I personally failed PPD on my first try. What are you suggestions on regrouping and managing to get through this exam on my second try?

I am stuck at PA exam. I passed three exams (PCM, PJM and CE) in first try but keep failing PA. I really don’t know what else to read or watch. I think I know the material very well but I cannot figure out the logic of test designer in most question.
