Series 7 exam in two weeks

FINRA FINRA Series 7
1

Hi,

I am going to take the exam in 2 weeks, and I have been practicing and studying a lot. The last results that I have obtained are:
-Final Exam A: 77

  • Final Exam B: 83
  • Full Exam: 87,82 and 84.
    Are there any additional tips that you could provide me with recent questions in the exams that you have encountered? Any specific topic that might be more difficult in the exam than the platform?

Thanks in advance to everyone, and good luck!

Hey Joel, it looks like you’re doing well.

I reviewed your account; here are a few tips:

  • Most importantly, spend a few hours reviewing each exam after take it; this focused studying is necessary to ensure you master the topics and get them right next time
  • Take a few practice exams normally, without instant feedback, to simulate the actual exam experience
  • Slow down a bit to ensure you’re carefully reading and thoughtfully answering the question fully every time

The summaries on the dashboard and practice exam page are good guides to identify weaker areas to study more!

Passed my exam on March 23, 2025. I failed the first time and this was my second time. Thankfully I passed. The first exam has a lot of math questions.
Break even, mini max, parity and the SMA values. But my second test not so much math. So you never know what you get. Before taking it, I would suggest to go on U tube and really learn about the different options strategy. There are so many videos to learn from. The exam really wants you to be able to understand the different strategy and to utilize it for your client. Must know how to construct each strategy depending on what your client market sentiment is. Get comfortable with the buy and sell vocabulary. Because that is what we use in the real world. I panicked the first time taking the test and only got a 70. I like the Achievable platform but a little improvement would be great when it comes to options strategy. I would still recommend this platform to others. They give a lot of situations and want you to be able to pick the best strategy for your client. Good luck!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I passed my exam today, 28th of March 2025. As most of my peers, I felt that the exam was harder than expected. A lot of questions that I felt I didn’t really get the right answer.
However, I definitively know that the platform helped me get the score.
Thank you everyone!
My next step: series 66. Any suggestions?
