Just passed today! Thought I was failing the whole time lol. My draw had a lot a lot of options calculations but those were easy for me bc I bought Ken’s options videos. I only think I passed because I had a lot of calculations lol. Barely any munies, couple calculations like current yield and dividend yield, some questions about years you have to keep stuff, and the rest was suitability for the most part.

Ngl some of the questions and answers felt a little foreign where you kind of have to read it a few times to even understand wtf they’re asking, but applying all the tricks and memory aids I guess did the job.

I used Kaplan and they go into wayyy to much detail about things I didn’t even see.

Here’s where I’m at right now:
74 on the Knopman benchmark exam
77 on an STC test
Just scored a 75 on Ken’s brutal’ exam

Am I ok? Super stressed

Taking the Series 7 on the 19th and trying to gauge where I realistically stand.

My scores currently are:

- High 60s on Kaplan finals (Kaplan has absolutely been beating me up mentally)
- Mid/high 70s on STC finals
- Just got a 74 on a Knopman Marks benchmark exam

Gonna focus on weak areas (margin, corporate bonds, and variable annuities) and just keep practicing options. Gonna take Ken’s brutal exam this week.

Trying to focus these last 9 days on confidence/execution instead of spiraling over every score lol.

I’m about 2 weeks out from my Series 7 and looking for advice on how to break through my current plateau.

I’ve been scoring mid–high 60s on Kaplan practice exams, but I’m doing much better on individual chapter quizzes. I’ve watched a lot of Ken’s videos, re-read chapters, and I’m consistently reviewing weak areas—but my full test scores aren’t improving the way I’d expect.

For those who’ve been in this spot before, what specifically helped you jump from the 60s into passing range? Any strategies for improving test-taking, retention, or confidence under timed conditions?

Would really appreciate any tips on what to focus on over these next two weeks

I also am concerned that I’m totally screwed and won’t have enough time.
