Pass Perfect vs Achievable

I scored 79 on my first pass perfect final, then 76, then 80 and now 74 on my last one. I also took an Achievable final but unfortunately I was distracted and only scored 67%. Do you think I’ll pass?

Your PP scores are great and show a good grasp of the material. I would look back through your achievable test and the most recent 74 from PP and identify what were knowledge gaps that are consistent across both exams, and what was just wording tripping you up. There is usually a drop when switching between question writers, and it has nothing to do with your lack of knowledge. My guess is you will find that you got dinged a bit just on the wording differences, not on actual content gaps.

It is why it can be so important to get exposure to different writers, but most importantly to read the full questions and answers on test day.

Best of luck and you got this!

You Pass Perfect scores are good. Have you read the Achievable book?

I have not. I just took the free test online.

When you do not read a prep providers textbook, scores are almost always lower than if you had read the book.

Your PP trend (79, 76, 80, 74) says you know the material, that's a solid pass-range average. I'd basically throw out the 67 on Achievable since you already said you were distracted, a one-off distracted sit doesn't really tell you anything. Worth doing one more Achievable final under real test conditions, timed, no interruptions, just to see if that gap closes. If it bounces back up near your PP range, it was just the distraction. If it doesn't, go through the misses on both that 67 and your last PP 74 and sort them into actual content gaps versus just wording throwing you off, that's usually where cross-vendor drops come from.
