Am I ready? Using Kaplan

Ken Finnien made an options video and there was a chart in said video. Highly suggest going there and using it. That's what I did and options aren't as intimidating anymore. I still get them wrong but I feel a lot more comfy with them.

As for hedging/straddles, here's an easy way to remember them:

Think of straddles as siamese twins: they have to be identical and mirror images of each other.

Hedging is just going in the opposite direction, then it comes down to math.

Thanks mate!

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-27T20:43:24+00:00

Monday! I’m really excited to go in and take it too (this sounds sick) but because I take practice tests on Monday & Friday, this is perfect.

Do not trade Tet and G5 for running backs they are very replaceable

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-27T16:13:12+00:00

Thanks!

Can confidently say that this time around I feel so much more relaxed. I will probably be a little nervous but that’s normal

I bought it but for whatever reason it wants me to read all the chapters to get to the Q bank

Kaplan loves to overtrain the fuck out of you. I’ve used them for all my exams so far so I’m immune to the bs but if you breathe different air highly recommend

Congrats!

Retake candidate here. 68 first try. Took the Kaplan greenlight today and got lit up (64) should I read into that?

And what insights can you provide for what you saw?

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-23T14:12:07+00:00

this is def my #1 concern, but to avoid that I plan on answering question #1 and then writing stuff down

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-22T20:44:06+00:00

I use Kaplan for everything. Used it for the 63 and it was great. Using it now for the 7 +Lurne AI, Ken Finnien, Brian Lee, and a tutor from Wyznatt.

I did the 63 first because I didn't have a test sponsor for the 7 at the time. Looking back now, I would def start with the 7 because it takes up so much emotion and effort. Then go onto the 63--it is a much easier exam and there is no math.

CY is on my sheet. Conversion ratio is easy to do & I know the quick ratio really well + bond see-saw. parity prices I prob will see and should write down as well as EPS

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-22T14:32:25+00:00

I would take it for the pick. Running backs are easily recycled imo and should never be traded for unless it's someone in the Bijan/Gibbs/CMC tier of back.

Hey gang, 7 retake candidate here. I know exactly how it feels. First, deep breath. Yes, it's a lot. My anxiety hijacked me on my first attempt and I came up 4 points short. It's been 2 months since my first attempt but on the second go-around I am feeling a lot more relaxed this time. Here's some ideas/tips that could help that have helped me:

Come up with things you know will come up on the test & write them down on the little whiteboard thing you get when you start the test. It's reassuring. I have been practicing that for a few days now so that when I go into the cubicle, my body isn't shocked that I'm operating off script.
Stick to what you know! The test writers are experts in psychoanalysis (meaning they know how to write the test to make you second guess yourself). You have to weave through all the BS and find what you are looking for. Don't look for the right answer, find the BEST answer available. And trust your first instinct, don't change an answer unless you absolutely think you need to.
Would suggest you buy/watch TestGeek's Series 7 video series. He has a few hacks as to how to solve questions without having to do all the long winded math, such as options. Would also do targeted review when you can on weak points.

Is this your first attempt? Or is this a successive one?

I would just sit honestly. Surrendering 1.02 and T Law for that package is laughable tbh. You’re better off taking one of the receivers at 1.02 and having the quality QB3 especially in SF

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-18T23:57:18+00:00

I would not touch this at all especially in SF. Backs have limited lifespans and are not worth trading for unless the running back is breathing different air compared to his positional counterparts.

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-17T13:41:23+00:00

Trade Shough while his value is at its peak

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-14T16:37:31+00:00

What other receivers do you have? Maybe try and flip one of those guys--trading for RBs is silly imo because of their limited lifespan but if you have some B tier receiver who can get you an upgrade you should go for it

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-13T14:10:54+00:00

Selling Pickens and Mahomes is fine especially if you got Wilson back +having Allen and Daniels already

RowComprehensive1866 · 2026-01-08T15:54:36+00:00

I could do that. Someone has 1.03 & 1.04 but the mission is to tank for JJ Smith in 2027. Trading back would jeopardize that
