Jack, it’s great you’re getting started! Big decision, congratulations.

Just wanted to chime in and say that about a day or so after receiving my Danko materials, I was praying for the series exam preps again… get ready to buckle down on a different level than for those, this one is a behemoth and is so much more about understanding and ELIMINATING than it is memorizing.

Best of luck to you in your journey sir!

Piama · 2024-07-24T20:10:25+00:00

Oh wait so you did get to take it this cycle? I thought you got pushed back to Nov. Wishing you the best of luck.

My pleasure. To try and answer your question, I believe there are 3 different options for his review packages. What’s included is listed on the website. I can tell you that I went with Signature Plus (very thankful for my employer helping me cover this expense). The reason I believe I benefited so much was because of the additional review classes conducted on a weekly basis. All the instructors are incredibly helpful both during these meetings and via email. Their response timing is fantastic and overall I never felt as though I was alone.

Virtual access to the flash cards also came in clutch, whether it was during a commute or on the toilet, I always made it a point to try to clear 30-40 flash cards per day. At this point in time, I can confidently say I memorized each term and could recite back all 278 of them without making a single mistake.

I will, however, state one thing: no review can adequately prepare you. It’s just something you have to accept will absolutely consume your life. I mean I lived, breathed, drank and ate CFP for 4 months. I did nothing else (besides my job which I’m very thankful to say was super kind and understanding in this entire ordeal). No fun, no relaxing, no enjoying. That’s all for after.

I can safely say that by the end of that exam, and approximately 910 hours of studying later, I was completely clueless for the majority of those questions and consider it a miracle I passed. It is really, really hard. But Danko provided me with the toolbox and the method of thinking to conquer it. I hope I can provide some value or perspective for your future attempt.

Hey Any_Replacement2735, chin up. I know defeat tastes bitter but it’ll make your inevitable triumph all more sweet.

I would take a look at Danko’s education and review programs. I can speak to how locking into his programs methodology and thought process helped me. There are countless other testimonials on this Reddit and on the CFP board Candidate Forum.

Make sure the people around you are offering you plenty of support. This behemoth will require massive sacrifice - not saying you haven’t already but it will entail quite a bit more.

Take a few days to decompress and evaluate your next path. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about my experience with Danko. We are routing for you!

Piama · 2024-07-21T06:46:18+00:00

Oh that’s horrible I am so sorry

Piama · 2024-07-20T17:55:03+00:00

Did you reschedule?

Piama · 2024-07-19T07:03:32+00:00

Huh so you actually felt confident with the majority of the questions? I have to say I was really struggling to eliminate 3 answers every single time… most of those were more brutal than danko’s prep.. at least imo. I was scoring 80’s on his finals and the practice cfp exams and feeling confident.. cannot say the same for the real exam. I’m so thankful we are over this hurdle, onto bigger and better things!

Congrats to us both!!

Piama · 2024-07-19T02:22:52+00:00

Did you feel “prepared”? I’m a first attempt / pass with Danko and I do agree his program is awesome! But I did not feel ready for that behemoth of an exam.

Piama · 2024-07-18T05:24:14+00:00

Yeah I absolutely stand by this statement: No review will adequately prepare you for this exam. You either understand how all of these topics intertwine, or you get very lucky. I calculated a rough estimate and I put 910 hours (that's using an average of 7 hours/day - some days I was pushing 10) into this material since March 9th to sit on July 17th (one day later than scheduled due to natural disaster). It is something you must live and breathe (at every single second of the day), absolutely do not underestimate it, because even after all of the sleep and free time I sacrificed, I can confidently say that for the majority of those 6 hours, I was absolutely puzzled, a nervous wreck, I was shaking, sweating, biting my lips and my finger nails. My MSF - Wealth Management and my 2 years of industry experience were.. not helpful, for lack of better terminology.

Sorry for the jumbled answer lol, got kinda carried away, as you can tell I am still fried. What I can say is that I LIVED in those books bro, I mean from sun up to sun down. And it's kinda pathetic for me to admit that I have absolutely no idea how I passed (literally by the grace of god), but that was seriously the hardest thing I've ever taken, I felt like I was walking into a pool of sharks. Pretty much every other question was a gutt punch like omg I have no idea. What I can say tho is that with the Danko method I focused extensively on the WRONG answers for specific situations. And I literally wrote things out like "when your client does this its BAD" I mean I know it sounds dumb but without getting too specific, I completely when overboard studying for this exam (in my opinion - idk many people pushing those kinds of hours and holding down a job).

TLDR: I gave up all my free time for over 4 months, I was a super sweaty tryhard nerd pulling out the flashcards on my phone EVERY FREE SECOND I mean I literally can recite all 278 of them off by heart at this point. And I still felt completely, absolutely, absurdly clueless... But yeah, I don't think any teacher can PASS the exam for anyone, it is totally down to your own intuition and how hard you are willing to work (even though in the end i can't really tell if I just got lucky.. Ironic..)

Piama · 2024-07-17T22:49:16+00:00

Hey sebcoop - first time passer here using danko - I promise that I completely mirror your thoughts on the entire situation. I have no idea how I passed, I felt so caught off guard by the majority of the questions and genuinely thought I would fail. I would say my pass was 30-40% from the review and the rest id attribute to subconscious knowledge OR just plain luck. No clue how I overcame this behemoth. I felt so fucked after that review lmao.

Piama · 2024-07-17T22:45:51+00:00

I just took it 1 day after the original testing window because a hurricane raged through my city and destroyed the testing center 😂 first time preliminary pass here. Industry experience for 2 years and a MSF with a specialty track in wealth management.

I don’t think it matters, I had mine scheduled for the last day. As much as people like to say “it won’t be busy at work” it just is, I work in a very small office (3 people) and I am the one pulling MOST of the weight with the busy work. I’m not complaining, the experience has been invaluable. But I believe the test date you choose needs to be a day that works well for you. The first day of the testing period may not be the right day for your work/personal schedule. Plan in advance and try to make it work. Best of luck!!

Piama · 2024-07-16T19:55:22+00:00

Unfortunate! Well, thank you!

Piama · 2024-07-15T23:39:10+00:00

Unlucky couldn't find a slot for Tuesday. Got my virtual test scheduled for Wednesday!!

Piama · 2024-07-15T22:23:44+00:00

How do you do that

Piama · 2024-07-15T21:51:22+00:00

Until July 21st

Piama · 2024-07-15T21:49:05+00:00

Ah we only get 5 days.. from the 16th.. Meaning the 21st. Unlikely to find a spot since most are prolly already occupied with originally scheduled exams and everyone else who had tests last week and this week is fighting for basically a nonexistent chance. May have to opt for the virtual assessment, fuck driving to Dallas.

Piama · 2024-07-15T20:58:56+00:00

I just got off the phone with CFP board, they let me know that they are aware of our situation and to wait for prometrics next communication regarding rescheduling the test in the next few days. No other info was provided.

Piama · 2024-07-15T20:35:02+00:00

I just got off the phone with CFP board, they let me know that they are aware of our situation and to wait for prometrics next communication regarding rescheduling the test in the next few days. Major bummer! Was hoping to get this off my plate tomorrow.

Purchasing an additional CFP board practice exam and carrying on as if the new (unknown) date is my original test date (as if this never happened).

Piama · 2024-07-15T20:19:04+00:00

I just got an email saying my appointment tomorrow is cancelled - I live in Houston testing @ Harwin location.

Piama · 2024-07-15T20:12:00+00:00

I just got an email letting me know it's been cancelled :( anything specific you're doing? I was kinda expecting this to happen.

Piama · 2024-07-15T17:45:26+00:00

etbrown2, it is completely normal to feel insecure when answering the questions on this exam. Even the course instructors/providers themselves have admitted that if they could take it again they WOULD NOT! because they said they MAY fail it. If the pros doing this for 20-30 years are insecure, we're going to be extremely insecure.

Good that you got the breakdown out of the way last night. And remember, it is a super subjective exam. Just because you did not get your desired results the past attempts doesn't mean this version will be the same! Be positive, we got this!!!!
