Also kind of side not but have read on this forum that sometimes people won't even pass the knopman marks exams but will still pass the actual exam is that true cause the knopman marks exams are "harder" thoughts on that too would be nice, although maybe that should be another thread, lemme know.

You’ll probably be fine, just read the KM pre test emails
That poles telling me otherwise sadly
Take an extra week or two and get 1000% solid, no reason to take it so close to the edge of passing and potentially fail / run into the mandatory waiting period
I've got about 5 days to the exam as is and my firm gives you the day off the day before the exam to study and review etc. So since I've got the whole day of review and studying along with the previous 4 days. Do you think I still need a week or two? Thinking going over key concepts, emails, and taking short quizzes on pain points? Also thanks for the helps everyone
5 days should be fine, really take as much time as you can in the next few days too. Teams are generally pretty understanding with the exams - be communicative but perfectly fine if you need to go to a conference room and study for a few hours or dip out early with your phone on you to cram.
Just really prioritize it, treat it like your most important final for the next few days instead of chilling and thinking you're good.
I would aim to be north of 80% on the next exam you take. Also read their pre-test email very carefully, couple points right there in the email
Sounds good, thank you for all the help!
