For extra, I only did one section at a time until I got up       over 80% competency, then moved to the next section. Only after hitting 80%       in each section did I start using the complete pool.               MM> I have a friend who just took (and passed, first time) his extra exam        MM> using this app. he said once he had seen 100% of the question pool, his        MM> test scores shot up to around 90%, which is a comfortable range to pass        MM> the actual test.              80% on practice exams is fine. It's feasible that you'll get a bad exam and       fail, but that won't happen twice. I used the 80% mark on all three exams and       passed all three of them on the first try. My son did the same and scored       higher on all three exams than I did.              - Andre, WT9X              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: Runaan BBS (1:154/70)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 123/130 154/0 10 30 40 50 70 700       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/101 200 312 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 1634 1895 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 261/38 280/5003 292/854 313/41 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 331/313 333/808 335/206 364 370 342/200 382/147 2432/390       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 2454/119 3634/12 4500/1       PATH: 154/70 30 10 221/6 335/364 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
