How's My Knopman Marks Studying?
Pretty much going through the video lessons and grinding a shit ton of questions. Scoring 80-90s on the end-of-lesson quizzes and when I take ALL of the lesson questions available 120-200+ questions I'm getting 70-80 range. Is that pretty adequate prep?
After the vids and questions plan on taking practice exams until I pass consistently which hopefully I do pretty easily since I feel I've been doing well.
Any thoughts on what to change in my studying or thoughts would love to hear them!

Have been in the same boat and think that is more than fine. As long as you are scoring ~80 on the benchmark you should be prepared to take it on test day.
I think you're fine. I passed the 79 this morning and am feeling verbose, so in case it helps you or anyone seeing this in the future with KM: I'm an incoming AN1; my firm used KM for SIE/63/79. I passed all three on the first attempt with the below study schedule:
A couple of pointers: First, KM says that as you get further along in your studying, you should turn off the setting in the practice quizzes where it immediately tells you if you're right. I would ALWAYS keep this on, as it lets you learn as you go/see why a choice is incorrect. Regarding the book: Contrary to a lot of people here, I thought the book was very helpful for the SIE & 63 (63 especially). If you have time, I'd recommend reading through it because it covers things that the videos just don't touch. However, the book for the 79 was just way too fucking long, and my firm only gave us 5 days to study for it, so I just skipped it. YMMV.
I know that was really long, but I just finished up the whole series exam process and I know that I would've appreciated a guide on here when I was looking. Hope this helps!
Thanks for this write up
Should be fine as long as you feel like you have a good grasp on the content. KM exams are often easier than FINRA so try to know the basics of everything as opposed to super in depth with everything (like KM wants).
On the SIE, I was trying to memorize specific years and numbers that never showed up. They mainly tested for baseline understanding.
Go in confident with your knowledge and watch some YouTube videos/read key concepts to refresh
Any update ? Did u pass and what did you think of the exam?
.
Passed first try. Felt very confident taking it, didn’t tell you the the score but felt like it was 80+
