Hi Juan Pablo,
I too agree with Andrew that during the test, don't be afraid to mark questions for later review so that you don't get stuck on certain questions that could take away from your overall testing time.
In regards to identifying critical topics on the exam, what really helped me prepare was taking online practice tests. This helped me really get the hang of not only the timing of the test, but it also gave me an understanding of how the questions would be phrased. I don't think there are certain topics that are tested more than any, so it's hard to call that out. The best way to prepare is to feel confident in all sections of the exam. To help with this, I essentially tried to complete as many practice exams as I could prior to taking the full exam. From there, any question that I missed on the practice tests, I made sure to go back and re-review those sections of the PMBOK to ensure I had a better understanding than I previously did.
From my experience, trying to get as many example questions under my belt helped me feed more prepared as the style of questions on practice tests was very similar to the final test.
Good luck!
