I just took my first full length Wiley Practice Exam for FAR. My exam is on the 27th, so I felt it would be valuable to take a full length exam for timing purposes and to get a general idea of what kind of score I was looking at with my current preparation.
I scored an 80 overall, with 72/90 MCQ and 5/7 Sims. Full score reports here...

Honestly I thought this wasn't super challenging. Some of the questions were obvious; simple conceptual things any Accounting major would know. Others I was clueless about, to the point that it wasn't worth taking a second look at; just guess and move on. I blew through the MCQ section with 1hr 54mins remaining. The sims didn't eat much time either, as I finished the entire exam with 1hr 30mins to spare. Seeing how much extra time I finished with, I realize that I should try to take my time and make sure I'm reading the questions carefully so I'm not missing easy points.
Can anyone advise where an 80 stands in conversion to an actual CPA Exam score? I understand it's just a rough ballpark kind of thing, but any advice would be fantastic since I'm a week out from the actual exam.
As an aside, it looks like the Wiley doesn't do partial credit on sims. I see that it gave me a clean 5/7, one of which was a sim where I got a couple cells right but got the ultimate answer wrong. I don't know if this is a big deal or unknown to the community as a whole, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Thanks in advance!
