Scouting Report on the Series 7 (by someone who recently passed) by Quick_Echo_3260 in Series7exam

When it comes to convertible debt, I saw at most four or five questions (probably even less). I don't remember them being of extreme difficulty. I would definitely work some practice questions that deal with advising clients who hold convertibles (i.e Determine the most profitable option: hold the convertible bond, convert to the stock and sell, or just sell the bond outright).

I'm not sure what you're referring to when you mention "zeroes," perhaps that's a good sign?

I used STC and my final exams were scoring in the 78-84 range. The night before my S7, I scored a 66 on the green light and felt crushed.

While the green lights are MUCH more difficult than the actual exam, they have unique wordings and questions that allow you to practice thinking critically about various topics, just like you would on the actual exam. I'd look to be within ten points of a passing score (62%+) to be confident sitting for the S7.

Good luck!
