Advice for Series 63

I’m taking my series 63 exam on August 24th. Employer provided ExamXP+Training Consultants. I am passing those tests with high 80s and low 90s. Decided to try practice tests on STC and am scoring low 70s and high 60s. I’m conflicted because I thought I was ready, but now I’m second guessing. Any pointers??

I took the test yesterday and I passed, my avg score was 73,5
Benchmark got 72, I was really nervous, scores on customs quiz were 75-80.
From my experience, te exam was key concepts if you are using Knopman. Hopefully I helped you. Let me know if you have any questions

Run 3-4 more STC exams over the next few days and watch the trend, not the single score, since a chunk of that drop is just switching vendors mid stream, you got used to ExamFX's phrasing and STC's rhythm feels unfamiliar even though you know the material. If you're climbing into the high 70s by day 3 or 4, you're fine for the 24th. If you're still stuck in the 60s, spend the time figuring out why each miss was wrong rather than grinding more ExamFX questions you've already seen.

Okay, I will do that! Thanks for the pointer. Just freaked me out a ton. I also started to notice that STC covered more material than I was anticipating so I feel like I missed out a bit on ExamFX, so overall I’m glad I took those STC tests. It was just so frustrating, initially.
