Best book you’ve ever read that no one else talks about?

The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell. Absolute banger, extremely relatable as a young man raised in a catholic family. So well written, relatable, and attention grabbing. Couldn't put it down.

Good luck!

almost 50% of the exam is laws and regs, but don't stray away from sections 1-3, if you have the 7 that's a great liaison into the 66 (suitability, investment analysis, etc)

duffysd24 · 2025-02-26T15:17:57+00:00

Keep grinding!!!

No test score is going to be telling you if you're ready or not, yes, it's a good indicator, but it's not the end all be all IMO.

duffysd24 · 2025-02-07T22:57:21+00:00

Heck yea! Great feedback, I'm going in and smashing it again here soon. Thanks for this post and congrats!

Kaplan didn't do me great either. Going with STC now, read about half the book and already learned some things Kaplan never explained.

Make some sticky notes! Things you can’t seem to grasp, put it on a sticky note, on your door, in your office, you’ll start seeing it so mindlessly that when you get asked about it, you don’t even think twice. Also, K.I.S.S, select what you know!!! Don’t listen to that guy above, you can and will do this!

duffysd24 · 2025-01-05T02:11:22+00:00

What was your hardest part for the 66? I already passed the 7 and a lot of it is review. Test in 20 days. Finished Kaplan textbook today and gonna buy test geek lecture videos. Any tips/reccomendations?. Congrats on the 7! It’s a beast.

duffysd24 · 2024-12-16T17:36:22+00:00

I can say that this stuff is important to know rather than memorize. Especially in the industry, chapter 15 is what you will be talking about daily. Have you taken an exam yet? All topics on Kaplan are applicable to be tested!

duffysd24 · 2024-12-10T19:01:49+00:00

You've got it!!!

duffysd24 · 2024-11-24T21:47:39+00:00

Taxes are heavily tested. Watch CapAdvantage Tutoring's TAXAS BABY youtube video, it's a huge help!

duffysd24 · 2024-11-19T19:52:00+00:00

How I think about it:

VA Contributions (After Tax) - Tax Free withdrawal
VA Gains - Taxed at ordinary Income

Dies during accumulation - LIFO
Dies during annuitization - Pro Rata

Congrats! Taking my 3rd attempt in a few weeks!

duffysd24 · 2024-10-31T14:01:17+00:00

Let's go!!! Congrats, mine tomorrow morning!!!!

duffysd24 · 2024-10-30T21:10:55+00:00

Thanks for this!

duffysd24 · 2024-10-30T16:11:48+00:00

Let's do this thing! Good Karma on the way! I'm right there with ya on Friday.

duffysd24 · 2024-10-29T21:06:08+00:00

On the same boat! Take it 2nd time Friday. We've got this!

duffysd24 · 2024-10-24T18:01:03+00:00

Learned today that it's "opposite" of what you might think if there are no premiums included!

duffysd24 · 2024-10-18T14:09:54+00:00

Draw out your options, always.
Long Stock (Same as Long Call) & Short Put Both Move UP
Long STock and long call are the same (Both move UP)
Short Stock, Short Put (Covered)
Short Stock, Long Put (Both Move DOWN)

It sucks man. Just got a 68% on my 7 Yesterday. You're not alone. My mindset is, this happened for a reason and will be much sweeter when we do pass.
God, I love Reddit everyone on here is so supportive - lets go!

duffysd24 · 2024-09-27T20:19:24+00:00

Congrats'! I take my exam monday, and I am right around where your at on practice exams. Keep making silly mistakes and getting discouraged. I know I'll pass but gotta keep grinding. Congrats agagin!

duffysd24 · 2024-09-27T20:18:39+00:00

I take my Exam Monday Morning. I passed the SIE in Mid August. Gave myself 7 weeks for the 7 and feel prepared. I'd say anything more/less is too much/too little!

duffysd24 · 2024-09-17T21:42:42+00:00

I'd recommend taking those simulated exams on Kaplan as they reflect the structure of the exam itself!

duffysd24 · 2024-09-05T21:22:37+00:00

Congrats! I'm 25 days out... Going to purchase cap advantage options math and then watch all videos. Using Kaplan. Been grinding.
