Taking the 7 in 5 days. Am I ready?

Here’s where I’m at right now:
74 on the Knopman benchmark exam
77 on an STC test
Just scored a 75 on Ken’s brutal’ exam

Am I ok? Super stressed

Testing in a week

Taking the Series 7 on the 19th and trying to gauge where I realistically stand.

My scores currently are:

- High 60s on Kaplan finals (Kaplan has absolutely been beating me up mentally)
- Mid/high 70s on STC finals
- Just got a 74 on a Knopman Marks benchmark exam

Gonna focus on weak areas (margin, corporate bonds, and variable annuities) and just keep practicing options. Gonna take Ken’s brutal exam this week.

Trying to focus these last 9 days on confidence/execution instead of spiraling over every score lol.

Taking the series 7 in 2 weeks

I’m about 2 weeks out from my Series 7 and looking for advice on how to break through my current plateau.

I’ve been scoring mid–high 60s on Kaplan practice exams, but I’m doing much better on individual chapter quizzes. I’ve watched a lot of Ken’s videos, re-read chapters, and I’m consistently reviewing weak areas—but my full test scores aren’t improving the way I’d expect.

For those who’ve been in this spot before, what specifically helped you jump from the 60s into passing range? Any strategies for improving test-taking, retention, or confidence under timed conditions?

Would really appreciate any tips on what to focus on over these next two weeks

I also am concerned that I’m totally screwed and won’t have enough time.
