In a word? Yes. There’s a reason why people are able to pass with a 125-page book - simplicity. There are only 100 questions on the exam, but the Kaplan book is 500+ pages and their question bank has 3,000 questions. If people are able to pass with far less material, this is definitely overkill. As I mentioned in my original post, I read every page and answered every practice question, some multiple times, but I still didn’t make it. Why? Too much unnecessary information within the material. Information overload. Much of what I read and answered wasn’t even on the actual exam. If I had a year to memorize the book that’d be one thing, but I don’t and neither does anyone else.

There is nothing that unusual about the Kaplan book. Did you read the book twice? Most people need to read books or parts of it more than once, especially with rules and regulations. Taking the same practice questions over and over again is not a good strategy. When you do that, you tend to memorize the questions without necessarily understanding the concepts. You may have spent a lot of time studying but your approach may not have been optimal. I encourage my students to read the book more than once and supplement that with fresh/challenging questions(and lots of them).

Hello all, I have been viewing this page for awhile now. I just recently took and past my S7 so moving on to the 66 now. I noticed there were a few individuals on here giving some great advice and also some “Cheat-Sheets”. Any advice or recommended material that I could help with my studies would be greatly appreciated.

I did purchase the TC program and have dove into the Uniform Securities Act Chapter and let me tell you, this test is going to be much more in depth than the 7 or at least from the first chapter I have viewed, it sure does seem that way. Congrats to everyone who has recently or previously passed! I think we have a general consensus from everyone’s perspective… These test SUCK!!! Haha

Please help widen my overview of this test and any “Cheat-Sheets” or advice, again, would be much appreciated!

Best wishes,

Passed the 66 with TC last week! Received an 81%. I liked TC and I think I’m going to supplement my series 7 studying with the TC exams (I currently have STC). I also have a solid 2 months of use for the 66 exams so if anybody wants to use it let me know!
