No! Most missed test contains questions that are answered wrong most often. So it is normal to score less on it. 53% is actually very good. You should try one of the Standard Tests and see how you score. If you score 53% on those, then you should be freaking out
You might want to check out the score comparison between Standard Test and the real exam given here: http://enthuware.com/index.php/jq-v6-score-comparison
HTH,

the question in exam are much easier than you find in various mock tests. My advice go through the "self-test" questions given at the end of Kathy Sierra.
And you are good to go

Hey ohimai,
I passed the exam last week and was freaking out because I was averaging 60% on the mock exams that came with Kathy Sierra's book.
However, I got 83% on the real exam!
I think I found the real exam easier because they tell you how many answers to choose, which the mock exams didn't, and the questions are shorter.

Of course, I still had to study A LOT to succeed.

Good luck to you.

To my experience, don't get stressed out with what scores you get in any mock exam.
During the real exam, focus on answering the questions and do the best you can.

The day before the exam, review KB's self-tests will help.

If you still have time before the exam, do some practice exams from KB. These 4 practice exams will help.
