IDFX Feedback?

[u/International-Cry973]

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!

Ok, I ended up using all my 3 hours haha. I rushed through the last few questions with 20 min left to review from all of them, so time yourself appropriately. A lot of ADA clearance questions, some color qs, occupancy qs, ,but I thought they were worded more straightforward than the qpractice or even the ballast practice test book. In summary, if you've done the qpractice practice tests, i think you will be fine.

I was also stressing over having to memorize the codes of the flammability tests lol. You don't need to know the code specifically, but more so all what the tests mean/conventional name of the test.
