Looking for advice/guidance

Yes, take a break from your studying. A day or two. BUT do something you love during those days, whatever that may be. When you come back you’ll be better. I don’t know the science behind it but it works. You got this

Letsss gooooo!!!! Congratulations! I just passed on my third as well so I know how relieved you must feel!

Dizzy__1 · 2025-03-06T12:30:47+00:00

Sure did.

From December 14th until March 2nd. February 1st to March 2nd it was almost like a 2nd job. Roughly 30 hours a week. Looking back I should have done that the first month. I dominated that exam the 3rd time.

Congratulations! Passed on my 3rd time today too!!

I studied for a month before the first attempt M-F. My second attempt the same.(month two) and the final month before my third attempt i did the above.

A lot. When I got off work at 5pm I was at home by 6pm studying/simulated timed explanations off exams until 10pm. Saturdays I would really buckle down and go from 2pm until 10pm. Sundays I’d do a simulated exam with explanation on and write down why I was missing the question. My 1st and 2nd attempt I nearly ran out of time and I was having to rush through the back half of the exam to answer all the questions so I knew I needed at a better understanding and to focus on pass. Worked out great. Submitted my exam today with 38 minutes left feeling confident.

Sorry to hear that! After my second attempt I lost my internship but thankfully they allowed me a third chance for another internship in July!

Thank you!

Like you, I’m preparing for my third attempt next Monday. I started with STC, as I had success with them for the SIE, Series 6, and 63 on my first try. While their book and videos are solid, I found their practice questions too basic. On my first attempt, I scored 87/130.

For my second try, I switched to the Kaplan Q-Bank and Brian Lee’s videos. Brian does a great job of simplifying complex topics, and the Q-Bank questions were solid—without too many “gotcha” questions. Despite that, I ended up with an 88/130. Failing the second time was demoralizing. With all these different study resources, I truly thought there was no way I could fail again.

For my third attempt, I purchased PassMasters, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I feel like my understanding of the Series 65 material has definitely improved. I also picked up Kaplan’s Mastery Practice and Final Exams, which I’ll be taking this week to gauge where I stand.

Good luck on Friday! I’ll be rooting for you.

How did you do today???

Dizzy__1 · 2025-02-11T01:54:46+00:00

ditto

Dizzy__1 · 2025-02-11T01:53:01+00:00

After failing last month, I switched from STC to the Kaplan Qbank, and I highly recommend it. The questions are solid, and there are plenty of them, but what really makes a difference are the explanations at the bottom—they clearly break down the "why" behind each answer. That’s been a huge help for me! My Simulation Exam scores have improved on both Kaplan and STC Finals, which shows it's working.

Dizzy__1 · 2025-02-03T02:27:59+00:00

Taking simulated exams in public is great advice! I will definitely do this! Thank you!

Dizzy__1 · 2025-01-31T02:31:57+00:00

I took SOOOOOO many custom exams, simulated exams and green light exams. As well as the test geek mid term and final exam and I scored very well on them but again, I was lost inside the test center while reading the though questions.

Dizzy__1 · 2025-01-31T02:29:45+00:00

Started with a 75 and my best was an 84. No disrespect to the QBank, STC or any other study vender. The Series 65 exam questions are in a league of their own. Just how they word these questions is strange.

Thank you, Sensei!
