AACN CCRN self assessment exam

Just wondering if anyone has taken the AACN CCRN SAE and the CCRN and how the two compare. I realize the SAE is only 60 questions in comparison to the 150 on the real exam but are the questions pretty comparable in difficulty? I did the SAE and passed with an 83% after listening to the lectures the AACN produced. Im debating if I need to study more or just scheduled a date and take the darn test. I know I am weak in cardiac since we don't really do that at my ICU and as for invasive monitoring we only really use art lines and cvp's...... very rarely even ICP so those were areas I kinda flubbed on.

To answer my own question. I took the CCRN and passed! I know the test is not graded on a percentage but I got 82% so pretty close to the practice test. The questions were pretty similar in format and difficulty.
