I do not deny the value of self-study however only an experienced Agile Trainer can clear your basic concepts.
21 Contact Hours Agile Training is a mandate but what I have noticed is that most of the people consider it as a mere prerequisite for PMI-ACP® Certification. I would suggest do not underestimate the worth of PMI-ACP Training. The company offering 21 contact hours PDUs assures your certification. Your Agile skills and learning get honed in the process-you get hands-on experience of Agile tools & techniques.
Ensure that the PMI-ACP Training company you have opted for provides you with all the study material and complete (Pre & Post training) assistance required to get certified.
Once you have a good mentor, you need to learn all the important topics from the examination point of view. And, you will be able to find them via PMI-ACP® Certification Content Outline.

4. Study PMI-ACP® Certification Content Outline

Be selective and have an eagle eye to gauge the important issues. PMI-ACP® Certification Content Outline covers many areas, especially the knowledge and skills section. Remember Level 2 & 3 of the Knowledge and Skills section, it just constitutes 17% of the test and only some of the topics from this area are frequently getting tested.
Last, but not least you need to assess your readiness for the final PMI-ACP® Test for which you need to take simulation exams.

5. Take Simulation Exam

You need to have an efficient and reliable resource for simulation tests. You may find many simulation test providers however the question is which one is the right choice.
Do not confuse your mind by attempting many simulation tests. You should pick two or three full-length reliable simulation tests and make sure that the test provider offers justified answers to that.
