Passed!
Thought the exam was way easier than the diagnostic and the benchmark exams. Was very nervous going into the exam but Knopman marks definitely over prepares you in a good way.
For reference I wasn’t scoring very well on the practice exams: diagnostic 1 (61%) diagnostic 2 (64%) and benchmark (66%).
I was especially nervous after completing the benchmark the day before my exam and not getting in the high 60s. But after reviewing it I realized a lot of my 50/50 questions I missed.
Completed around 930 practice questions with only a 62% accuracy. Studied really hard for one week putting in ~60 hours. I watched the videos for chapters 1-6 a couple weeks before the exam and watched the rest the week before.
Key concepts is a must to review, the flashcards were very helpful. You must read the email Knopman sends you about key concepts. NYSE was a gimme question on the exam.
My takeaway is that if you’re not scoring well on the exams don’t let it discourage you. If you put in the hours you will pass the exam.
Quizlet/flashcards helped me studying. Only like 5 total math questions on the entire exam.
Most of the questions were pretty straight up and were easy to answer if you watched all the videos and went over the key concepts. I went over the textbook for chapters 2-6 which I think helped me understand the concepts more. Focus more on the concepts/rules rather than the math.
Overall was very stressed going into the exam but while I was taking it was very confident and was very confident when I submitted it.
