I answered over 1000 MCQ’s with Roger and overall trended around 75%. Towards the end, my groups of 30 MCQ’s were trending around 86%. I’m now answering with Ninja and it’s absolutely killing my confidence as I’m trending in the 60% range! My test is 2 days away, so that sucks! What’s the deal the NINJA MCQ’s? Can someone provide some assurance here?! I get it, the harder the better but jeez, what the heck?

First time I took AUD was trending like 78% on 25 mc sets- scored a 73 on actual using gleim and thought no way would I have failed
2nd time thought I was close so why shell out more money for another test bank- bad idea, another 73
3rd time I bought ninja and was in the same boat as you was getting punched in the mouth getting like 65% or so, but did all the questions and wrote down nuggets of everything I missed- ditched lectures, but used that time to practice sims- scored 87 on actual

I was stubborn and hated sims and thought I will just ace MC and if I get a sim I know that's gravy- didn't work out so well for me. Just take your beatings and write down everything you miss. In hindsight its a good thing you are missing problems because those are points that could mean another month or so of studying and more testing fees. the night before and morning of I would just read again and again my notebook full of the questions I missed that I had written down. Goodluck!

Better to get slapped 2 days before your exam than on exam day 🙂

I'll take it Jeff. I gotta admit, I went into Ninja thinking that the test banks would be easy. WRONG! (hey, just like my answers on the quizzes). I like the value that Ninja provides for sure. Duly noted Jeff, duly noted… 🙂

Sometimes you just are memorizing regurgitated questions when you’ve gone over the same ones in your study materials no matter which one you use. Switching it up could help. Always add 5-10pts to your actual score compared to your practice exam. Seems to be around how much better you do since you go over the questions you missed and do some last minute cramming of your weaker areas. Still have enough time to boost tour score 10-15pts if you cram hard. Good luck.

I found Roger's test bank to be too easy and not enough nuance to really help you learn. Ninja is definitely harder which is good and has been the reason I now have three tests down. For all three (AUD, FAR, BEC) I was never trending @ 75%. I believe I was always high 60's low 70's, but came away with scores of 80+
