Does anyone have experience with this course?
They give you the textbook and tell you just to read it without taking notes.
They give you the class lectures and say that you should watch those and take notes - I've done all the videos and have taken detailed notes. I've reviewed notes each day before continuing. I feel like I know the material very well.
Then, I start trying to take the practice exams and I swear, I feel like some of these questions are just either not covered anywhere in the videos or completely contradict things he said.
Like I specifically recall him saying 7% is the number for FINRA determining net proceeds in an IPO. Even stressed 7%. Then I get a question like this:
Some of them are just written in a way that's like - come on man. For example:
Like I know there's the noisy withdrawal and the due diligence defenses for liability. None of these answer choices are anywhere in the video lectures and the question almost seems intended to be vague.
Just so frustrating b/c now I'm wondering if I need to go back to the text book and take notes on that since so many of these questions are testing details that go beyond what was mentioned in the video lectures.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience with this? Are the real test questions going to be like this or are these designed to be harder than the real exam to make sure you are passing these before you take the actual test?
Just do the practice exam and watch videos. No need to read textbook.
Yea but theres constantly material on the questions that are not covered or at least barley touched on in the videos.
The videos have the more heavily tested material. During training they straight up told us not to read the book. I never unwrapped it.
maybe I'm just dumber than I give myself credit for but did you find yourself not fully equipped to answer a lot of the questions they pose in the test prep section based on just the video lecture material?
The book is a waste of time. Watch the videos (and don’t watch the long financial one, go into supplements and choose the condensed version. I don’t remember the name but it’s like 2 hours and 42 minutes long)
Take a full q bank exam with questions you’ve never seen, answers on.
Take your worst 3 sections percentage wise and go watch the videos again. Then do q bank quizzes targeting just those sections until you get 75%.
Go do another full q bank. Repeat the above steps for your new worst sections.
Rinse and repeat and you pass a full length exam. Then, take an exam without answers on. If you pass that, take the final assessment and then go take the real 79. You don’t need to know everything. I personally never bothered learning WACC or anything technical. I skipped almost every math question on the exam. Remember, all you need is a 73, don’t shoot for 100$
Not constantly. Just a few.
Don’t sweat this. Everyone can get it passed so long as they do enough questions. Trust the fact that you’re smart enough to get an offer and this is way easier.
I passed the test last week. Just do 1,000+ practice questions and you’re good. At first you’ll do shit, but your score will creep upwards. The day before my exam I was getting 85-90% on practice exams, versus like 60% for my first test.
The test is also pretty easy based on the sheer amount of questions you can get wrong. Forget the textbook, skim the videos, and do questions. You’ll be fine.
