Best SIE Prep Resource

Hi everyone, I've done some searching and believe that STC, Kaplan, PassPerfect, Knopman, and Achievable are the main resources for the SIE. I was wondering if anybody had any particular recommendations out of these.

I’ve used Knopman (uses Kaplans book but better all around) and STC for different tests. IMO, these tests (SIE,63,79) are about cramming information and familiarizing yourself with question structure, should take one week beginning to end and I would use the STC materials and 2 day live crash course with the below guide.

Day 1: skim book,

Day 2/3: STC 2 day crash course

Day 4/5: 2 days of tests

Day 6: Problem shoot trouble areas by skimming book and doing more questions, take one final test and if you’re at 80 you’re more than good to pass

Day 7: take test and never worry about it again
