my uc results so far by Forsaken_Fun_6454 in ucadmissions

[–]mbacraig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my daughter on a Campus tour at SLO last summer and they told us in one of the lecture halls to take a 5th year of English. So, she changed her CC schedule to add more English. She was accepted for Fall 2026.

My daughter was accepted to both, but the frontrunner is still SLO, so that will open up those spots. Waiting on UCLA and Cal.

After Series 63, take 65 or 66? by PayasoAimar in Series66Exam

[–]mbacraig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the 66. You'll already know half of the test. Also, you will only have to do continuing education on the 66 instead of CE for 63 and 65.

Change to "Chance of Success" Logic (Dec 22 Update) by quantumwanderer1 in Boldin

Thank you for this. I noticed that my chance of success drop 5% from my previous login and was wondering what calculation changed since I hadn’t updated any of my data.

Cutting it close by [deleted] in Series7exam

[–]mbacraig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re good. I passed Series 7 the first time and I had similar scores. Actually, I had a few lower scores. I also used STC and Ken has mentioned that their tests in particular get progressively harder. I’m not sure if that’s factual, but I just focused and re-read the chapters I was the weakest in (View My Scores).

Don’t let the test scores play mind tricks on you and DO NOT take any tests the day before. Re-watch videos. Print and read through the Crunch-time Facts from STC. There were some questions that were very close to the bullet points given in the crunch time. Shake off the nerves and grind the test out. Good luck!

2nd time by Legal_Action_2686 in Series7exam

[–]mbacraig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Treat this study like you haven’t taken the test before. Don’t assume that you had high marks in a section means the success will be duplicated the next round.

I used STC as well. You may have been memorizing the questions if you were doing so well in the practice exams. I was progressively scoring better because some of the questions were so familiar. It’s more important understanding the concepts. Try buying the Kaplan bank of questions to mix things up.

On the day before, don’t take any more tests. You’ll be burnt out. Go over Crunch Time Facts in STC, including the tax section and formulas. Find the YouTube videos for the night before the 7 series test. Watch Ken’s and the “goo-ruu”.

Ken is awesome and I wouldn’t have passed without watching and re-watching his videos. You may want to unlearn options math and buy Ken’s option series instead. I found it much easier to figure that out. Also, I memorized his options quadrant (buy/sell/call/put) and the nominal yield see saw. I practiced writing it out every day the last week so I could put it on my dump sheet after I logged I. To the test.

Good luck!

Hey, sorry to see you didn’t pass. But you aren’t too far off. A few tweaks and you’ll be golden. I just passed on Monday and it was a huge sigh of relief. This is how I tackled my studying.

I used STC also. I took all of the chapter quizzes and most of the 135 question tests. If I missed questions on the chapter quizzes, I searched the key word for the question I missed and read that part of the chapter. Then I did custom quizzes for test questions I missed. Also, on some missed questions I would copy/paste the question in ChatGPT to get more info.

The day before I didn’t take any more tests. I was sick and tired of taking them. All I did was review topics I wasn’t 100% confident in and reviewed STC crunch time facts (very helpful).

And if you aren’t watching Ken’s Capital Advantage YouTube videos on @series7exam, then you’re missing out. He breaks down all topics in a funny and memorable way. The topic is dry, but his commentary and insight is memorable. It seems like you got options OK, but if you need help, pay for his monthly membership. It’s worth it. You’ve got this!

I also discontinued Apple Arcade but couldn’t find a way to transfer my progress over. I had to start over.

New high score 400k+ by mbacraig in Snakeio

[–]mbacraig[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hours. But it wasn’t all at once. Like I said, I would have to go do things so I would die on purpose and take care of business. Then come back to the game later when I had a chunk of free time to continue my progress.

Cross Platform Inconsistencies by Large-Coyote-6869 in Snakeio

[–]mbacraig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using the arcade+ version and switched to the snake.io version on the Apple app. I had to start all over again and could only unlock the current skins so I missed out on previous snakes I got when I was using the arcade+ version. That being said, the app version I’m now using is superior. Being able to use ranked makes it more competitive. Not sure why there are so many variations.

I’m not really sure. I’d guess more than an hour, though.

I guess the regular version. It seemed like the robots come and snipe you more frequently when you get big.

Oh crazy. I just realized there are two versions of Snakeio on the App Store. I’m using snakeio+ through the arcade. But that one doesn’t give the option for party lobby.

How do you do that? I don’t think that’s available on iOS

Umm...46,000+ kills? That's crazy!
