STC vs. Knopman Series 63 and Series 79 -- which is the most up to date / better material?

Hi guys,

Wondering what is your opinion on which is the most up to date / better material to prepare for the 63 and 79. Also can I share with someone else? Or is it optimal for every analyst to get their own.

Thanks.

 

Thanks for your response. Did you use the STC for both the 63 and 79? and which package / what materials did you use? Yea good point I was just curious.

What concert costs 45 cents? 50 Cent feat. Nickelback.
 

DO NOT underestimate these tests they are both very easy to fail! I’d budget 80-100 hours on the 79 and 20 or so for the 63.

The only thing to use for 79 is knopman make sure you take several practice exams.

The 63 is tricky as hell. I used both knopman (rebranded Kaplan) and STC. Also take several practice exams that’s the only way you learn both.

Passed with 86 on 79 and 82 on 63. Huge relief to pass both on first try because the whole firm will know your results.
