Hi Cheem

When in doubt I generally suggest to reschedule the exam. Dont worry too much about new format. Ensure that you are confident. If your mind is worked up and tense , you may not do too well in final exam. you have an advantage since you are taking the test 2nd time, so you already know the type of questions which are going to appear in real exam. 

The final call is upto you, however ensure that you have prepared well and not giving exam for sake of it, else you will have no one else to blame.

Looks like postposing is not a viable option for you at the moment. The exam is going to undergo some changes in Jan 2016. However, I do not expect them to be major. Still, if you can't postpone, get down to practicing questions and revising the PMBOK content. It is good to know that you have atleast read through Rita well as it is one of the best supplementary materials for the exam. When I sat the exam second time around, I focused on flashcards, practice questions, and more questions since I already knew most of the content. Have you attempted Oliver Lehmann questions? If you haven't, I suggest you do them. Also, in the final days before my exam I used this app called PMP Exam Mentor to revise through their flashcards and scroll through the PMBOK content. It's free so I suggest you try that as well. Other than that, you can look at PMP braindumps as well as summary sheets to really skim through the content. However, do not stress too much as that might impact your nerves and hinder your ability to answer questions. Walk into the exam room calmly and have confidence in your knowledge. Although you should sit and give a couple of 200 question mock exams to calm your nerves, if you can't, just have faith in your self. I hope you pass with flying colors this time around.
