best resources are:

exponent
- for question database and guidebooks for specific apm programs. i personally bought the yearly subscription but ngl I wouldn't pay again as I ended up just making up my own mock questions and the guides were kinda basic. best resource is their free youtube channel although the paid videos were kinda nice too. id recommend finding someone to leech off of or share
stellarpeers
- the best website to find mock interviews. i did a total of ~80-90 mock interviews between may-november of my full time apm recruiting season
https://apmlist.com/
- website is very slow but you can use it as a tracker. i dont recommend depending on this. you can usually find release dates for apm programs through word of mouth by mocking or just spamming linkedin
book
- decode and conquer
  - the best book ive read on how to get the initial interview question framework down
- cracking the pm interview
  - basically decode and conquer but not as good imo
- swipe to unlock
  - book to get a good product sense and see how they went from 0 to 100

tips

hedge ur bets
- if you have ~100 slots for all of the prestigious apm programs and have 8k kids applying to google apm every year then even the smartest harvard kids arent getting in. i wish i had hedged more with swe/tpm roles
mock interviews
- easiest and honestly the only way to start prepping. compared to swe there isnt as easy of a path to prep like leetcode

2a. dont follow circles framework go invent your own or smthn but dont deviate too far

2b. focus on practicing product design questions above all else / no one asks estimatino anymore except google
