it is hard to tell really. build yer confidence. practice more questions, review rationales... when you see that themock tests that you are doing are scoring almost perfec or >90% on all areas, then maybe you are ready.being ready is acase to case basis. It is unique from person to person. you should be able to feel and see it yourself. altho sometimes being nervous about the tests masks our readiness... prepare well before taking it..that is what i am planningto do...hope i nail the test this time:)

best of luck to yah...

For me it was when I reached the point of knowing I had done all I could to prepare for my exam. I don't think I ever really felt "ready", but I knew I had done all I could & there was nothing left to do but take the test. Good luck to you!

I scheduled my exam 8 weeks away, then i studyed my ass off, practising questions every single day. and reviewing things i needed help with. if i did not schedule the exam i would not have been so disciplined and i dont think i was ever going to be ready.......but by the time 8 weeks had come i did feel a little more confidence but when i did the exam i thought the worst.....do what feels right for you. good luck.xx

When you feel you have studied enough, only you alone can know that for sure
