I passed my SIE last year and bought the Achievable Series 65 course afterward. Honestly, once school started, I got busy and completely forgot about it. 😂

I realized last month that my Achievable course was about to expire, so I scheduled my Series 65 for the day after the course expires — which means my exam is tomorrow.

I know I probably could've given myself more time, but here we are.

I finished all of the reading and have taken 5 practice exams. My scores have been:

53% - 4 days ago

59% - 3 days ago

71% - 2 days ago

72% - 1 day ago

75% - Today

I honestly feel pretty confident going into tomorrow, especially because I don't really get test anxiety.

My plan for tonight is to lightly review the questions I missed on my last practice exam, go over some of the concepts I've struggled with, and maybe listen to Series 65 in 60.

Tomorrow morning, I'm thinking about listening to The Mighty Ninety Series 65 on the way to the exam and doing a little light review beforehand.

For anyone who's taken the 65 recently, any last-minute tips or things you wish you had reviewed the night before/morning of the exam?

Hey everyone, I’m a college student and recently applied for Schwab’s Financial Services Representative position. I just got invited to a phone interview, and I’m really excited about the opportunity.

I have customer service experience, I’m studying business/finance, I’ve passed the SIE, and I’m currently studying for the Series 65. Long-term I want to work in financial planning/wealth management.

My only concern is the training schedule, which is Monday–Friday, 8:00–4:30 onsite. I can work full-time, but I have three required classes that overlap slightly:

Monday: I’d need to leave about 45 minutes early

Tuesday: I’d come in about an hour late

Thursday: I’d come in about an hour late

The times include my commute, so the actual classes are shorter. I wouldn’t be leaving training and coming back — I’d either arrive late or leave early.

How strict is the training schedule, and is something like this potentially accommodated for college students?

I realize this may be a long shot given my situation, but I’m going to take the interview regardless. Even if it doesn’t work out, I think it’ll be a great learning experience. Any advice on the interview process, training, or what I should expect would also be really appreciated!
