PA exam - failed what next

I failed my first try for PA exam and I studied from Amber book, black spectacle, hyper fine and Ballast books, NCARB Mockup exam and was looking for other resources for similar style of NCARB questions because that’s what I feel was missing. That questions I practice is different style from the actual Exam. I was looking into Kaplan course, young architect or PPI2 pass course.
Did anyone used those resources and how was it helpful?
Depending on the results I my retake it or start study for PDD and PPD. Which one do you recommend for me what will PA martials overlaps.
