Man finally. Failed with a 69% twice and this was my chance to pass or be terminated from my firm. Used Kaplan the first and second try. I was so burnt out from studying that reading a book and doing practice exams was doing absolutely nothing and even hurting me. It was awful. I had to change it up. My firm didn’t want me using anything other than Kaplan so I bought Test Geek’s class and private tutoring on my own dollar and time. It was 100% a GAME CHANGER! Kaplan makes everything way way way more complicated than it needs to be. If you’re struggling you NEED Test Geek’s video course.
As far as the test goes i got what everyone else has said. Lots of registrations and Regulation questions, Suitability, only a couple Form ADV’s, mutual fund suitability, basic IRR, Basic DCF, Quick Ratio, what is shareholder equity, couple balance sheets, know your synonyms, 1 Stop order question, 2 option questions, ETF suitability and its Tax Advantages, the Gold Coin IRA question, 1 soft dollar question, when to deliver mutual fund prospectus.
Keep it simple. Kaplan makes all this stuff like a giant box of Christmas lights. You have everything you need to pass but it’s all tangled up and a nightmare to try and unravel. Don’t quit!!!!! It took me 3 times after not failing a single exam before it. Sie, 7, and Life & Health insurance all took me 1 try. This was just a different beast for me. But do not quit! It will click!
