IZ0-808 Study Help

I had some questions as to how you judge whether you are prepared or not for the exam and what would be considered "comfortable" level before taking the exam.

I've been taking the standard tests in the program and have scored as following:
ST: 61% Failed
T1: 65%
T2: 68%
T3: 68%
T4: 74%
T5: 70%
T6: Will be taking tomorrow

Now, before i had been taking practice exams from OCA: Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-808
The practice tests in the book were no where near as informative and challenging as these, so switching to these tests definitely made me focus on studying.

My studying has been as following
Day 1: Take Test - Reread book sections on categories I missed the most questions.
Day 2: Review Test Questions - Evaluate questions i missed, and write out code, until i understand why i missed them.
Day 3-4: repeat process for next test.

The rest of my studying looks like this:
8/12: Take Test 6
8/13: Review Test - Schedule Real Exam
Day before exam - Take Final Day Test
Morning of exam - Review Final Day Questions - Take Exam

I'd like your opinion if my knowledge and studying will be sufficient for the test, or is there anything else i should do before i take the exam? Thanks in advance!

I would have liked to see the dates on which you took the standard tests (to see how much time are you spending in fixing your understand before taking the next test) but I think you are doing fine. If the score that you've mentioned are on your first attempt of these tests (i.e. you haven't seen any of the questions before, which could happen if you attempted Practice tests or Objectivewise tests) then I think you will do fine in the real exam.

Passing marks in first attempt of our tests is a good indicator of your preparation and that is a comfortable level.

You can take the final day test a couple of days before the real exam. This will give you enough time to check out the things that you missed. There is no need to do anything on the day of the exam. Just relax

I passed the exam with an 88%. Your mock tests definitely helped focus on sections i was weak in. Thanks again.
