Currently hovering around the 80-85% range on final practice exams (although I may not finish the entire 125 questions every time so its based on the questions I answered). Im currently at 79% on the exam readiness due to not using the course exactly as intended. I havent set my test date yet but wanting to take in the next two weeks so I was wondering if anyone had opinions on if I should schedule it out further or if within the next two weeks is fine? Also is there a guideline percentage of each topic that will be tested on the exam or is it completely randomized and you may get certain topics more than others? Thanks!
It looks like you’re on track to pass if you continue studying diligently!
Taking the test in two weeks seems reasonable if you keep going at your current rate. You can certainly wait if you want to be even more prepared, but just ensure you keep studying and reviewing the older topics to keep everything fresh in your memory.
I completely understand that it can be tough to set aside a big chunk of time for the full exam, but I would encourage you to do it a few times if possible. Focusing on this dense material for the duration of the exam is frankly a skill to practice in its own right.
FINRA does publish a breakdown by topic, but it’s extremely broad. You can find it if you dig into their official site, and we also have it here for easy reference:
We weight our exams similarly at a more granular level, so we recommend you use your Achievable exam performance summaries as a guide.
Got it. Is there any way you can look into my profile and let me know what topics I should focus on during this last stretch of studying?
Going by your chapter quiz stats, it looks like you should brush up on Retirement & Education Plans and Rules and Ethics.
It’s hard to tell which questions you’ve gotten wrong because you skipped, and which you’ve gotten wrong… that’s one of the issues with only taking part of the exams.
If you can, take a full one, and review the summary!
Hey Justin I passed today so I wanted to say thank you for the help. Do y’all happen to have a discount for existing achievable customers for the series 66 exam? Thanks!
Congrats on passing your S7!
I’ll DM you about options for other courses~
