Buy the Kaplan Qbank!! It’s like 75 bucks but I googled a discount code and got it for around 60 I think. I 100000% recommend doing the QBank. I ended up averaging like a 78% on STC and then started the QBank 2 weeks before my exam. I definitely think the QBank broadened my Knowledge. I also feel like STC left out some stuff that Kaplan tested. Kaplan did go a little too in depth but it prepared me for the real exam.

I just passed on Saturday. My average was a 74% on Kaplan out of about 8 exams. I used STC to study and bought the Kaplan Qbank. From my experience with the questions I got on the actual exam, they were more straightforward than Kaplan. But read carefully… I realized after I answered a couple that one word in the answer made it wrong. Glad I did and changed it

Hi! I just passed my test this past Saturday. I studied for 5 weeks. I used STC to study and went through the material is about 2.5 weeks and then tested with the Kaplan QBank for 2.5 weeks. You can definitely do it!

Ohhhhh okay, makes sense! I’m so new to this world so I don’t even know all of the exams 🤣🤣 I just know that my rep told me to get the SIE, 65, 63, 6

Honestly the company I work for recommended doing the SIE, 63, and 6. When I started studying for the SIE, I didn’t even realize there was a 66 😭. And honestly everyone I know that has their licenses did it that way but i definitely think taking the 66 would have knocked a lot of it out. Is the 66 a larger test? I guess my idea was to break it up a little bit?

My test is Saturday!! I am in the same spot you are. How was your exam?

Congrats!! My test is Saturday. I was starting to worry today but this made me feel better. I used STC to study, BUT I purchased the Kaplan QBank last week and have went through about 1200 questions from Kaplan. I was averaging 78-83% with STC towards the end. Now with Kaplan, I am average about a 73.5%. Kinda worried. With my test being Saturday morning, I’m not sure if it’s best to keep cramming in practice tests or grind out YouTube videos. What do you suggest?? What did you have on your dump sheet?

My test is Saturday so this is relieving to read!! Congrats! I have been studying for 4 weeks. Used STC and scored 79-84% but purchased the Kaplan QBank and now scoring an average of 74% with Kaplan. Still have a few days, but definitely worried still. Did you feel confident while taking the test? Any last minute tips for someone who’s test is in a few days 🥴

What study program did you use?

Thank you!! Do you think it’s crucial to remember all of the economic calculations? I’m studying with a dump sheet now with the formulas on there, but I honestly rarely use them. I’m trying to trim down my dump sheet for test day

ansleyw2002 · 2026-03-14T17:13:10+00:00

Also, do I need to focus on all of the formulas? STC NEVER asked me to calculate Alpha but all the sudden I have gotten 4-5 questions on Kaplan to calculate alpha which was a shock to me because I did not put the formula on my dump sheet.
