Can you study for Series 63 in less than 2 days?

Basically, I didn't take the SIE before my start date like my bank had recommended, so I am taking Series 79, SIE and Series 63 in the 2 virtual weeks we get to take the series exams. I already passed series 79 the first week, but am currently concentrating on the SIE, and will only have 2 days to study for Series 63 (it's on Saturday, and SIE on Thursday). I feel good about SIE (mostly scoring in upper 70s and lower 80s after only starting to take the full tests today). But I want to continue concentrating on SIE, so wondering if I should perhaps reschedule Series 63 to next weekend, or just study for it in 2 days.

Yeah banks typically give a short timeline to pass the 63. It's probably the easiest of the bunch but also a little tricky. It actually has a higher fail rate than the SIE and 79, probably because people don't take it as seriously.J ust make sure you're doing good on practice exams and you should be chillin. I improved the fastest on this one.
