I recently failed the series 7 twice once with a 68 second time with a 71 by one lousy point I failed it stung hurt bad. I have one more try before I have to wait 6 months and I cant afford that the performance box I did not perform well on was obtains and verifies costumer instructions confirms transactions and I don’t know why when I know the rules and the type of orders FINRA is very vague when telling you where to look at in your weakness so what topics should I attack what tips can I use to pass this exam its not even that hard my second time I had confidence the exam looked so familiar I studied enough to know what they were asking some questions I was stuck but not completely.
@Kristy_Botsford I am sorry to hear you didn’t pass - you were so close!
Try to review your weak areas listed in your exam summary: I can see your weakest areas are “Secondary market” and “Retirement and education plans”, followed by “Taxes” and “Alternative pooled investments”. Try to review these sections in-depth and retake any quizzes in those sections. You also have a few sections that you haven’t read in the textbook - try to read those sections and take the associated quizzes.
When you take full-length practice exams, try to simulate the real testing environment - use the full time, limit distractions, and focus on accuracy. After each exam, spend time reviewing every question and revisit any topics you struggled with before moving on. The goal isn’t just to finish the course quickly, but to build lasting knowledge and pass your exam confidently. Achievable’s exams closely match the real thing, so try to consistently score in the upper 80s on practice exams to build confidence and create a buffer for test day stress.
You got this!
