4th time failing the Series 66
Im embarrassed to even write this because who fails a test 4 times? My first 3 attempts were 9 years ago after I passed the Series 7. Right away my 41 year old brain is far from remembering anything from 10 years ago and haven’t taken a test since. I used Training Consultants (both times, it’s what finally got me to pass the 7) but I have to say I regret using them again. Their practice exams were far from the actual exam. After getting a 66, 73, 73, 66 and 77 on each final exam , i knew i needed more help. I came on here and took the advice of strangers and bought the test geek brian lee’s study materials which i feel helped tremendously. Also watched every youtube video of his and did a couple of ride along Kaplan q bank exams with the Guru Dean Tinney. (Hes a little dry for me but did pick up some things here and there from him)
Today i took the exam and got a 71. Devastating. There was not 1 roman numeral answer where you have to pick multiple answers . Not ONE. And i feel like the majority of what I studied was filled with them. I was surprised actually at how many point shoot and click questions there were and overall the test felt way easier than any of the practice exams i took. Zero and i mean zero math questions. I didn’t use my calculator once and used my scrap paper one time. My weak areas were laws and regs (32/45) and client recommendations (18/30).
I feel exhausted and don’t know where else to turn to for additional help for re-taking the exam a 5th time. Does anyone have any advice or mind telling me of their experience so i can not feel like such a loser. I have been studying 2-4 hour days mostly 7 days a week for the past 6 weeks. I just want this exam out of my life.
