Same situation. I've got all the books and practice tests for the current one so am going to give it another try. Very demoralizing.

What are you struggling with? Content wise

What material did you use for study

I read the PMBOK guide twice, and drilled through practice questions. The wordings are sometimes tricky, but once you get a sense of how they ask questions, you should be fine 🙂

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.
