My advice...remember that those tests are harder and 75% is good enough to help you pass. I was always told that if you could get above 60% you would most likely pass. Good luck!

I agree with itsmyturn on the scores. Just try to keep the big picture in mind when reading the questions but don't read into them. Go with the information that is given, and usually your first instinct is right.

Keep us posted, Amy. The best thing you can do is try to relax. :)

If you are scoring 75% then you're doing great!!!! I took Kaplan and the instructor told me that as long as you are consistantly scoring 60% or higher that you are 99% guaranteed to pass!!! Good luck to you, just remember to stay calm and don't go in there thinking you're only going to have 75 questions, plan on taking the entire exam and staying the entire 6 hours, that way if it's less then you're good to go but if it's the entire time/amount atleast you expected it and wont be stressed out!!!

I just took mine on Friday (yesterday) so I am still waiting for my results...I pray I passed because this was my second time taking it!!! Well again, good luck to you and just keep studying, you'll do great :wink2:
