Do you guys think I am valid to pass SIE based on these knopman scores?

Sorry I know this is a dumb/annoying post but do you guys think I am good to pass the SIE based on:

Every 85 generated question exam covering all chapters I consistently get 76-85%. Both end Diagnostic exams I got a 74% and 76%. All my friends are saying I am good to pass like 100000% but idk I have low confidence in myself lol I also don't really know if I actually know anything or if I am just at this point memorizing answers from Knopman lol 

thank u guys sorry for the dumb post

Yes, you’re fine. I took the SIE yesterday and passed. I was getting anywhere from 72-80% on Kaplan’s practice tests. Take your time and double check your answers and you should pass. If you’re not feeling confident, take more practice tests, or don’t tell anyone you are taking it (so it’s not embarrassing if you don’t pass).

Good luck!

 

Anyone know what happens if you don't pass the exams on first try? Does your group find out?

 

You have to retake it. And actually yes I’m pretty sure they will know that you didn’t pass right away because you won’t have your license registered. But that doesn’t really matter, so long as you pass it within the allowed amount of tries/time.

I think my firm required passing within 90 days/3 times or something, and if you didn’t you’re terminated.

 

same mine is 90 days within starting. But am I allowed to like show up to work and do work without liscencing? Like is there a rule in the industry that i have to have it before I can actually work?
