Don't get caught up with practice exams. They really don't captured the essence of the questions you will see on the exam.

Good luck. I’ve just been staring at my book for the last four months.

Boot camp is the only way to prep for this imo. Even the EY bootcamps have a 30% pass rate.

Study NIST SP800-30, 53, 82, then NIST CSF and encryption then you should have a chance. Also exam requires thinking not memorizing

I took my sweet time back in 2000, when they were no boot camps widely available ie 1 domain / week. I learnt a lot and passed on the first go. Enjoy the content vs those boot camps.

OP, from which domain you got the questions most ? In new format just curious
