For people who have already taken the Series 7, how much of your study time did you actually spend doing practice questions compared with reading the study material?

I'm finding that reading a chapter can make everything seem clear, but once I start answering questions, I notice there are still areas I don't fully understand.

I've been testing a few free resources and came across Every Exam Prep, which has a Series 7 practice test with explanations. I'm curious whether experienced test takers think question-heavy studying is more useful toward the end, or if it's better to keep going back through the textbook.

What worked best for you?

I’m curious what everyone does when you want to get some practice in but don’t have enough time to make it to the range. Especially during the colder months, I find it’s easy to go a while without actually swinging a club.
I recently came across PiGolf’s new AI swing analysis feature and thought it was an interesting direction. From what I understand, the goal is to analyze your swing and provide feedback that you can use when practicing.
Do you have any indoor routines that you find worthwhile? Swing drills, putting, hitting into a net, simulator, or something else?
I’m mostly interested in things that are actually convenient enough to use regularly. A setup can be great, but if it takes 30 minutes just to get everything ready, I probably won’t use it very often.

What has worked for you guys?

I'm currently comparing a few options for sourcing products in bulk and came across several manufacturers on Made-in-China. There seem to be plenty of suppliers to choose from, but I'm more interested in how reliable they are once you actually start communicating with them.
For anyone who has sourced through the platform, what was your experience like with supplier verification, MOQ, pricing, samples, and communication?
Did you have any particular way of checking a supplier before placing a larger order?

I’m at the early stage of developing a physical product and looking into different ways to find manufacturers. Made-in-China came up during my research, but I haven’t used it before.
For anyone who has actually gone through the process, how was it finding suppliers and communicating the product requirements? I’m also curious about getting samples, checking whether the supplier can handle small initial orders, and making sure the numbers still make sense once everything is factored in.
Was Made-in-China more useful for you, or did you later ended up finding manufacturers in another way?

I’m planning to hold a backyardwedding event here in Lenoir, NC and I’m starting to look into local rental options for tables, chairs, and possibly some other event equipment.
For anyone around the Hickory area who has rented items for an event in Lenoir, NC, which company did you use and how was your experience?
I’m mainly looking for someone dependable with delivery, setup, and pickup.

We're putting together a backyard wedding instead of using a traditional venue, and I'm realizing how many rental companies are out there.
For anyone who has went through the backyard route, where is best to take your rental from? I'd love to hear which companies were worth the money and easy to work with.
