Barkley DRTs and Boards

[tussah10]

I am studying for my PNP boards and have taken 2 of the Barkley DRT exams in the past week. I was wondering who else took them and what kind of scores you were getting on them before passing the boards. The DRTs have anything over 60% as passing, but I heard you have to get 70-76% right to pass the boards. Did you find the DRTs more difficult or comparable to the board test? I'm trying to decide when to take them and how much more studying I need. Thanks!

For me DRTs were more helpful for: 1). Knowing where to focus my studies based on content area and 2). the detail of the rationales. I scored anywhere from 74-78 on a couple the last one I took before boards I scored an 80 which was supposed to be representative of "mastery."
