My son had the same experience with Principles of Finance - did okay on the practice final and got a 53 on the real final. He has since learned that the chapter tests are much more important in terms of studying and preparing for the proctored final.
And to the poster who said they wouldn't feel comfortable if they scored a 75 on the practice final - you only need a 55 on the final to pass most courses on Study.com, and for ones with written assignments, that score is lower - so a 75 on the practice final is more than enough reason to assume one is prepared for the final.
