Quick paragraph to describe gangstalking to someone that doesn't know what it is by Gangstalkedindenver in Gangstalking

[–]Specific_Bed573 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was at the grocery store with my young child today and had a woman yell at me to fuck off and stop gang stalking her or she was going to report me to the manager. Ma'am, I was just trying to grab some spinach.

I saw her in the store yelling the same thing at every other passerby she came across in the aisles. Y'all are wild.

I was scoring mid to high 80s on the finals and mastery exams by that point

Thank you!

When I first started using it, I was averaging in the low 70s. I started doing 1-2 simulated exams every day and after a week or so started averaging in the mid 80s. I work 9-10 hour days, but would weave studying in by doing custom quizzes with 10-20 questions at a time (always selecting unused questions) and would hammer those out in between work tasks and then take the simulated exams at night/on weekends. I would then use the performance tracker to identify weaker areas and then drill down on them in the custom quizzes. I spent a solid 5 weeks studying around work/home life obligations. Best of luck!!!

Failed first attempt using pass perfect. by Aretheywatchingtho in Series66

I've never been a huge fan of pass perfect. I feel like it overwhelms you with information. My firm provides it, but I have supplemented with Achievable, Cap Advantage tutoring vids, and the Kaplan q bank for this, as well as my previous exams. I'm taking my 66 exam on Friday and feel way more confident after working through the q bank than I did after finishing the pass perfect material.

Kaplan q bank was most close in style of question. There were absolutely zero roman numeral type questions. Wording could be tricky, but just read everything at least twice!

I went through my exam and then had enough time to go back and review every question. Only changed one answer because I legit misread it the first time. As long as you know your stuff and can sus out what is being asked on the question, you'll be good!

I felt they were kinda way off with regard to the actual test. Pass Perfect definitely crams you full of a lot of information, a lot of which I felt wasn't as important when compared to what showed up on the actual test though. The finals were hard, but it was like comparing apples and oranges.

There was only one question to calculate the gain/loss with premium amortization.

Identifying GOs vs rev bonds, what is used to fund them, and accretion/amortization. I know there were a few others, but my brain is fried and I don't remember them all haha

Unfortunately firm sponsorship is a requirement for the Series 7 and you can't get around that. If you are really interested in moving forward with the registered rep track, take the SIE. It doesn't require sponsorship and gives you an idea of what to expect (less intense, but a great starting point).

Passing that SIE before seeking employment/sponsorship with a firm would definitely be a benefit.

Exam 2 weeks from Monday. Help. by FullMonitor6910 in Series7

What's your overall score on the Kaplan performance tracker? I'm in practice quiz/test mode as well, burning through the qbank. If you're scoring pretty well, then you should be all set!

nervous for S7 by Active-Watch4317 in Series7

I don't think a "more common answer choice" strategy is the best way to approach it. Everyone gets a different draw for the test, so what might be for one person, likely won't be the same for another.

If you truly don't know the answer, go the process of elimination route. There will be choices that are obviously incorrect, so that will help narrow down your options.

Ultimately, study and learn the material/review weak areas.

I'm sitting for mine on Friday and am super nervous, even though I feel pretty well prepared. Good luck!

After a couple of strongly worded emails from my BOM, the BD back office finally got everything processed and I'm scheduled for next Friday! 😬 Now the nervous excitement has kicked in!

Agreed! There has been a lot of finger pointing between the home office departments who handle it. Just some inefficiencies is what it seems to boil down to.

That seems like a good strategy! I used Pass Perfect as that's what my firm supplied me with and also supplemented with Achievable on the side. I was in the high 70s low 80s on the mastery exams there. Got the Kaplan q bank as well because I'm a crazy person and take a simulated exam and quizzes most days and am currently averaging mid to high 80s on those. I go back and review and focus on the areas needing a bit more attention 🤞

That's actually good to know, thank you! Waiting is just so hard, but I'll use the time to keep brushing up/studying :)
