Nothing wrong with prepcast, but why not prepare with some additional material second time around? You might have hurried into the test with just 2 weeks after completing your course (most people on an average prepare atleast a couple of months).
Since you have already prepared using PrepCast and use it again to practice questions, then you may already know answers to the questions you have encountered subconsciously and this might not give you a true understanding of how thorough you are with the PMP content.
If you get a fresh set of different questions to practice, that variety might help cover gaps in your knowledge too. If you don't want to spend too much money, try some good quality PMP prep tests on Udemy (try these: Udemy Practice Tests #1 (3 full length tests with 600 questions by a registered PMI Rep), Udemy Practice Test #2 (500 questions of which 300 are on specific topics and 200 are featured in one full-length Test, by a popular PMP author) - you can get 1000 questions to practice with in about $20 since these are right now on promos. There are many more PMP prep test you can find on Udemy at discounted rates.
Alternately, if you are ok spending a little extra, you can purchase Andy Crowe's All-in-One Exam Prep Kit (it's currently on significant discount at $117 - It contains the book The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try; a flash card App and a laminated quick reference guide plus a trial version subscription to the PMP course in InSite (the top PMP e-learning site and downloadable audio CDs and hundreds of practice questions ).
Either way before you give your next attempt make sure you:
If you are consistently scoring around the 75% mark across the tests from 3 different prep test providers, it shows you have a good understanding of the topics and that you're most likely ready for the exam. The reason I mention 3 providers is to remove any inherent bias a given content provider might have towards certain types of questions or to eliminate the possibility that the tests by any given provider is too easy (or too hard) that in turn may create a false impression of your readiness.
Also make sure you take the pre-test in an environment exactly similar to the exam (that means no pausing and you have to take the exam in one go) - this way you'll get really comfortable with sitting for 4 hours and taking the test.
On your final exam day, you should be in a position to simply walk in and give the test confidently just like any of the other 7-8 full length prep tests you gave in the weeks you were preparing (easier said that done, but practicing really helps here).
All the best for clearing the PMP in your next attempt!
Thanks! The boot camp is conducted by my company, but the instructor stuck very close to the source material which was based on Andy Crowe's book. The closest thing to what I took that I can find online is described here: https://chattanoogapmi.org/prep-classes/pmp-exam-preparation-class I doubt I would have been willing to shell out the $1k. You could buy the book on Amazon, which comes with the 7 day trial of the e-learning, then buy the PM Prepcast exam simulator for a combined ~$200. You'd be missing out on the slides and the workbook from the class, but I think you could compensate with the e-learning and maybe the courses from Udemy that are well received on this subreddit. I'm a serial procrastinator so the boot camp's most important value add for me was forcing me to sit down and tackle this stuff and allowing me the time to do so.
