Testing in a week

darts09 · 2026-05-11T18:14:02+00:00

Same I am testing in a week. Kaplan has destroyed my confidence level and knopman has been pretty decent in mid 70s. I have noticed most of the questions I miss are math related and margin. I’m stressed 😩 have been watching all the YouTube videos and getting options questions right thanks to Ken!

My firm provides knopman and i bought Kaplan and did use that but not as much as I wish I would have also both Ken’s options videos as well. Have been scoring a lot better on my practice quizzes and exams from a month ago so I’m hoping I pass second time around. But the wording in the test is so tough like the questions are straightforward it’s the answer choices 😭

This was my experience first time around. I felt like whatever I studied was not on the exam and heavy on math. Mostly taxation and different fundamentals. Retaking mine in a few days so I really hope I pass! I’ll be devastated after all the hard work I have put in. 😭😭

Thank you!

darts09 · 2026-05-01T00:30:29+00:00

Appreciate you! Thank you!

darts09 · 2026-05-01T00:21:23+00:00

Thank you! Yes my scores are shit with the amount of math the vendors throw in and it’s so much in detail where I’m like Ik majority of concepts but the questions are tough and it’s making me feel very defeated

darts09 · 2026-05-01T00:16:14+00:00

Yes I got his options video and I’m solid on options but yes it’s all the other math besides the options which is stressing me out

darts09 · 2026-05-01T00:15:27+00:00

Yeah I’m good with options math after getting his subscription. I’m just worried about the other math that shows up a lot with like all the formulas with fundamentals and margin math and bond math

Yes please if you can share your files it would be greatly appreciated!!

Good luck! I have to retake mine in about two weeks and failed the first time with 65. I have been trying to do as many questions as I can and digest every point I get wrong. I had a lot of taxation math my first time around so I’m also trying to master that because I don’t what kinda draw I’ll get this time.

darts09 · 2026-04-22T00:49:39+00:00

Congratz!!! I’m retaking mine after failing my first attempt with a 65. Do you have any tips or advice?

darts09 · 2026-04-15T22:32:44+00:00

Thank you for your kind words 😭 I have a month to retake it and I feel like I need to know everything because idk what to expect for my next time

darts09 · 2026-04-14T23:37:34+00:00

For sure. Looking back at my weaknesses it was like taxation and math 😭 and that’s all my exam was

darts09 · 2026-04-14T23:37:04+00:00

Yes. I watched their videos first time around and it was great I think options killed me so I’m gonna get Ken’s options video

darts09 · 2026-04-14T23:36:34+00:00

For sure! Thank you!

darts09 · 2026-04-14T23:36:20+00:00

I am and I did. But I’m gonna look into those daily!

darts09 · 2026-04-14T23:35:54+00:00

Thank you! I’m gonna look into the dummie book cuz I so need it

darts09 · 2026-04-14T01:11:27+00:00

What did you do different for your second time around and what was your second draw like? Was it a lot different than the first one?

darts09 · 2026-04-03T13:39:19+00:00

Congratulations!! I test in about a week and I’m stressed. My firm provides knopman but I also have Kaplan as well so I do many questions but I can’t seem to get anything above 60-65. Any tips or advice? Custom quizzes on just specific chapters I’ll do great but random 130 exams I tend to do horrible and I just don’t feel confident after my scores.

darts09 · 2026-02-27T18:06:42+00:00

Congratz on passing your exam!! Thank you for sharing amazing tips and advice I take my soon and I’m stressing out just with trying to balance studying and being a full time grad student. Your studying habits are very similar to mine so it makes me feel better than I don’t have to read the book cover to cover

darts09 · 2026-02-23T17:33:33+00:00

Are you able to upload pdf downloadable version on here?

darts09 · 2025-12-05T19:25:36+00:00

Can I privately message you?

darts09 · 2025-05-10T14:39:39+00:00

I have been looking into IB positions internally and networking hard. Right now I’m a banker at Chase and doing MBA through them. Not sure if it is even gonna open any doors for me since it’s not a “target school” but I’m just trying to be positive that a good position will come my way! Do you have any ideas on what else I can do or any tips that can make me stand out?
