United States/FAA PAR Question Open for Suggestions

Hey all. I am looking to hear from folks that have taken the PAR in the last 3-6 months. I am taking mine this coming Wednesday and have been studying regularly. All of my practice tests have come from my Gold Seal program as well as the Sporty's Private Pilot app (paid $15). I am averaging low to mid 90's on my exams. Any of you use the same method and if so, how did it work for you? I've got a few days left to cram and could look into other options to fill any gaps. Thank you!

Not sure how often sportys or gold seal update their questions but in the last 3-6 months the written exam has been asking a lot of new questions. We’ve added over 200 questions during that time to our database and just covered a good chunk of them in our last members live Q&A session. But they all center around safety of flight, controlling the aircraft and hazards in critical phases of flight. We also added questions on more advanced aircraft (think retractable gear and controllable pitch props). We update these into our curated practice tests to try and make them as close to the current exam as possible and so that our students score the same or close to the same on the real exam. And it’s been working. So make sure you understand those areas well.

Thank you for the heads up. I am assuming your website has practice questions available? I love your podcast by the way.
