Cracking PMP is not a herculean task. what i recommend is read the PMBOK at least once.
take a A4 paper and write the project management process groups page from PMBOK, refer page 41 of the PMBOK. you will get a better understanding of the PMIsm by this. Now start linking each activity you do in your project with this knowledge area, stop calling them as you do now, instead start calling them as said in the above mentioned process groups. this will help you on ITTOs

the next thing is to remember the formulas (EVM)

and finally for the situational questions answer is what are you doing now on your project, but the name for that must be picked from the PMBOK. for example you might be using various scheduling tools, management tools information systems etc, but when you answer PMP questions this must be Project Management Information System :)

Best of luck!!
