Any suggestions? I've been studying for 4 weeks and I think I have the material down.

Changed the thread title from "Taking my Series 6 Banking License Tomorrow"

You'll be fine..Ive got my 7 and 66..I took the 6 five years ago..a lil stressful...but only because my job depended on it.

Just be sure of yourself and remember the concepts you've learned regarding the material....don't try and recall specific review questions..they might phrase something similar...but be asking for something different than you've been asked previously

Tell me about it... get this, if I pass this test, I keep my job, future father-in-law feels easier about maybe saying yes to marry his daughter, moving out of my house, and somewhat of financial security. Hows that for pressure?

Thanks for the encouragement.

It was a lot harder than the 6....I'd say on a scale of 1-10 I'd give the Series 7 a 7.0 on a difficulty scale....the Series 6 a 5.0..you have to prepare...but if you study for a month yo'll be fine...I studied 3 weeks for the 6 and got an 84..all you need is a 70..anything above that and you studied too hard..they don't pay you any more for scoring higher than a 70

I found the 66 to be the hardest of all.

66 not a lot of material..maybe 200 pages..didn't find the 66 very challenging to be honest with you.

So did you pass????

That's a bummer man, sorry to hear. Can you retake it?

thats what i'm waiting to find out. I have to talk to my boss. what sucks is that my boss is on vacation this week. so i just stay at the branch until I find out if they want me to stay. If they allow me to, i'll retake it in 30 days. If not, i will be terminated. So needless to say, its difficult to find the drive to study for my Life and Health Insurance Test...

Anybody have thoughts on the Series 24?

Passed it on the first try, but a lot of people seem to get tripped up on it

Some of the questions are pulled from left field

Did you study the chapter on how to set up a successful Ponzi scheme?
