Failed Series 79 - Got 80% and higher on STC Practice exams. Whats going on?

I've taken the Series 79 Exam twice and received 69% both times. After retaking the STC practice exams before my last try I was getting above 80% on the STC practice exams. I guess my score was skewed due to taking the same tests twice.

Aside from buying a different test package. i've purchased the STC "Progress Exams" which gives a fresh set of 2 tests and 4 quizes. Any suggestions on how to study? I'm going through each chapter of the STC book summarizing each section.
