Are you using any kind of practice exams? If so, how are you doing on those ahead of the actual exam? In my experience with certification tests (and I have a few, including A+, Network+, Security+, SCJP, AWS Certified Solution Architect, etc.) the practice questions are usually easier than the real exam. I like to study and practice until I can basically score 100% (or very close) on the practice exams, multiple times. Only then will I go sit for the real exam.
Just to illustrate, when I took that AWS exam about 2 years ago, even studying to that level, the actual exam felt hard. I was honestly unsure if I'd passed or not, right up until the moment I clicked the "submit" button. It turns out I did pass comfortably, but if I'd slacked off on my studying at all, compared to what I actually did, I would likely have failed.
So yeah... my take is, make sure you have access to some quality practice tests (lots of certifications have plenty of practice exams on Udemy), take them over and over again, and don't go for the real test until the practice tests are downright easy. If you do that and still fail... erm, I dunno. Maybe visit a doctor and see if you have an underlying medical condition like ADHD or something else that could affect your test taking?
