Am I ready, detailed test scores

I appologize for any formatting errors on my tables in advance!

I am looking for advice to see if I am ready for the exam. I have been studying since mid January 2014. I read head first once and Rita twice, also referenced it many times. I have struggled reading PMBOK because it is boring, however I have read through once.

I go over every question after my tests and write down the areas I need to revisit. I reference them and make an effort to learn the areas I am lacking in and go over terms I am unsure of.

I am still brushing up on my EV for questions that require multiple calculations.

I feel like PMStudy is the highest qualtiy test I hvae taken so far, I am considering purchasing the other 3 and taking them.

My exam is scheduled for 3/31/14 and I have taken off one weekday next week to study. Overall I have 5.5 total days off work before my exam to focus on my weak areas and a few hours after work each day I am working and will have time to take scordo 14,15,17,18.

These are my test scores so far, I took the first test the day I finished Rita for the first time and have been filling gaps ever since. Some of the tests I was not very focused for and it shows in the scores. How do these tests compare to the real exam, specifically Scordo 13-18, Rita Fast Track, PM-Exam Simulator, and PMStudy?

2/8  Rita  Fast track         200Q68%
2/13 Scordo 13                50Q 52%
2/17 Oliver 75                75Q Was not very focused
2/19 Flitcher free            30Q 53%
2/20 Scordo 9                 50Q 70%
2/22 Scordo 8                 51Q 75%
2/22 Headfirst                200Q 76% was not very focused felt easy, could have done better

3/12 Scordo 8                 50Q 76%
3/16 PMStudy 1                Q 175Q 73.14 and actual 200Q 75%

Time                 9Q 77%

You are scoring well in easy tests, so I think you need more practice. Try to read again or take more mock tests.

I took the suggestions and read the areas I have been having trouble with to fill those gaps. I also took two additonal mock tests Scordo 17, and Oliver 175 and went over all answers. I felt the Oliver test was very difficult and I saw a few terms and theories that I did not see in any other mocks (burn rate?), or Ritas book/PmBok and marked 2 questions wrong accidentally.

I am working with the 100 math questions that cornelius flitcher has avaialable with his package and it is helping with the math, but again it looks like there is some math that is proablly not required for the exam.

Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do for the next 8 days leading up to my exam? Should I just focus on reading or take more mocks, or maybe some of both?

Scordo 17 - 78%

Oliver 175 - 72%
