Default First Practice Exam

So, I just took my first attempt at a practice exam, and got 81.25% of the questions I answered right. Unfortunately, I only was able to answer 16 out of the 35. I'm getting there though.

do you think the actex practice tests are "good" (use your definition of "good")?

Well, they cover the material fairly well, I think. That, and there are a lot of them (10, making 350 questions), and I find working problems one of the most efficient ways for me to prepare for the exams. So, yeah, I'd say that by my definition, they are good.

Seeing as this is my first time taking Exam C, and this was the first practice exam that I've taken, I don't think I am really in a good position to give an answer. I did find the Actex practice exams very useful for Exam M, though. They seemed to be very similar to exam questions.

I'd be interested in knowing that as well. I may have too many already though. I have Mahler's exams, ASM's exams, and the BPP Question/Answer bank. I probably have more stuff than I do time.
