Hey everyone - I have my S79 tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knew how close it is to the Knopman material. I scored 80-82 on the 2 benchmark exams and they said i should be fine but just wanted to see if anyone recently took it.

Bump kinda freaking out
You'll be fine. Don't sweat it and make sure you show up to the right place
How difficult is it compared to knopman exams? I’m pretty good at most thing but always get anxiety when I don’t know an answer lol
Practice material is always harder.
Knopman practice exams are harder so you’ll be perfectly fine. I was scoring in the 60s on knopman and ended up doing really well
Thanks! That’s good to know. I did well on the sie and thought knopman was harder but I’m just a worst case scenario type of person
Let us know how the exam was. Also scoring low 80s on Knopman materials. IMO their prep stuff isn’t all that great. Hope you killed it!
Just got done (literally sitting in my car outside the testing center). I think you’ll be fine. If you’re good at technicals (accounting, comps, etc) I wouldn’t even study it. I passed but I wasn’t sure if I would. It’s SIGNIFICANTLY harder in the beginning than the end so just keep your confidence and you’ll do fine. I thought it was harder than knopman and the language is a little different. They use less straightforward language I guess. I had to reread a few questions to understand what they are asking for.
