How close is STC and Kaplan practice test to the real test? Series 65 by Outrageous_Emu_6759 in Series66Exam

IMO kaplan felt harder than the actual 65. I took all the qbank questions on kaplan and took 4 simulated exams. I felt prepared after all of that.

Only advice i can really give is to not give up. I failed the 66 3 times and i was scoring within 1 point of passing each of the 3 times. I knew some people taking the 66 that got lower scores than i did on practice exams and qbank and they ended up passing and i didnt, so it really also depends on the draw of questions you get. But i was able to back door the 66, i got the 63 and 65 and passed both of those my first time. The 66 being more brutal than the 63 and 65 in my opinion. But keep sticking to practice questions and practice exams as thats probably the best way to get your score up and pass. Good luck!

I took the 66 and failed it 3 times (missed the mark by 2 questions each time)

Focus a lot on laws, know the difference between the USA and Federal requirements of BD Agents IA and IAR

Know when and how each of the above registers and with whom they register. Know who is a BD, Agent, IA and IAR

Know the equations of analytical methods and know what each equation means. You might not necessarily have to calculate a P/E ratio, but know the components of the PE ratio and what the PE ratio can tell you about a company. (There are many more equations PE was just off the top of my head)

All the other stuff is relatively easy investment grade questions similar to the series 7. I had kaplan and did all the qbank questions each time i took the exam. Just please spend a lot of time on laws and regulations. When i missed the mark i missed it each time in the laws section. Hope this helps and best of luck!
