    Hello. Curious how anyone with Wiley did on practice exams vs actual scores. So far I made a 70 and 73 on A and B practice exams. I made mid 60s on FAR practice and made 83 on actual. However, my AUD practice scores were pretty close to my actual.

    Only have taken FAR so far.

    55 Mock exam
    77 Actual

    The Mock exams are way harder than the real thing imo

    Seemed to be on FAR for sure. The grading is different as well. I'd say I probably had somewhere around 65% correct on the actual FAR exam.

    FAR
    Practice Exam A: 74
    Practice Exam B: 78
    Actual: 91

    REG
    Practice Exam A: 78
    Practice Exam B: 73
    Actual: 89

    In my opinion, Wiley practice exams are more difficult than the real thing, at least for FAR and REG. I'm currently studying for AUD and just got a 77 on my first practice exam. I will take the actual exam on Saturday so I'm hoping this trend continues.

    REG - 89 (June 2019)

    FAR - 91 (July 2019)

    AUD - 91 (August 2019)

    BEC - 90 (October 2019)

    That's encouraging. Sounds like you'll be good on AUD.

    Yeah I agree with all the above. For AUD my practice exams were in the low 60s. Got a 77 on the actual.

    Seems to be a trend of 10+ point difference in this sample. I really hope that's the case.

    I found the FAR mock exams to be much more difficult than the actual. FAR practice 69 and 75, 88 on the actual. AUD practice was a 78, 79 on the actual.

    That was very similar to my experience. Evidently AUD practice is a closer representation of actuals.
