Default Thoughts on accuracy of home tests?

Hello all! I am a 22 y/o female, 5'3, 112 pounds, about to take a pee test next week. If I take it on monday, it will be 17 days since the last time I smoked. I smoked off bowls and joints every day for about 2 weeks before quitting (had no idea they were going to spring this test on me). Before those 2 weeks I only smoked small amounts casually, maybe once every 2 or three weeks. On May 2nd, about 4 DAYS after I had quit, I took a home test, First Check I believe, not on my first morning stream, and it came back NEGATIVE with a somewhat faint line. My question is, what is your opinion on the accuracy of these tests? I have read a few threads where people have said they have passed the home test but failed the real test. I was also wondering if anyone had any recommendations for tests to buy as I plan on taking a different home test closer to the day of the real thing to use on my first morning pee. My third and final question is, do these home tests have a shelf life? I have a hard time believing I passed within 4 days.Thank you in advance for any advice.

Home tests, like all other immunoassay (strip) tests, are about 99% accurate. That's why a positive result on an official test is confirmed by GC/MS testing, which is 100% accurate.
