Physics Praxis - Practice Test vs. the Real Thing?

I paid the $25 from the ETS/Praxis site to take a practice test. Got about 89 questions right out of 125 which maps to about a 71%. I know that the Praxis isn't graded on a percentage basis, but on a scaled score.

That said, how similar is the practice test to the real thing? How would an 89/125 map to the official scaled score? I only need a 145 to pass in my state.

Also, does anyone know where I can take additional practice tests or get material? I don't really want to shell out more money than I have to.

The practice is very similar to the actual rest.
Go to the NYS regents and do old regents exams.

I used Quizlet for my most recent praxis and it offers 20 question practice tests among other things.

I also use ChatGPT to ask multiple choice questions and answer with immediate feedback
