Much of the subject matter is included in IC, however I would suggest finding more examples calculating y-intercept, all of the errors, correlation and regression. I felt confident at the 70 mark, but was hit with 10 calculation in a row that left me wondering if I know anything. I even begain questioning whether to use standard deviation for the population or sample. Basically practice, practice, practice using your calculator.
One thing to note, the testing center didn't look at my calculator, which left me wishing I would've bought a better model that would do regression and everything else.
I'll let you know the outcome when it arrives, good luck to those that follow.

Hi Fondue,
Try not to worry about your score too much until you get the actual score report in your hand.
I felt like I got my butt handed to me on a platter by this exam too. I actually burst into tears at one point during the exam. I came home and crawled into bed for a few hours to recuperate. It was by far the hardest exam I have taken so far, and I had a horrible feeling that I might have failed it.
BUT.....my worst fears were unfounded. The 'scale' is our friend on this one. I passed EASILY. Chances are that you will too.
Fingers crossed...for now,
