Hi Sunil,
Make sure that you read PMBOK5 at least twice and also use Rita’s book to understand the concepts with examples.

Check out those links, too. Head First has a rotating selection of questions, and you can specify test size, if you don't want to take 200 questions at once.

I kept redoing both of those until I got 90% on both, before taking the exam. At least, for me, those questions were harder than my actual PMP exam, but I suppose your results may vary.

After three PMI certifications, I agree with your observations: mock exams tend to be more difficult than the certification exams.

Read PMBOK minimum two times and be through with concepts.

I chose an online course which provided lecture material, mock exams and tip sheets. I also bought the PMBOK guide which I read through a couple of times. I found that this along with the links John mentioned above were more than enough to help me pass.
