Hard to say as the official practice exam is a representative sample of what you'll be facing. With IC, either you can fill in the blank or you can't. With a practice/mock exam, you have 5 choices and some of these can trip you up if you jump at the wrong one.
The key is to slow down, eliminate what answers cannot apply and carefully choose between what's left. It would be nice if all of the answers jumped off the page but they don't so don't rush to any conclusions.
GOOD LUCK!!
