re: How hard are the series 65/66 exams?

Passed it today. It was difficult. Took Kaplan pretest course. Videos really made difference.

65

66 is mostly legal is i remember correctly. I passed it with a 75 which was the minimum passing score on my forst try. I studyied just yhe right amount, took it 2 or 3 weeks after 7 which i got an upper 80s score on.

The 66 is the 63 and 65, so it is more difficult than the other two on their own, dont sweat it and good luck!

The 7 is mainly just a boatload of info to memorize with a few options calculations thrown in. The 66 is much less info, but you have to have a thorough understanding of it. We were required by our B/D to take the Fire Solutions courses, but I bought the Kaplan online test package (unlimited practice tests for a year) and did nothing but take practice tests for 3 days prior to sitting for the 66. I was amazed at how many questions on the exam were in the practice tests word-for-word. Scored an 88.
