one week for the series 79?

I probably foolishly spent too much time working on the firm's training materials for the actual finance part of the program and now I have only one week to study for the 79. Is it as daunting as the threads from 2010 claim? We're going to a firm-sponsored class all week, and I will obviously spend a lot of time practicing at night after class too... Is there any hope?

Bumping this. Taking the test at the end of August and haven't done any prep so far.

Also: Taking this without a formal prep class.

Ok, thanks guys.
