Nice work - I think you’re in good shape!
With your remaining time, I’d recommend you carefully review your previous exams, focusing on the questions/concepts you’ve missed/guessed. Really spend some time understanding why you got them wrong the first time to ensure you master the concept and can get it right next time on the exam.
And get a good night’s sleep! It makes way more of an impact than you’d think.
We wish you the best of luck! Let us know how it goes~
Thanks! I don’t want to lie, I think I am falling into the habit of memorizing some of the questions at this point. Aside from reviewing questions from previous exams, what do you recommend?
It’s natural to get unconsciously accustomed to the wording, but you can mitigate it by actively focusing on the question every time, going through the entire thought process even if you feel you could skip straight to an answer.
Another tip that helps is to think “beyond the question” by modifying the situation and asking “what if” questions. What if the rep had an office in a different state? What if their clients were retail investors instead of institutions? What if their firm was a BD instead of an IA? This kind of thought process will help you identify fringe areas of your knowledge to improve.
Reviewing questions from previous exams will be the most high-value thing for now! There’s only so much studying you can do in two days, and it’s essential to relax a bit on your last day to go into the actual exam with a clear head and high focus.
Awesome. Thank you so much Justin- I’ll let you know how I do! Hopefully by Monday, I’ll be back studying for the 7!
