Passed today even though Sarasota tried to kill me with 3 flipped cars on the highway.

Studied for 4 months total. Ended up getting max 83% on Kaplan QBank sim and 84% on Ken's brutal exam.

I drove down and listened to Ken and the other guys summary videos and that helped a ton.

I got the weirdest draw ever. Like 80% options and 19% suitability and 1-3 random sectors sprinkled in with a few questions that were so incredibly hard (must be experimental? idk)

Definitely know options / spreads and straddles got fr 10 of those, suitability, and also a big thing I don't see people talking about enough is being able to limit the possible answers to 2. That helps so much. Also got 3-4 accrete / amort ("OID you must accrete" was actually used believe it or not).

Accidentally hit the tiger woods fist pump and a LFG in the testing center once I passed but they were cool about it.

On to the 63.

Highest Kaplan was an 82% and just got an 84% on Ken's Brutal Exam. (Shoutout the GOAT)

Test is Thursday. Planning to just hit some larger topics im weakish on for two days and then light day Wednesday.

I feel pretty prepared thanks to all the resources.

Question is how are you guys keeping it light on that last day but still getting some last minute knowledge in?

Hi guys - I've commented on here a bunch and you've all been super helpful so thanks.

Here's my scores:

Kaplan Scores: 74, 72, 78, 82 (most recent yesterday)

Achievable: 82, 81, 80, 82 (transitioned to Kaplan after last one)

Here's my question, I was planning on doing another Kaplan sim on Monday (leaving two days of lighter prep before the exam Thursday). Should I do another Kaplan sim or do Ken's Brutal exam for a different perspective? I'm thinking Cap Brutal exam.

I've included my Kaplan scores for clarity, at 80% overall.

Kaplan Scores: 74, 72, 78 (most recent test today)

Achievable: 82, 81, 80, 82 (took between the 72 & 78 Kaplan)

Feel like I took a big jump with the 78 from Kaplan... My plan has been just drilling the topics I'm low % on and making them strengths.

I'm doing another Kaplan in 4 days, should I also try to add Ken's brutal exam in there as well instead of an additional Kaplan before the test?

Just want to use my time wisely. Thanks!
