Hi Shwetha
It depends on what mock exams that you have taken. I mean, from which site or sites or books/CDs or from what other sources. If you list them, then someone can give you an idea about how much more you need to study. However, my general advice for you is: Study some more weeks and take as many (more and variety of) mock exams as you can find on the net, if your voucher is not going to expire soon.
Good luck,
Regards,
Mallesham

Hi Swetha,

I suggest buying a exam simulator to get the best real exam experience. On the net there are *many* mock exams ranging from very difficult to very easy. Some of them are useful and others are pretty useless and stupid.

If you have the funds, I suggest JQ+. If you do more the 60 on that exam, you'll surely pass the real thing. I used it, was getting 70 - 85, and got 85 on the real exam.

If you have further questions, just ask ;-)

Regards,
Ice

I get that there exists variance among the difficulty level of the many mock exams available and this is probably what you are experiencing, but...

Maybe this is stating the obvious but have you noticed any trends in subject areas that are bringing down your score? Maybe those tests you have scored lower on are hitting your "weak" areas harder?

I'm not knocking you at all, just mentioning a possibility.

Good luck whenever you decide to take the test.
