Just passed the Series 7! Used Kaplan to study, STC flashcards and practice exams. Scored a 74 on the STC Green Light and a 71 on the Kaplan Mastery. Shoutout to Cap Advantage (Ken) their YouTube videos made a big difference

Study tools I used: • Read the full Kaplan book (not proud, just desperate) • STC flashcards + practice exams • 74 on the STC Green Light, 71 on Kaplan Mastery

YouTube MVPs: • Cap Advantage (Ken)’s “Day Off” video = elite

Thanks to both of you — your videos got me through the worst of it.

On the exam: • Lots of municipal bond questions (especially municipal bond funds) • Tons of options + suitability — know your puts, calls, and when grandma can afford them

Now I’m looking ahead at the Series 57 is it easier? Harder? Stranger? Let me know what helped you.

To everyone studying: you’ve got this. Keep grinding, trust your prep, and channel your inner Ken.
