No you should be good. I had a week for the 79 and felt prepared. Just breathe and do the SIE on Finras website after studying for a week
.

I literally opened the book for the 79 three days before the exam. Grow a pair
Knopman’s programs are designed for you to pass. If you follow their agenda to a T you should be good.
First year analyst, studied for SIE and S79 in one week each (so two weeks total) while also on the desk / staffed on a few live deals.
Spend one day blasting through the videos on 2x speed and then the rest of the days doing a ton of practice tests and you’ll be fine. I think I did like, 20-30-ish hours for each and passed without trouble
Doable, but you will absolutely will need to put in the grind. I did 79 in about 10 days, but put in hrs. SIE took maybe 8 or 9 days. 79 builds off of SIE in some chapters so that helps.
Would very much appreciate any thoughts on the STC material for the S79.
Did anyone take the S79 online - was it doable without having scratch paper?
Took the SIE, 79 and 63 all in one week. Studied for the SIE for ~5 days, 79 and 63 I literally just crammed the day before and morning of. Highly recommend not doing that as it was literally the most terrifying moment of my life when I hit submit and waited for the results, but managed to pass all 3 thankfully
You're definitely not screwed and the tests are much easier than the practices, but would definitely recommend you just focus over the next few weeks to prevent yourself unnecessary anxiety. As long as you devote a week to each you should be 100% good to go
Wasn't sure if this was me typing at first because this is EXACTLY representative of my experience including the cramming and the terrifying await of the submit...was so relieved when each one went through it was insane.
Potentially hot take but don't bother with the books. If you have the Knopman program just wear out as many practice questions as you can on the website. Once you start getting low passing scores on those tests, you'll likely be fine for the actual tests.
I'd agree with this by and large, feel like the biggest help are the practice questions and honestly reading through the key topics helps a lot.
Agree. The book is overkill, and since personally I’m a slow reader, it would cost way more time than it’s worth.
Adderall and you’re fine. Treat every night like a test and take a full practice test once at the very end of your day. Take each practice test seriously
Get up to 80% on them and you’ll be good to go.
i can't imagine being so dense that you need to take adderall to take what's essentially "finance for dummies, the test" for retards
The “finance for dummies” attitude is how people fail these tests.
Almost all of us are smart, and can pass these with a bit of hard work. But they are not to be glossed over or taken for granted.
