I'm taking the Series 79 exam soon. I have the STC training materials and I'm scoring in the 70's and low 80's on the practice exams. I'm worried about the differences on the STC practice test and the real questions on the exam. Can somebody tell me how different are the questions in the actual exam?

I found the actual to be much tougher. Knopman >>> STC.
Can you give me a little bit more details on how they differ.
Knopman was much more indepth and covered the right topics. I thought STC (borrowed from co-worker) did a poor job of focusing on several key points.
Thanks. If you can give me any more info on the exam or any tips I will appreciate it.
