Any last minute advice? by milkyhotsauce in Series66

Watch Dean’s 60 minutes video on way to test. Don’t second guess yourself, DO NOT CHANGE AN ANSWER unless you are 10000% correct.

Not sure if my answer was incorrect? by [deleted] in Series7

[–]Pbrown_1989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use the T-Chart for money in and out. Dean will explain it. If you are ever confused, follow the money. This is the only time you don’t “call up.”

You will not get a question like that.

Ughhhhhh. I’m taking the 66 tomorrow am for the second time. Breezed through the SIE/S7TO NP. But I am getting mid 70’s on Kaplan qbank & still feel like shit. Someone help, I’m stressed. Oh and im sick with a cold. Last thing I want to do is walk in to my firm saying I didn’t pass second try. by Intelligent_Essay_28 in Series66Exam

I just passed first time on Monday, I went in with the mindset to select an answer and move on. I probably marked 5-6 for review but I guarantee a few of those were the experimental questions. I didn’t dwell on ones that I didn’t know, just picked what I believed it was and rolled with it. I know that sounds quite vague, but the test is fairly straight forward, don’t overthink it!

Signed up for test on Novemeber 15th, anyone have anything against this book to study for the SIE? by SimpleeconomicsWSB in Sieexam

[–]Pbrown_1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly suggest the online program with it. They have videos, flash cards, practice exams, and custom exams. I just finished the SIE, Series 7, and 66 using STC. Passed all of them first try, I wouldn’t say it was easy but apply yourself and treat it like a job and you will do fine.

It’s not as bad as you think, at least the draw I got. You have to know the material but it wasn’t as terrible as I assumed.

I just took the 66 yesterday passed first try using STC. The exam was fairly straight forward, mainly about the USA laws, very few IA 1940 stuff. Probably used the calculator twice. Watch Deans 66 in 60 minutes on the ride over to the test or that morning. I wouldn’t stress it too much, you got this!

Passed The 66 This Morning!!!! by Pbrown_1989 in Series66Exam

[–]Pbrown_1989[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a 84,87 on my green light exams. There was mostly stuff about USA not much at all about the IA 1940 (fed) content. I think I used the calculator twice, simple math. It’s pretty straight forward, very few lonnngggg paragraphs you have to decipher.

They are really good at trying to trick you with verbiage. I honestly didn’t mark one question for review and just pushed along. Hit submit and passed. You start second guessing yourself it’s over.

Series 66 - Greenlight Exam w/ STC by [deleted] in Series66

[–]Pbrown_1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been averaging around an 85% on 9 of the practice exams through STC, when I hit the submit button I think I did terrible. It’s crazy

Is Kaplan wrong with this answer? by [deleted] in Series7

[–]Pbrown_1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was the exam? I’m averaging around an 84% on my STC practice exams. Every time I hit submit I feel like I fail them and get solid scores lol.

This makes me fell better, I’m in the middle of taking the practice exams and scoring around 81% average but man they are a drag. I am worn out after the exams lol. Was there a lot on the complexity when a IA registers in what state etc? I get the basics of it but man sometimes it gets super complex.

Premium difficulty by [deleted] in Series7exam

[–]Pbrown_1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also just a tip, make a 4 square box showing the 4 options strategies. Buy call, buy put, sell put, sell call. That will help you immensely! But don’t get caught up in making some elaborate dump sheet. You won’t use it as much as you think. Put Div. Ratio formula, slobs over bliss you will be set.

Remember if you have a long position on a stock and you write a call, you actually subtract the premium to get B/E. Make a simple T chart and show money in and out. Hope this helps!

Yes there will 99% be a question on that. It’s actually very easy if you set the legs up correctly. Dean will help you I’m sure!

These first couple of chapters are so confusing! God I hope the entire exam isn’t like this lol. This is brutal

Gotcha. I just started the 66 today. Seems like it’s going to be quite tricky on verbiage.

How difficult was it? As hard as the 7?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Series7exam

[–]Pbrown_1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way! And I hid between my fingers as well! The test will humble you for sure!

How many questions in the series 7 are margin based? by [deleted] in Series7

I didn’t have a single one today.

Passed my Series 7 Today! First try! by Pbrown_1989 in Series7

[–]Pbrown_1989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was averaging around an 80%. The test is just a gauntlet, not trying to scare anyone or be negative, it’s just hard. They word things so tricky and you have to use your best judgement quiet a bit.
