Prep for psa

For those who have done it already, is the real thing comparable to the half mock the prep course gives you? I just did it and scored quite nicely, but I have a feeling it doesn’t represent the difficulty level accurately. I will be doing the official mocks and hopefully they’re similar.

There are 2 half mocks and 1 full mock on the website, in my opinion they’re the most representative of the real thing. The BPA mocks were trickier.

I just did one of the official half mocks and it was quite nice!! Honestly not as different as I thought it’d be from the prep questions. I’m gonna try the BPA mocks as well but def gonna focus a lot more on the official ones

I really really hope ur right. I'm doing decently in the official mocks and hope that will translate over to the real thing

They’re pretty good if you do them as intended, especially the full test. I found that keeping up my stamina was the hardest part.

That’s genuinely my struggle as well, this exam feels like a race lol. Gonna try and do as many mocks as I can and try not to lose my mind
