I took my PMP exam recently but couldn't pass. I am confused now as the pattern is going to change and I don't know where to start my preparation again. Can someone guide me?

Sorry for that, but try again, i pass the PMP on my 4th attempt, what i will recommend is to answer the questions, and a lot of questions, i think this will be the only way.
1000+ questions with iZenbridge, 1000+ questions from PMP Exam Prep (PM Training), Oliver F. Lehmann questions, PM Study, and etc

If I look back at the way I attempted the exam, I was not able to quickly correlate the question to the concepts clearly. Most of the times I was reading the questions too many times and that consumed a lot of my time. The questions at the last were slightly easy and I had less time to attempt them as a result. I also was overwhelmed by the questions many a times during the exam because of not being able to guage the concept it was based on.

I did a lot of hardwork over the last 5 months for preparing for the exam. I read Rita's book 3 times and then PMBOK for a good 3 times and attempted full length exams making it up to 1500 questions of practice which I thought was enough. But now I feel a lot dissapointed.

Thanks for replying. I actually studied PMBOK 6th guide(2-3 times) and Rita Mulcahy's 8th edition. My actual worry now is all that might not help me because exam pattern is changing and agile comes into picture. So my next attempt would be as good as a fresh attempt again isn't it?.
My suggestion is to practice a lot of sample question and analyze them. After that try Oliver Lehmann and see if you can score above 70%

The PMP certification process focuses on understanding the 49 PMBOK processes, which cannot be judged by one's own experience, and needs to be based on the original intention of PMBOK. Come on, hope you pass

"Impartial observers from other planets would consider ours an utterly bizarre enclave if it were populated by birds, defined as flying animals, that nevertheless rarely or never actually flew. They would also be perplexed if they encountered in our seas, lakes, rivers and ponds, creatures defined as swimmers that never did any swimming. But they would be even more surprised to encounter a species defined as a thinking animal if, in fact, the creature very rarely indulged in actual thinking."
