Hi Guys, do think there's hope to pass the real exam if your score around 70's on the ASDA papers? How to gauge if you are ready to take/pass the exam?

Thanks!
 
I got 85-90 in each section according to 1998 scale.this is not my correct answers.its just my score but I'm very anxious because I got this score in the second time I did them.its time to cross the fingers🙁

I did well on the 2004 pilot exam with a 356/400. The real exam was tougher, and I would think that my true raw score will be lower than that by a good margin (how much, I don't know honestly though because I haven't got my scores back). If you estimate 5-8 points lower RAW score per section on the old exams, you should have a roughly good estimate of how you will do (RAW score wise) on the real thing. Remember, a passing score is somewhere around 250, so you can miss approximately 37 questions per section to pass overall. If you fail an individual section, your other scores can still bring you up to passing as long as the overall composite score is above the passing level.

Do you mean 75 scaled grade, or 75%. Because if its 75% you're more than golden to pass.

I agree with the mets fan above. 75% is good bc when they scale it it will go up. What I have learned is that while the questions are not the same the topics are. My suggeston has been study the old released exams not just memorize them and find out why the wrong answers are wrong for example, lets says there a question and the answer is fusion. They might have other choices like gemination, concrescence, etc. look up what the others are and learn what the difference. Another eg is a question and the answer is phemphigus, you can almost bet that one of the other choices will have phemphigoid. So look up what phemphigoid is and stat taking notes as you go over the released exams. After a while you will see patterns of these types of questions. Another example the answer is dentinogenis imperfeta I, theres a good chance one of the wrong choices will have amelogenisis imperfect, dentinogenisis imperfect 2, dentin dysplasia, osteogenisis imperecta, etc. Again find out why the right answer is right and look up what the wrong answers are. DOing this you will do very well on the exam.


FYI I only like two baseball teams the Yankees and who ever plays the Mets.
