What were you scoring on Wiley MC (Test Bank questions)? Would you say scoring above 80% on each topic would mean that I am moderately prepared?

Thank you!!

When I was studying for FAR with the Wiley test bank, I couldn't score over a 70%. For whatever reason I kept averaging around a 70% on 30 question testlets. I ended up getting an 80 on the actual exam. Just do your best to study a lot of your weaker topics because if you focus too much on the questions that relate to your stronger sections it won't help you out in the end.

Test bank is the only thing I used. I believe I was scoring around 75% on the TB and finished the exam with an 86.

Yes, I'd say >80% is great if you've done at least a few hundred MCQs. I've found Wiley to be much more difficult, as they like to pick very small details that I haven't found to be the case as often on the actual exams. Here's what I have done so far for comparison:

• AUD: Wiley TB (Avg 72% on 330 MCQs; Avg 70% on 7 Sims; Comb avg 72%); Score = 85
• FAR: Wiley TB (Avg 73% on 408 MCQs; Avg 95% on 18 Sims; Comb avg 80%); Score = 82
• REG: Wiley TB (Avg 65% on 300 MCQs; Avg 61% on 6 Sims; Comb avg 64%); Score = 83

I'd agree with the above comments. On average I was in the 70% range. I did better on some topics and not as well on other topics. I feel I did very well on MCQ, no surprises. I got some tough SIMS though, but passed.

As long as you are understanding why a question is right/wrong, then you are doing well at 80%.
