53% on Marcus Green probably a little too low. Getting comfortable with KB may not be a good indication of the readiness to take the real exam. However, if you are comfortable with KB's mock exam 1 and 2 and scoring around 80% for both of them then i guess you are good. Marcus Green 1,2,3 exams are good exams but I felt like the real one are harder on inner class and thread topics. For inner class I suggest you to take on Dan's and thread topic you should concetrate on KB's if you do not have that much time.

good luck..

Thanks a bunch.

I will follow your instructions and can you please provide me links if any for KB's exams 1 & 2... as am aware of only KB's master exam.

The K&B MasterExam contains two different sets of mock questions. Well, actually the second set needs to be downloaded from the URL link given on the CD. See this thread if you've problem finding the link.
