Your SurePass readiness score

Updated 2026-08-21

The gauge on your dashboard is an estimate of how likely you are to pass, computed from your actual work — never from a feeling, and never generated by AI. Miles can explain your number, but he doesn't invent it.

What moves it

  • Recent accuracy. How you're answering practice questions now counts more than your lifetime average — a strong week moves the gauge.
  • Coverage and spread. Evidence across your exam's domains, not just your favorite one. Twenty-five answers in one domain can't unlock a confident estimate.
  • Mock exam scores. Finished full-length mocks are the strongest signal, with newer mocks weighted more than old ones.
  • Your exam's real pass threshold. The same score means different things on different exams; the gauge is calibrated per exam.

What honestly counts

  • Answers you got right on your own count.
  • Answering after a Level-1 Nudge hint still counts.
  • Revealed answers never count. Using "Show me the answer" marks the question as seen and sends it to your Vault to re-drill — it is never scored, so revealing can never inflate (or deflate) your readiness.
  • Mock answers left blank count as wrong — exactly as the real exam scores them.

Why it starts locked. The gauge needs real evidence before it says anything — that's what the placement test is for. Until there's enough data, an honest system shows you nothing rather than a made-up number.

Readiness is not the guarantee bar. The SurePass Guarantee qualifies on one specific, checkable thing: 80%+ on two different full-length mocks, close to your exam date. See "Am I qualified yet?"
