Using Practice Tests Wisely to Predict Readiness

Treat practice exams as diagnostic tools, not just scores.

October 12, 2024

Simulate the Real Thing

Take practice tests in a quiet place without notes, using a timer. This builds stamina and shows how you perform under pressure. Avoid pausing the test to look things up.

Review Thoroughly

After each test, spend at least as much time reviewing as you did testing. Read the explanations for both missed and correct answers. Identify whether errors came from lack of knowledge or from poor test-taking habits.

Interpret Scores Carefully

Consistent scores of 75 to 80 percent or higher on a quality question bank are a good sign. A single high score may reflect memorized questions. Mix new questions and varied topics to get a real picture.
