Failed PjM Second Time! Need Help Seeing through ARE Questions!

I feel like I know the material, but get caught up on the questions. I have to read them 2 or 3 times and some just seem so unclear and I swear, a few just seamed like typos (I know there not). 

I came off a high from passing pcm first try and now failing pjm twice, stings bad.

All I can do is continue to study, more, but I feel no matter what I do, I will just get stumped on the rhythm and intent of the questions again.

How do you get more comfortable with, and 'study for' tricky questions that are supposedly not supposed to be tricking you.

  I think Mock Exams are my answer. 

  Get used to the questions and see how the answers relate to the questions.

  Can anybody recommend some good free and paid Practice / Mock Exams that are as close to the real thing as possible?

  I agree, do plenty of practice exams, then do more. I used Designer Hacks, but there are plenty of other suggestions on here. No, none of them are perfect. Be sure to review all the questions and correct answers. The point is to get used to how the questions are worded, what the question is actually asking, and what information is given but not needed. You got this!

  Don't give up!

  I second what the others have said. Definitely do a lot of practice exams to get your mind in the test taking mindset. My favorites were Ballast (now called PPI) and Designer Hacks. The PPI practice exams do a great job of explaining the reasoning of the answers in the answer keys.
