Taking the SIE tomorrow. On the 3 diagnostic/benchmark exams I scored mid 70s to low 80s with an upward trend. Am I good to pass my exam tomorrow or should I maybe consider pushing it back until I'm scoring a bit higher? Knopman says that 99.2% of people who pass the benchmark pass the final exam but I just wanna make sure Im prepared.

How far out are you from your start date? Like if you fail and need to wait the 30 days, will it fuck you with training starting / not taking the other exams on time?
That score should be good enough, Knopman is pretty equal or a bit harder, but if you're within the 30 days I would just push it back like 3-4 days and be nailing the practice exams to be 100% confident because you really want to avoid messing up the timing of your next exams
Yeah failing this would mess up my timeline. I'm just a little stressed out, but also want to get this exam over with so I can focus on new ones. I feel conflicted.
Is there any reason you can't take it like M/Tu? I do think you will likely pass but would suck to get like a 67% and be fucked for the harder series 79. I'd push if your place has appts and study a bit over the weekend to get to that completely confident, I will definitely pass level
KM Exams are way harder (for me at least and some of my peers - can't speak for everyone). I was averaging around the similar range you were and passed the SIE in one go. You should be in good shape to pass. Good luck!
Practices meant to be much harder but you're scoring in a good range. You should be able to pass.
