There are so many factors that can affect practice test scores. For one, you don't have the adrenaline rush taking a practice test that you probably will have taking the real thing.

Also, you could get lucky and as you stated get asked about topics you are very strong in.

Can't speak for him, but my actual scores were higher than my practice test scores.
I attribute the difference to a combination of me being more lax when taking practice tests and the adrenaline rush of test day.

One thing's for sure, put your time in to study and learn the material and you will do great!
Especially if with awesome prep materials like CDP and the Destroyers!
Good luck!
