It's an individual challenge and all that matters is you get a passing score. Now, that said; many years ago when I studied I found that it is was not so much the KA but applying the framework, processes and approach to choose,what the PMBOK recommends, as the correct answer on the test. The psychometric test is to test your knowledge of the PMBOK not real experience of what you do in your day job. It's helpful to have practical knowledge but the test is based off the PMBOK.
