That's a nice score for a first attempt. Take the other two practice tests and if you can keep it at that level I'd attempt the real thing. Make sure to review the ones you miss; it can only help you out in the end.
Good luck!

Based on probability of you, for one asking if its enough and the fact you have so many you already passed and did well.
NO.
Now the real question, do you really feel it?
You know what I mean.
However , If you can get those numbers on all 3 practice tests you do have a good chance though.
Good luck.

The Peterson's practice MIS is much harder than the real thing. My Peterson's scores were 77%, 72% and 71% and you can see how that compares to my actual test score. As an aside, I would not feel comfortable going into any exam with a ~60% on a practice test, but that's probably more than enough to pass this particular test. IC flashcards seemed pretty good for this one from the couple sets I went through.

My litmus test has always been 65%. I know that has no statistical validity since one is scoring and the other percentages, but it's never done me wrong. There are some like MIS and Biology that it's probably overkill, but I'd rather be over than under.
Sooner or later I'm going to put together a chart of people's practice scores and actual scores and see if we can come up with some sort of correlation between the two. I think with enough samples, we could determine a rough "probably-pass" score on practice tests. At the very least it would help people's confidence walking in.
One more thing on the to-do list.

One more thing on the to-do list. I've been thinking of this myself. That's why I always list my Petersons/other test results in the feedback thread.
