Loaded Mac with chopped Nashville tenders & Smash Burgers

One of those meals that I can’t even (and am afraid to) track, only meal for the day lol. Crinkle cut fries, Mac, 2 chopped up tenders, chopped up smash burger, light cheese sauce, and what is essentially their own cane’s sauce. $19 look at the size of that box😭😭😭

BANG! What a relief

~1800 QBank questions with a 69% average (low to mid 70s on the exams)

Started studying the second week of April, had a week hiatus May that made me have to brush up a bit but really took these last 3 weeks more consistently and seriously with questions. I was pretty stressed these last few days because of my Kaplan scores, but its exams along with Dean’s explications definitely prepared me for precisely worded questions that intend to throw you off and second guess. I understood the concepts pretty well at a ground level but specific details were harder to differentiate.

What I remember:

IA/IAR and BD/agent definition questions

Investment suitability for clients (investment strategies as well as types of securities, investment companies, a few mentions of limited/general partnerships)

Forwards, futures, options

Form ADV as expected (mostly Part 2)

Qualified retirement plans (mentions of solo 401k which I didn’t even know was a term lol)

One question about IAR CE

Marginal tax, tax-equivalent yield (know municipal vs after tax regular bond relationship) might’ve been the only times I picked up the calculator

Mentions of banks, accredited investors, lending to/from clients, so know how those exclusions and exemptions work

ISO and NQSO

If I think of any other key or prevalent topics I’ll add them. In general, I feel like the peak of the bell-shape in difficulty was definitely trying to break confidence with specific wording that threw me off and would have me second guessing.
