rather than number look for understanding level.
if you say 'B' is the answer for question 2, why ? can you give best explanation for it ?

If you can then number of questions will not matter.

Saurabh - So if a new practicioner or student would ask you for an advise on the number of sample questions to take prior to sitting for an exam, you wouldn't give him an advise?

Do you a rough estimate number?

I will simply say as much as you can.
we cannot be sure if solving 100 questions will guarantee passing or if 1000 questions will.
I will give you my example. I had attempted nearly 350 questions with 75-80% success. However, after that on one exam of just 25 questions I got just 12 questions correct. not even 50%.
You see that why i said, having a best explanation while answering questions should be the measure rather than number of questions.
