Series 7 - Advise

I have been studying from Kaplan, there is a lot of information in the book, so I have been trying to memorize the most important ideas from it. I have been taking the Simulated Exams, which consists of 125 questions from the QBank.

Is it a good representation of what I will see in the exam?

I have taken 4 different Simulated Exams; 68%, 74.4%, 75.2%, and 73.6% this morning.

What are my chances, and is this score actually reflective of how I will do in the actual exam? (I am looking for people who have done Kaplan as well).

Thank you
