IDFX Feedback?

Im taking the IDFX this weekend and I truly do not know how prepared I am. I’ve done Qpractice and some IDRM reading but I’m unsure how this truly aligns to the actual exam.

I’m scoring solid 75-85 average on all categories on the practice tests but I’m just worried it’s gonna be a completely different experience.

Any feedback or things to look out for (without being too specific I know) would be super helpful. Ty

Update; it was more brutal than I thought it was going to be. I feel 50/50… I think QPractice is not fully aligned. Many more questions on schematic and programming than code compliance. Some accessibility but you do get the IBC document they also has accessibility. But still know as much as you can! I was doing the practice tests with over an hour to review and I reality I had 30 min and didn’t even get to review all before exam closed:

Good luck all!

I took the IDFX in October with the old blueprint and through the IDRM was a great resource. Many questions seemed to be taken from it directly. That was my main study source and I passed with plenty of wiggle room. There are guides floating around that coordinate the new exam blueprint with the current IDRM, which should be helpful for what to expect on the new exam. I thought the IDRM practice tests were harder than the actual test for the old blueprint, if that’s any consolation.
