NINJA Question –

Does anyone know if the practice exam pulls questions that are “trouble” ones too (like in the review part) or is it just random questions? I ask because I have a trending score of about 83% but I can’t score higher than 68% on the practice exams. My exam is Saturday and I think I need to postpone it.

I don't know what material you are using, but the practice exams are supposed to be comprehensive of all the material, not just your weak areas. I always scored lower on the practice exams than I did when quizzing by section. Don't use that as a reason to postpone your exam. This is one of the reasons that many choose not to take the practice exams…it's a confidence killer.

The poster is referring to NINJA MCQ.

It doesn't pull questions according to your Trending Score, but rather the entire pool of questions, based on CSO weight.

What is CSO weight?

That's really smart that you made your MCQ program match up with the CSOs, Jeff– I don't think Wiley does. It sounds like you thought of everything!

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

Thanks, guys! BTW, I like the Ninja practice exams way better than the Wiley and Fast Forward Academy practice exams. I hope that my practice exam score is indicative of my real score. I have taken one Ninja REG exam and scored a 92%.

How many practice exams are included in Ninja MCQ's?

Are the practice exams made up of ALL NEW MCQ's that you have NOT seen in other practice sessions?

Wiley's practice exam includes questions that you've seen before because it pulls from the same pool of questions whether you're practicing random topics or doing an actual practice exam.

I like the way Becker creates practice exams of ALL new questions that were NOT included in the homework practice.

Does NINJA do that?

FAR - 86 - 2/27/14
AUD - 75 - 5/29/14
BEC - 80 - 8/31/14
REG - 89 - 2/27/15
Praise Jesus! I'm done!!

Hi Tux – you get unlimited practice exams with ninja. The questions, however pull from the same database as the other questions. REG has 1,773 questions for instance, and the same questions are in the practice exams that are in the regular MCQ sessions. Most people don't get through all if the questions anyway, so it's not really an issue.
