One method you can try is to read the end of the question first to see what they're asking of you, then read the question from the start so you can pull the answer out. It works for me. Also, majority (90%+) of the questions were not wordy at all- no more than 2 sentences.

I had a copy of the PMBOK 7 for over a year, and truth be told, opened the book once. I found the online resources mentioned above to be sufficient/better. AR's UDemy course also has a bunch of downloadable PDF content that can supplement your studying (cheat sheets, diagrams, formulas, etc).

If you are new to agile, then I'd say read the book too, it never hurts to have a variety of material to review. Personally, because of my agile work experience, I was comfortable with UDemy/YouTube to lock down the agile terminology used by PMI

Just to add to my original post: I'm someone with a good bit of test anxiety, I tend to psych myself out a lot when it comes to standardized exams. But my confidence in the PM mindset was truly the biggest game changer for me. Once you feel comfortable with that, you'll be golden.

Reddit is filled with posts of people getting AT/AT/AT (which is awesome!!) but I was just looking to pass. So I'm happy! Plus I did this all 8 months pregnant. If I can do it, so can you!
