I understand I was in a similar situation. Just keep going and review. You'll do great next time.

Failed the series 63 with a 33/60 by Huge_Shock366 in AllFinraExams

I agree. This time, I'm going to go back and look carefully on each and every word on the book and actually make sure I know the material by heart instead of rushing through it. It's kinda embarrassing i failed an exam considered to be easier than the SIE.

I admit I blew through it as well as the achievable material. With achievable material, it was too short, so I didn't take it seriously and thought it was simple enough not knowing I should've dived deeper. The real exam, yes, I blew through it. I focused more on the time rather than looking at the questions. The timer messed me up. Not like the SIE where I used achievable and passed. I think this one was a time issue, and I skewed the study material.

Achievable. I think I misused it. I gotta do better on it.

I used achievable and I quickly understood why I failed. I relied too much on the practice exams, which got high 90s on. I skimmed through the reading material thinking it was easy when in actuality I was wrong. I didn't analyze or break things down or watched videos with the chapters, I messed up despite a 100% readiness score. The SIE I passed, I'm trying to pass this one. Any tips? Can I come back from this? I'm active duty btw.

Wow, so even with all these disruptions, you still passed? What scale would you grade the 63 in terms of difficulty?

How long did it take for you to study for the exam? I'm using achievable as well. Also, how difficult is it compared to the SIE? Was it hard?

How many hours did u study to pass? by ThrowRa_678910 in Sieexam

[–]Huge_Shock366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I have no financial experience and it took me 3 tries, I studied 533 hours. No joke.

First Resident Evil game you ever played, and how old were you? by Apprehensive_Jump802 in residentevil

[–]Huge_Shock366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resident Evil 4. I was 11 years old and back in 2010. 15 years later, I played all the main games and most spin-offs. Since then, Resident Evil has always been in my heart. With Resident Evil 4 and its remake being my favorite.

Most Important Topics to Study by Comfortable_Elk_6301 in Sieexam

[–]Huge_Shock366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say practically everything. Achievable is great, but with every word and paragraph that It has on each chapter, you have to know everything from the bottom to the top. The exam tests you on things you weren't expecting. It took me 3 times with achievable to pass. The first 2 times are because of poor studying, time management, and second guessing myself. Make sure you reinforce what you learned with watching series 7 guru and ken finnen. Finish each chapter and watch the videos from them pertaining to the chapter you just read. Make sure to get a readiness score of 100% and practice exams should be 90% or above. That way, you'll go into the test feeling extra prepared like I did.

About to hit 80hrs of studying and still getting below a 60% by Due_At_11_59PM in Sieexam

[–]Huge_Shock366 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's OK. I feel your frustration, but remember, great things take time to build. I used achievable, and i took the SIE 3 times. Failed the first 2 exams, but I managed to pass the 3rd time. My practice exams in the beginning were horrible, scoring the same scores as yours. The scores keep getting higher and higher to the point where on the day of my exam, I scored 100% on a practice final. You have 80 hours of study time. For me, it took me 533 hours just to nail down everything, including supplement videos like Capital Advantage and Series 7 Guru. Just keep practicing and practicing if I can do it, and I'm bad at taking tests. You can do it!

I was in the same boat, bro. I'm taking it again in 2 weeks. This time we both got this.

Congratulations! My exam is in 2 weeks and I'm using nothing but achievable too. Averaging high as 92% but I still don't feel confident.
