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.

I just did this, and passed.

Spend one day reviewing the KM videos + (and this is 100% essential) reading the 4 chapters that make up like 75% of the test. Spend the second day grinding practice questions, including the benchmark. They say you need 500 but if you get to 300 you should be ok

63 is not difficult content at all but can be a tricky test. Godspeed

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.
