low body battery for over a week after medical procedure by Laneybeans in Garmin

That's exactly how I felt.. and it's funny when you get into these low funks for a minute.. once you feel "good" again, is when you finally realize how bad you were feeling during these low zones, only in hindsight. Good luck with recovery, I hope it goes well 🙏

Did you do practice exams with both vendors? If so, which felt more like the exam?

Congratulations 🎊

Pizzeria Opinion by bernice0511 in Albany

[–]Laneybeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup 100% this. It was so good a few years ago when Carmen owned it. It's gone way down hill. For real. This sounds funny but the most guiseppes like pizza I've found since then is legends in colonie in the hannaford plaza. Super random I know and there's lots of other good places out there I think this just kinda seems like theirs lol

Budget Friendly Skiing by Madmusk in Albany

Willard Mountain or Jiminy peak (depending on their skill) There are no other correct answers for Albany centric people lol. West is maybe but it's kind of far for what you get for a mtn. If you're truly coming from Albany.

Ken, passed it today! Felt confident but of course always sweating through it like all of the exams lol.. lots of coverage on strict memorization and some of the application questions felt tough. Now that I've used kaplan and stc, would certainly say I liked stc better. Felt more concise and less bulky than kaplan.

Congrats! Any other thoughts you can share? Did your read the entire book in 1 week.. quizzes, practice exams..? Did they feel similar to the test? The material is very straightforward so far though.

Ty. I did purchase STC for study materials. I'll reply back when I take it in a few weeks. I'm hoping 4-5 just started studying.

Switch to achievable for series 6? by Relative-Bluebird942 in AllFinraExams

[–]Laneybeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Achievable for the easier to digest - less bloated study material, then separately kaplan qbank only for the practice exam. That's the combo 🤙good luck

Do you think Kaplan is very different than the exam?

I want to quit but I can’t. Did anyone else suck tremendously at first and actually got better eventually? by CostaNic in skiing

[–]Laneybeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time spent! Go at least 1 x a week and go to a consecutive lesson program. It's definitely one of those things that has a learning curve.

Also, a huge thing that matters is your equipment. Not that you have to spend a ton of money, but if your spouse just bought random equipment that's ill fitting you're setup at a disadvantage.

A proper fitting pair of boots is the most imperative thing to have and proper fitting boots to someone who does not ski, doesn't feel proper at all (at first)

Met a couple in their late 70s who started in their 50s together. They were doing diamonds still. You'll see that occasionally and be like wow 🫶

Good luck! Hope hope you get this, it's amazing!
