Here some tips: 1-make tons of exam questions (3-4 times the amount of questions of the exam). When you get 75%-85% of accurancy systematicaly then you are ready. . 2-remember that questions are situational then it has no sense to memorize the PMBOK. The important thing is to undestand it. 3-day of the exam and the mid date before do nothing related to the exam except the exam itself. 4-do not stop to much into a question. Mark the question for revision and go ahead. 5-if you have doubt about an answer follow your instint.

Look at the results and identified weaker areas. Focus there. Additionally, focus on areas you felt you were weak in, i.e. time management, changing answers, etc..
Good luck on your next attempt. Now you have a real-life practice under your belt! You'll do great. Saving Changes...
Don’t get discouraged. Use this experience as a teachable moment to study your areas for growth. The PMP is indeed a challenging exam. It does not assess memorization but rather application. Like a few others noted, invest in supplemental study materials, commit to a solid study plan and I am confident you will see results. Best wishes. Saving Changes...
