Series 87 Test vs. STC Materials

Read through the Series 86/87 recent posts and concerned about the disconnect b/w the questions STC provided and the actual test. Just wondering if anyone who took the test recently had any input on how close the STC materials were to the actual test? Were questions from the supplemental exam on the actual test?

I read the book, took all the test - (scores in high 80's). Am I good in shape or some other resource I should exhaust?

Any input/advice is appreciated. Feel free to PM me on this.

 

I took the series 87 today after using the STC materials. There is a COMPLETE disconnect, so bad it's not even funny. I don't mean to scare you, but I was scoring 95-100 on the STC practice exams and eeked by with a 74 in the real exam. None of the questions from my STC materials were on the actual exam, and I'd say that over half the questions were materials that weren't even mentioned in the text. Common sense will get you through though as long as you have a pretty good understanding of the material.
