I am taking the SIE on August 20th, and I have already purchased the Kaplan SIE prep course but have heard mixed reviews about Kaplan. I hear Knopman is much better. After already spending $150 on Kaplan, would it be moronic to now buy the Knopman course for $260, or is it not that much more beneficial?

Assuming you are fresh out of college 0 need to also buy Knopman, realistically you should pass without additional prep even. However I would agree Knopman is the better program and most firms will give it to their analysts to prepare for the 63 and 79, but for the SIE just use what you bought and you’ll be good.
SIE is easy, just hammer practice questions. Kaplan is fine.
are you a student?

Took it my junior year winter and started from scratch. Kaplan was good but the practice questions weren’t really like the exam. Take multiple practice exams a day towards the end
Dude it’s the SIE… any resource will work
Thanks dude
Dude are you dumb? A middle schooler can take it and pass. Why are you worried? Take whatever and pass. Don’t see why you MS’d me
The SIE is easy. If you have time, study for the 7 and the 79, those are a lot tougher
For the knopman SIE course I heard something about an exam voucher code they give you once you complete enough practice exams or something like that. Can anyone confirm that this is true bc if so the $260 price tag for the course becomes much more reasonable since you would not have to cover the $80 for the SIE
My prep was sponsored by my bank, so take it with a grain of salt, but I received a voucher after I think 700 practice questions and getting above 75s or so on the Benchmarks and Diagnostics. I got a 94 on D1 and 88 on D2 I believe? SIE really isn’t that hard, a handful of questions that don’t make sense at all, but you can literally miss 18 questions and still pass. Also would recommend watching YouTube practice exam walkthroughs if you want to feel a little less anxious/more prepared
