Hey, I would suggest taking mocks, PMP is vast and you have to know your strengths and weakness. When I took my 1st mock, I learnt that I was weak in 4 KA. Fine tuned those areas and take more mocks.

So go-ahead and give one.

The most important thing is to make notes of your mistakes and other things that you feel important. I had a word doc that was over 120 pages in the end and was very useful for my last minute revision.

For instance for HR i made notes such as below based on my mock experience:

To answer “resolve conflict question” follow the steps
1. Project manager should take teams buy-in during project planning. Not when the project starts i.e. executing. Or even if you are taking in resources during executing then you need to 1st take buy-in from them as they join.
2. Understand whether the team or the members of the team are fighting i.e. Conflicts need to be resolved by those experiencing the problem not with the whole team
3. Strive for fair resolution of the issue (problem solving best, forcing bad)
4. Identify what they are fighting about (technical activities / project standard etc.)
5. Those having the problem should resolve the problem. The two team members should work out the problem. If impacting the project (the two resources are not able to resolve the fights). The project manager is responsible for communicating what or which activity needs to happen next.
6. If it’s about technical decision or resource allocation you should directly go to their functional manager
7. If its ethic issues directly speak to the manager of the resource

1st point above is derived from a mock questions that gave a situation saying the team members are confused or low moral about their project work. What did the PM forgot to do?

In short, Keep taking mock tests, make notes, fine tune weak areas. Trust me the exam is not difficult but tricky.
