Knopman scores to pass Series 79

Test is next week, been studying from KnopmanMarks. Been taking a lot of practice exams and have been averaging between 75%-82% on 85 question exams.

I’ve seen comments on how Knopman’s tests are harder than the actual exam and that people with 60%+ typically pass, is that true? Based on my recent exam scores, how am I looking to pass the exam first try?

Knopman tests aren’t actually harder in a sense that the wording on the actual test is weird and confusing. I passed the 79 and got a 80 on the benchmark - to me 79 was easier than SIE, 8-10 easy math questions cashflow, dividend calc, multiples calc. and alot of things are focused on exempt transaction and m&a and stuff regarding stock transaction vs all cash, pipes, reg d, 13d and fs etc.
