Practice exam score breakdown

Hi! I’ve finished all the PA content and am now using the practice exams to help focus on areas I need to study more. I wish that the score results would say which Objective each question related to, not just on the summary page. Is there any way to find this? Or a better way I could find the specific questions/topics to study?

Welcome to the Black Spectacles Community, @sedona.quimby! While there is not currently a way to filter specific practice exams questions by objective, it is a great idea! I’ll pass it along to the team so that we can see if it’s something we might want to implement down the road :slight_smile:

In the meantime, I definitely encourage you to utilize the summary page to target specific objectives as it is a great way to get a big picture overview of your performance. Sometimes we tend to go down rabbit holes focusing on the nitty gritty of each individual question (which is beneficial in ways), but it’s also important to understand where to focus your studies in the grand scheme. Every exam form you encounter on the ARE will be different than the next, so try not to get caught up in mastering/memorizing every single topic. Focus on key concepts and applications!
