What does my Exam-Readiness score mean?
Your Exam-Readiness score is a single 0–100 number on the dashboard readiness card that estimates how prepared you are for your knowledge test. It blends three things: your accuracy (how often you answer correctly), your coverage (how much of the question bank you've seen), and your retention (how well Smart Review says you're holding the material).
The readiness bands
- Test-ready — you're performing consistently across the bank; you can schedule your exam with confidence.
- Almost there — close; tighten up your remaining weak areas.
- Building — real progress, but still ground to cover.
- Getting started — early days; keep working the 5-step method.
It's a study aid, not a guarantee or a pass prediction for the real exam. To move it up, widen your coverage, keep your Smart Review retention high, and aim to score 90%+ on Exam Simulation.
