Hi all, hope you're doing well. Taking the Series 63 in 3 days, I've done about 1170 Qbank questions with an ~80% accuracy, last seven 65-question practice tests I took from the Qbank I have an 85% average, and I got an 88% on one of the diagnostics. Am I ready or should I prepare more? I feel like I'm never 100% sure with most of my answers and sometimes miss little details. Thanks!

For the rule about needing permission to open a brokerage account with a different firm, is that triggered when someone accepts the job offer or on their official start date? When does someone become an associated person?

Hi everyone. I failed twice at my old firm and now at a new firm I failed once. Looking for any ideas for how I can potentially bypass or invalidate my third attempt or get FINRA to bypass the 6 month wait period. Not sure if this is possible but open to any ideas or if anyone has done this before. I failed by a few questions and am really concerned about if I will lose my job now.

Hi, anyone is also studying series 9 &10 at the moment? Would like to connect with folks and share study experience. Thanks 😊

Hi all! I’m taking the S79 next week and badly need more practice qs or practice exams (not paid for by bank/company so study costs add up). If anyone has pdfs or other resources for practice questions- would really appreciate any leads!

Hi, stupid me, I know and it is what it is. Looking for advice, I have Series 7, 63 and trying to get the S79. I have 2 nights to study for it and I started yesterday.

I am getting 88% ish in Kaplan but I am reading that Kaplan is not realistic. Anyone that has a knopman sample test in a pdf I can use? or any advices on topics that Knopman covers that Kaplan doesnt? any topics you would recommend I dig deeper into?

Thank you!

I have been studying for the 63 for the past month. I have the full Knopman Marks 63 course. I used Knopman for the SIE and felt well prepared but felt that the real questions were worded much differently (simple), regardless I passed the SIE with only 2 weeks of studying.

I have read the material and am consistently hovering around 70% avg on practice exams and chapter quizzes for the 63. Reading here, I found that several people recommended the Kaplan Q bank bc it was more accurate to the exam vs Knopman. I bought the Kaplan Q bank and have been consistently getting mid to high 80% on any of the Kaplan quizzes I do.

Please share your own experiences or recommendations. Am I good to go?

Hi ho.

Is anyone in this group an attorney who left the practice of law in order to obtain a series 7 and to embark upon a career in financial services?

If so, is the grass actually greener on the Series 7 side of the fence, or, is it just different grass?

Thank you for your time.

Took and failed my Series 53 twice back in 2019/2020. What im wondering is if based on the amount of time that has elapsed, will the clock reset and if I fail again (hopefully not!) I'll only have to wait 30 days to retest? Or will it still be 180 days/6 months? Anyone know for certain?

I am using STC for the series 6, and I am averaging late 70s to mid 80s on my 55q practice exams.

ANY guidance would be much appreciated, I have heard this one can be a demon in the testing journey.

Thanks!!
