How the readiness score works

A completion percentage tells you how much content you watched. It does not tell you whether you can pass. Our readiness score is built on evidence of what you actually understand.

The five signals

Weights are renormalized over the signals available for your track, so they always sum to 100%.

Knowledge mastery

40%

Your accuracy on practice questions, weighted the way the real exam weights each domain. This is the core signal: can you answer exam-style questions correctly?

Blueprint coverage

18%

How much of the exam blueprint you've actually practiced. A high score on two domains isn't readiness if you haven't touched the other four.

Domain consistency

17%

How even your performance is across domains. One fatal weak spot can fail you even if your average looks fine, so we penalize it.

Practice recency

15%

Whether you've practiced recently. Knowledge fades; recent, active recall is a better readiness signal than something you studied a month ago.

Hands-on application

~10%

For tracks with labs or missions, whether you've applied the concepts, not just recognized them. Included only where a track has hands-on work.

What each level means

0-39% BeginningYou're early. Focus on learning the fundamentals of your weakest domains.
40-59% DevelopingFoundations are forming. Keep practicing weak areas and build coverage.
60-74% Approaching readinessClose. Tighten your weakest domain and add mock exams.
75-84% Likely readyStrong. A focused final review and you should be exam-ready.
85-100% Strongly preparedThe evidence says you're ready. Schedule the exam with confidence.
The score also explains itself: when it moves, we tell you why. For example, “your readiness rose from 66% to 69% because you completed the IAM objective and scored 84% on its review quiz.”
