Just tried the diagnostic test using ExamLab

I just tried it once. I got 27 / 72 or 38%

I'm now worrying because my exam date is near...

How difficult is the real exam compared to ExamLab diagnostic test?

What more suggestions?


Regards

Take a couple of mock exams before you decide on where you stand. The links on my signature below are good sources for mock exams. Good luck

Well, you score is little bit lower than a 'standard' level. You should try to score AT LEAST 35/72 from those ExamLab exams. As an advice, I suggest you to 'learn' from your wrongly answered questions, instead of depending on the correctly answered questions. Wrongly answered questions are always very much important than the correctly answered questions

I have booked my exam on July 8, 2009,

But up to this point, I'm only getting 50% in the diagnostic exam of the examlab and I get < 50% in the Master exam of K&B..

I'm thinking of rescheduling the exam for a month or more....

Any advice?

The examlab is REALLY harder than the real exam.
A week before taking the exam, I was scoring about 50% in examlab, and scored 88% in the real test.

Wow, good to know that, I was really in a panic mode now since, I'm not passing the ExamLab.

Thanks for lighting me up..

Just for comparison. I did all of examlabs stuff and NEVER succeeded. I think this creator is a malicious guy : Just kidding.
And I did good at the exam. The secret I share with you is the following: After you did the exam, I checked EVERY question again and looked at
my errors. After one or two hours I did the same exam again. Of course I succeeded then, because I knew the questions, but I also learnt a lot.

cheers

Ps. Thanks again for the work at examLab. I'd spend a few bugs, but I don trust your paying scheme (I don't know them). Why didn't you use paypal?
