You should memorize all formulas, especially the Earned Value and PERT.
Practice eliminating the completely implausible options first.
There is no penalty for guessing; thus, do not leave any question blank.
There will always be those situations where you have no idea what the question is asking.
Use educated guessing to select the most appropriate option. Remember, you have only 80 seconds for each question. If you do not know the answer of a question, mark it and move on and revisit it later if you have time.
Answer the questions based on the PMBOK concepts first, then consider your experience.
If they are in conflict, the PMBOK wins.
