I just completed the 2nd Peterson's test and scored 59%.
REA is excellent. Be sure to read the answer's explanation- that is the thing that REA does that separates them from the other exam study books.
Here are my two cents:
You need a certain amount of knowledge to get the the minimum line. You're there already, you probably didn't need REA for that. But then there is the push up and over the minimum line to get you enough knowledge that you can handle a variety of questions from the test bank. Remember, they shuffle those babies, so if you have one dark spot where you know nothing- and randomly get a handful of THOSE, you might not pass. OTOH, if you happen to get a handful from an area you are well-acquainted with, you'll walk away saying the exam was a piece of cake. That is where you should focus, beins sure you are at least on the other end of passing. You can't retake your same practice tests for reliable/valid testing results (because those are not the actual questions) but you can use them for study.
Now, beyond that, you're throwing darts blindly. Everything else comes from everything else, so your return on investment is a complete waste of time. You're trying to learn minutiae at that point, and hoping that by some miracle, those are the facts you'll be asked. So, in a nutshell, I think you're just over the line of readiness. I'd suggest you attempt the exam.
*edit* you could always read through REA before testing. I don't mean to suggest you should test before you feel ready, I just wanted to emphasize aiming for a top score could take months.
