Man, I love what I do.  I'm starving, but I love it.  Perhaps you should do as a couple of posts have suggested: I used Dearborn as a supplemental training guide for the Series 7, paid for it myself, as well as the firm study material.  Use Dearborn.  Secondly, perhaps you should go get your Insurance License first, sell Insurance for a year.  Some states insurance licenses have as high a failure rate as the Series 7, or so I've heard.  Besides, if you get a Series 7, you MUST Get your insurance license in order to work at most firms.  Think about that Insurance license.  Don't give up.  Turn off the tv when you study.  Make time for quiet.  If you must, utilize a library.  If you can get a college degree, you can pass the 7.

Good luck to you, see you in the trenches,

just remember, once you pass then your persistence and personality can go to work for you and your test taking days will be just about over

Now I am a rookie at a wire. 

Hopefully, in another two years I can post that I have 30 mil AUM..

Man you need to memorize the theories. I am sure you know them now… A few points is based on confidence. It is possible you were not ready after test 1 and now you just have lost your confidence…



Man just think and say, "I have never failed and I will pass."



I know 80% of those who fail, think they could or will fail. Obvoiously one knows when they studied enough.



Keep the faith and increase the KARMA!

Bro I wish it was that easy!  Thank you for the support.

I have not lost any confidence.  In fact, the ***T that I have been trough the last two years is motivation enough to keep going.  STRONG!!!

If I go down, GD, I am going to go down swinging and break some faces!!!

DirtyDelta…

I just took the 7 yesterday and was unfortunate to score a 68%. I was told to study options and muni’s until I was sick of them. I did so and scored 90% on both those sections, but failed to spend enough time on the other sections (MSRB rules, etc.).  One question I do have…my firm provided me the Kaplan material, is this a disadvantage, or will Kaplan get the job done?

This subject has been discussed over and over. 

My opinion, is that Kaplan is garbage- too many long stories and excessive information.  I used STC for the 66.  I liked this program is much more efficient. 

But I could be wrong.  I really believe that the 7 was much harder than the 66- which is not the general consensus.   Everyone basically laughed when I told them I failed the 7 two times and passed the 66 on the first try. 

Must have been psychological…
