I am studying to take my Series 65 exam. Does anyone have used Kaplan study guides, practice exmas, qbook etc. that I can buy from them? Or do you know where I can get used Kaplan series 65 material? I went on ebay and amazon and found nothing. I appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.
thanks for the advice about walker book. do you have a walker book you can sell me?
I have a Kaplan book you can have. It's the most recent edition. Shoot me an email via the link in my profile to remind me.
I used a B&N coupon and got it for like $42, definitely not a high bar for the Walker book. It reads well, we'll see how well I do on the exam. I passed it about 8 years ago and recently sat for the CFA so the only part I am focusing heavily on is the law...
Strav,You'll have no problem passing with the walker book. I sat for CFA level I in December, barely failed. Studied the walker book for 2 weeks after taking a real test and passed the 65 without a problem. The law section is pretty straightforward in that book. Best of luck to you.

Walker pass the 65 or 66 see amazon My 2c Dash growsavings.com
what is it about the Walker book that provides such goodness. I have take the exam and FAILED! 69% I might add. I used the Kaplan stuff. I "was" operative word, a series 7, 24, 27, 53, 63 and I would like to have the 65 but it almost seems unattainalbe. Got answers? I would like to get back into the mix. Anyhlep is greatly appreciated.
I passed the Series 65 in October 2011 on my second try. I studied some old practice exams for the first try (that I got for free from a RR member) and missed it by one question. After that, I bought the Kaplan book with online access for $149. The book was thorough and the practice tests were great. In fact, about half the practice test questions appeared on the real test, so Kaplan is in tune with FINRA. I looked at the Walker book and it was useless. On the first try, I studied very little, about ten hours. I thought with 25 years investment experience, the test would be easy. On the second try, I studied about 40 hours, most of that on the practice tests. I got 90% on the second try. Thus, I highly recommend the Kaplan book and taking as many practice tests as you can.
Thanks for the response. I am guessing that I probably didn't do enough practice exams. I have found that the questions provide alot of info not provided in the book. Too bad for me and the fail! Back to the grinding stone. I guess I'm just making it difficult. thanks again for the response smallcap_research. I'll be back. In the meatime I will be doing some practice exams. Have a profitable day!
