This is the perfect test for practicing. It goes beyond the regular tests by
making your question what you know or think is right. If you can fail this
test with absolute confidence then you are ready for the real thing.

I did the same thing of my BSCN test, and had similar results. But I ended
up scoring well over 900 on the actual test. I basically use the Colt tests
to get me used to the Cisco way of asking questions (phrasing, etc.). Prior
to that, I use something like Boson to make sure I have hit the right topics
in my studies and to point out gaps in my knowledge.
