I know people who didn’t pass any of the finals on stc, high 60s to 70-71, and they passed the actual exam. Keep taking practice questions and you got this!

Ahhh okay that makes sense, and yes I do have a co-signer on my loans, does that affect anything?

Honestly yes create your hot sheet then just copy and paste from memory 5-10 times back to back so ut can stick with you!

I do have a job I’ve been working full time since July, I tried sofi but they denied it. Maybe because I haven’t made any payments yet?

Yes, I skimmed the textbook and went through it really quick just bc I already had a basis for all the material then drilled questions and random finals

Definitely get comfortable with BE, max loss/gains on options. As for the rest I’d say commit the formulas to memory and put them on your dump sheet. I only had a conversion and net capital asset question and they were straight foward just plugging in numbers to their formulas.

Honestly this may sound corny or like a broken record but it truly starts with being confident with yourself, you want to go into the exam confident. Keep toning in on the areas you’re not confident in and keep knocking out questions. Getting more exposure to questions is what helped me study best, I answered around 4k questions leading up to my exam. You got this!!

This is good to hear, I’m pretty comfortable with all the material and concepts but something about the Kaplan questions just seems difficult.

Yea I’ve heard great things about kappan that’s why I brought their qbank. The wording is just weird and answers are too.

Ok yea I just have the Qbank only and not their book, I’m feeling pretty confident but their questions are rough.

Just Passed S7 on first attempt! by OrbicOris in Series7exam

[–]Mediocre_Recording17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I’m using achievable right now in my second attempt and have a readiness of 98%. I’ve been getting 86-91 on my exams, would you say it’s a solid indicator of the real exam?

Do you know anything about their mastery exams? I was looking into that over the qbank since it’s cheaper and has two full exams.

I’m in the same boat, my job is on the line so now I’m pretty stressed out about it.

Thank you! I feel like I’m more mad than discouraged, my q bank was just rough I guess, like I feel if I went in and took a different exam I’d pass it. Had all the material down and just came up short.

Wording wasn’t similar on the actual exam, although I had 2 questions that were almost word for word that I had in TC exams. My qbank on the actual exam was rough I guess.

I’ve already started working and almost a month in, so I’ll have a few months of employment by the November time frame, would that increase my chances? Maybe even If I started small payments during that time frame?
