I passed the Series 79 this morning with a really solid score thanks primarily to the Knopman training program. The exam is long and fairly comprehensive. But, Knopman provided some highly relevant data in addition to their study manual, video course, practice exams, etc. You still have to put in the study time. But the Knopman course is strong...in case anybody was wondering.

I also highly recommend Knopman. Did not use them for the 79 but did for others, and had great results with personal attention and highly qualified instructors. Very good experience for them. Bank paid, in case anyone is wondering (and I have no idea how much it cost).
i have been seeing many posts on Knopman. to me, it seems as if these are folks employed by the prep firm. i could be wrong here, but it just seems strange
New account, one post promoting a product. Definitely trying to push something
1 guy with star highly recommending it adds to credibility
Me, I don't work for Knopman, I work at an investment bank – and I definitely give Knopman's training a big thumbs up. In the last week, I scored high 80s and low 90s on the two FINRA license tests, after taking Knopman online courses. My bank suggested STC but I decided to go with Knopman because of consistently high marks on WSO thread posts. Yes, it requires a time investment, but (to me at least) it's worth it to pass the tests on the first try with strong scores. To be fair, I haven't even looked at STC materials; from what I've read on WSO they're somewhat off base. Just in case anyone is looking for alternatives, I have heard a couple of professionals say good things about Kaplan.
Series 79 : Time to prepare? Knopman materials? (Originally Posted: 09/19/2013)
How much time did you guys take to prepare? Also I'm looking for Knopman materials, but can't PM anyone because I don't have enough bananas. Let me know if you are looking to sell. Thanks
I have the 79 and 63. Will sell both or just the 79 if that is all you need.
Will PM you.
Hey I know this is a few years late but I am just coming across this and would like to know if you still have 79 stuff
