I am looking forward to passing my PMP exam. Unfortunately, in September I met the target for two domains and failed the process one. I really need to pass this exam. In the PMI study hall, I am under the impression that I can pass the exam because the questions are not hard to answer. However, on the actual exam, I was stressed out. Please advise me on the process so I can nail it the next time. Thank you Saving Changes...

In general, for the PMP, here is what I suggest candidates do:
1) Read through the Exam Content Outline (ECO), PMBOK 6th Edition (Including the Agile Extension as lots of questions are Agile / Hybrid based) and then read the PMBOK 7th edition. Alternatively, you can read through the ECO, PMBOK 7th edition and then go through the new Process Groups Practice Guide.
2) Go through Rita Mulchay’s Exam Prep book, I think its 11th edition now, but double check. This is one of the best resources for exam preparation.
3) After you are done, purchase the Simulator Package through PM Prep Cast and practice as much as you can. This is a great simulator and resource for questions that mimic the real exam and will boost your confidence the more you practice.
4) If you want a course to fulfill your 35 Hours then check Joseph Phillips on Udemy. He is a PMI ATP and great instructor or check out PMI's self-paced course in the PMI Store.
