I finally passed my PMP after my second attempt. I do want to thank everyone for their encouragement and advice. It was nice to hear people giving positive reinforcement after what it felt like was earth crumbling down on me. 

Few tips and lessons learned:

PMBOK.. read it at least once. There are some brave hearts here will tell you otherwise. Great, but you should read it. They say 50-60% of the question are from PMBOK, and if 61% is passing rate, you should know the PMBOK. Not inside out, just overall understanding.
