I test for the exam on 7/2 at 11:00 AM. I think I'm in an ok spot so far. I am currently using PassPerfect, and have taken 19 finals. My data set is as follows: 79, 82, 79, 74, 85, 86, 78, 78, 78, 76, 78, 78, 81, 80, 86, 80, 75, 80, 77

I also took Ken's Brutal Exams and got a 79% and an 80%.

Most of the stuff I'm struggling with are some of the random factoids, and maybe some calculations. But I understand a lot of the big concepts like BD, Agents, IARs, IAs, Exempt stuff. I know I could review some of the calculations but I fear focusing too much on that will have me forget the more important things.

Anyone that has suggestions on what to do for the next few days would be greatly appreciated.

And if anyone has experience on what PassPerfect is like compared to the real thing, that is also appreciated.

I'm about a week and a half out from the exam (July 2nd), and I'm starting to feel a lot of stress about it. I'm genuinely having a hard time sleeping, eating, etc. because this exam is dependent on me keeping my job.

​

I have passed the 7 and 63 before, and I remember feeling stressed in a similar way, and that caused me to fail the 63 the first time. I don't want this to impact my 66 as well. I know I shouldn't be nervous because I'm averaging mid to high 70s on PassPerfect, and got an 80% on both of Ken Finnen's exams too. So I know I'm in a good spot. But at the same time, I was getting 80s on practice exams and I failed my 63.

​

I do get 2 attempts so I know I'm overreacting, but I just need some coping mechanisms for this because I know this isn't healthy.

​

​

Title explains it all. I'm using PassPerfect for exams, and I'm supplementing using YouTube, but everyone seems to say Ken Finn is harder, meanwhile I'm getting 60's using S7 G's tutorials (he is using Kaplan and STC).

​

Should I be concerned?

I play a lot with the tanks, and I feel like recently 4/5 of my tank deaths are now with some kind of lock on rocket to the point where it is impossible to dodge.

​

It really seems like everone is using them, so even if you use the protection system, it may get rid of 1 or 2, but then another 4 or 5 rockets get hurled at you and I get blown up.

​

It's getting annoying to play tanks again because as soon as I get out of spawn I get rocketed by a Javelin, a jet, or a heli.

I am using PassPerfect for the 66, and I just finished the book, and did 4 final exams so far. I test in exactly 3 weeks on July 2nd and I'm not sure if this is good enough.

​

My final exams are as follows: 79, 82, 79, 74

​

I am required in the next few weeks to do at least 12 exams (2 per day), but that still leaves me a lot of time. I don't want to just memorize the PassPerfect bank either because that isn't helpful, and I hear PassPerfect on the exam is a mixed bag.

​

What do you guys think of these scores, and what other things should I look at in addition to PassPerfect?

My firm assigns us to use PassPerfect for the exam learning, and I have about a month before I take the exam (July 1st). I have heard mixed things on PassPerfect, but a lot of those comments I've seen are years old at this point. I have never used the program and used Training Consultants for the SIE, 7, and 63.

To those who have used it recently, how has it worked for you? And what advice do you have?

Something I've been struggling with for a while is committing a sin with the attitude of "I'm going to Confession this week anyway". This is especially true with pornography/masturbation, another sin I've been struggling with for a while. While it has gotten better over the years the addiction is still there. And every time I slip up I tend to to think "I did it once, no point in trying to stop until I confess".

I confessed presumption today when I went to the confessional, and the Priest said something really eye opening. I'm paraphrasing, but he said something like "The sin of presumption is the sin you need to focus on. This is like blaspheming the holy spirit like Jesus talked about. You need to try harder to control yourself".

Of course, this hit me hard. I know this is a terrible attitude to have and the last thing I want to do is abuse the grace that has been given to me. Some things I have tried already is being more consistent with prayer, reading scripture daily (Bible in a Year podcast from Father Mike Schmitz), trying to put restrictions on devices, and monthly confession at a minimum. But I still find a way to fall back into these same habits. Any advice or suggestions you guys have on this would be helpful.

I am starting with a new firm soon in a new role, and I am required to take and pass the 66. I supposedly get 2 attempts at a month each using PassPerfect. I already have the SIE, 7, and 63. However I keep hearing mixed things on how difficult the 66 is.

I passed the SIE and 7 the first try, but failed the 63 by one point, which is why I'm a little concerned since it seems to just be that exam with the 65 material added on top of that. The second attempt though was a breeze and felt very comfortable with the material.

Any advice or insight on the exam given my situation would be helpful. Just getting nervous since if I don't pass I'll lose my new job.
