Time to hit the PMP Hard. Any Good Advice?

As with any exam, I am attacking this as though I know nothing and looking for constructive or useful advice. Going to take the exam in 6 weeks and already starting the application process. I passed P+ and ITIL about 2 months ago and passed the CISSP exam with two weeks worth of studying. I have the following materials:
PMBOK, 5th ed (digital and physical)
PMP Head Start/First?, 3rd (digital and physical)
Rita, 8th ed (digital)
PMP CBT Nugget Videos
PMP Audio Files (forgot company, but like 40 diff files)
What do you recommend is the best way to go about this. With the CISSP, I did the following
1. watch cbt nuggets
2. read simple guide
3. read insane guide and watched video
Should I do this the same way or what do you recommend? Any advice and focus will be great. Such as what are areas that should be studied harder than others (even though everything is important)

Boo...Boo this man. Boo!
For my money the PMP was wayyyy harder. The CISSP was absolute cake compared to it....for me. At the end of the day, I think it boils down to the person taking the test and possibly the luck of the draw with the question bank.
For ITTO's, the best advice that I fought at first was to simply learn why/what went into each one. Simply memorizing the ITTO's will only get you through a very small percentage of the questions whereas understanding them will help you in a whole lot more. Depending on which bank of questions you get memorization may or may not get you through.
I did find accessing the Prepcast flashcards to be useful when sitting around waiting to do other things. I would pull them up at the Dr, Dealer, stuck in traffic, long grocery store line...wherever.
Best of luck!
Hahaha, one of the biggest challenge for CISSP is endurance. 6 hours for 250 questions will certainly numb your brain...at least for me
check out Joseph Phillips.
the course contains videos lectures, PDFs to help let you know key things, practice exams to test knowledge of each lecture, some games. Flash cards too. And a discussion forum with instructor and other students.
so far IMO, the value of this method of instruction is much better than cbtnuggets. I have a subscription so I have seen both courses. I will leverage both video sources as I am not fast tracking this.
course comes with couple hundred pages of supp, material. A valuable 10 page memory ****.
note: if you look for coupons you can get course for possibly as little as $15. To me that is a heck of a deal.
i would have been okay paying full price for this course. No 90 day subscription as it gives lifetime access.
normal price was about $189.
A nice feature is download to iPad the videos.
there is no ongoing subscription fee like cbtnuggets.
i bought both of his PMP and capm courses. $30 was great deal.
