us cognizant of risk, time, quality, schedule and other management areas that are crucial to developing strategic and tactical level reports on this platform or any ERP platorm, I presume.
I am currently consulting to a manufacturer of industrial shipping supplies, primarily pallets at Treen Box & Pallet, Inc. In my job, I administer the ERP system (MAS90 V4.4) and another ERP for the industry, PalMate. In addition, I write reports almost daily, using Crystal Reports XI R2.
If you are not yet certified as a PMP you may want to check out my home-grown Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam Simulator for MS Windows (soon to be available for phones). And by the way, I have also built a Crystal Reports, Business Objects Exam Sim.
Getting either sim will help you pass an exam or a difficult job interview, and so are way worth the nominal price. Getting both may help you get a job like mine, I see more and more call for PMPs with ERP, specifically PMP expertise. It used to be a CPA domain, but I think our background is broad and deep enough to surpass that of a CPA. Certified Public Accountants are great, but often their expertise is limited to taxes and financial reports and the GL.

A PMP who Knows something about the CISSP certification, and others.
To become a fully certified CISSP you need to have 5 years of professional experience in 2 or more of the Ten Domains of the Common Body of Knowledge. This combined with passing the exam and having a sponsor (someone already certified as a CISSP and in good standing with ISC(2)) are what a student needs to become a CISSP.
Here is a list of the Ten Domains of the Common Body of Knowledge for the CISSP (all covered and selectable in my CISSP Exam Simulator:
• Access Control
• Application Security
• Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery Planning
• Cryptography
• Legal, Regulations Compliance, and Investigations
• Operations Security
• Physical (Environmental) Security
• Security Architecture and Design
• Information Security and Risk Management
• Telecommunications and Network Security
If a student doesn't have the prerequisite 5 years of professional experience they can still take the exam, and if they pass they are designated as an Associate CISSP until they reach the minimum years of professional experience. This doesn't mean that they are unable to perform the duties of a full CISSP; it just means that they haven't accrued the requisite number of years of professional experience. Once they have that time served they are granted the certification of a CISSP.
Currently, I offer Certification Exam Simulators or Test Trainers or Personal Test Centers for Windows computers, laptops and notebooks in the following certs:
- Project Management Professionals (PMP)... more
- Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)... more
- Enrolled Agent IRS Exam (EA)... more
- PHP/Zend Engineer... more
- Java Development as a basis for most Sun Cert Exams... more
- Business Objects/Crystal Report Development (to XII)... more
- Oracle Development, version agnostic to Oracle Database 11g... more
- Networking, and Internet Technology... more
These Personal Exam Simulators can be extended to cover additional professional certifications upon your request, or with our developer's kit you can develop question, answer, and explanation content and plug it into our simulator for a low license fee and then profit by distributing your own version to your students, job candidates, or via a sales venue. We help you roll your own exam simulator.
If you are an employer, ensure you hire talent by testing job candidate aptitude with an exam simulator.
My day consulting job as an MBA, PMP for Treen Box & Pallet, Inc., has me responsible for MAS90 and Crystal Reports Support, PalMate ERP support, along with Network, computer and other IT support tasks, along with development of the company website (just started it), and a PHP app for front-ending incoming business from the field sales group and inside order takers ala "Action Book". It's a great place to work as unlike bigger more "corporate" offices everyone is usually smiling here and means it.

Dress Your Project for Success
If you are a PMP, you have learned and been tested on the detailed tactics for accomplishing just this, via communications, planning, integration and so on. Not a PMP you say? Well add some value to both your project and your career by becoming certified.
My favorite presentation and promotion tool for prospective candidates is my diagnostic PMP Exam Simulator for MS Windows (all versions - and tablet). Good luck!

Exam Simulator Alive and Well
In collaboration with other subject matter experts, I also offer Exam Simulators for the CISSP, EA, PHP, Java, BO/CR, Oracle, IT Tech, and even Fly Fishing Instructor (my hobby).
Because I consult as a project manager, making Gantt charts, project plans, doing resource management, and software/systems engineering and more by day, my Exam Sim website does not get daily attention. It is alive, and well, and up to date for the current exams, (PMP - PMBoK 4th edition). Buy my exam sim for MS Windows. You will not be disappointed. You will pass the exam - I guarantee it! Exam sims are also great tools for preparing for difficult tech interviews in this tight labor market. Get the job! Pass the exam! Good luck!

Open Source Project Management Tool
Now, if you are looking for that MS Project alternative, I endorse OpenProj. If you are looking to pass your Project Management Professional (PMP) exam, get an exam simulator. One costs hundreds of dollars. I could not afford it when I was studying. Mine costs much less and is perhaps better. It is diagnostic, selectable by Knowledge Area, has test center (auto) and practice modes and a graphic histogram to show just how bright you are in each KA at a glance.
