S79TO Advice

Non-econ liberal arts major here that landed an IB gig.

I started my prep for the S79 about a week before formal S79 training for my firm (with Knopman), which starts next Monday. I scheduled the exam for the following Friday. I feel pretty confident with the qual stuff already (exemptions/regs/research and IB, etc.). Yet, the valuation section is fucking me on the practice exams, which accounts for 10-15% of the exam and can be gimmes.

Should I reschedule my exam for 7/17, or do I have enough time to prep along with 30 hours of Knopman S79 training (three days), to be ready by next weekend 7/10?
