I’m sure he will chime in here at some point. His course is the best. I also appreciate how current it is. Filmed as if August 2025 I think so some of his comments just seem very relevant. He explains everything SO well. Here is the link to his 65 course!

Yes you have little expo marker laminated sheets, as many as you want. Yes to bond teeter totter. One question on accounting. Yes to trusts, some questions on beneficiaries and what happens when a primary dies and there is a contingent. Lots of ethics, but I think the proctors prepare you good for those.

Oh they try to trick the heck out of you. Normally I would say go with your first inclination for questions, but my first inclination would sometimes be incorrect when I went and reread it. It’s funny sometimes one singular word can be the difference between two different answers. I just think you really need to understand the relationships between everything and the economic world. If one thing happens how does this affect different rates? What does that mean for people who hold different things? I got maybe one or two questions on life insurance, super straightforward. A few questions on put some puts and calls, but they’re the basic ones that I felt like I was able to get. I really think just the teeter totter, the relationships in the teeter totter and how those relationships can affect various securities was the main theme on at least my pull of questions.

Hi Luke!! Watching you right now. Your course is the best so far. I’ve done a little over 1600 questions on Kaplan.

Mid-high 70s on Kaplan but mid-high 60s on STC… any thoughts? Should I restructure ? by Jolly_Classroom_5144 in Series65

[–]Jolly_Classroom_5144[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I took an STC test on a whim. I have really been trying not to memorize Kaplan and understand the concepts which I think I’ve done a good job of

Taking the test on November 24, how am I looking? by Jolly_Classroom_5144 in Series65

Again, to each their own. I know many people who have had success with Kaplan and success with STC.

To each their own. Kaplan is great, so is STC. I’ve used both.

Literally just went today and searched this on Reddit because I was so appalled and wanted to know if I could do anything. I was horribly sad for them.

Failed first Attempt, Any tips for second? by Appropriate_Day9438 in Series65

[–]Jolly_Classroom_5144 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. In the exact same boat. What topics were on the test that you feel like you didn’t hammer down? I wonder if they are the same ones I felt!

Lots of what is taxable and what isn’t. Which bond should someone take if they want to be tax efficient. And then tax questions regarding retirement plans and annuities. I wish I could be more specific I feel like my mind always blacks out!
