I passed the SIE and 63 easily, legitimately studied for 4 days and passed both of them easily, took me 20 minutes per exam and left that centre with a smile from ear to ear.
now, I have been studying for the 79 with KM but I absolutely suck at everything. 4/5 days in and I am scoring 60% all the time, sometimes get lucky and score higher.
does anybody have any tips? I do not want to fail, I worked too hard to get here

Maybe try studying for more than 4 days this time
Of course, only logical — the point was more that I am not picking up as fast as I did on the previous exams so I am worried
When’s the exam?
In about 2 weeks
Dude, you have time
Just watch the videos, take notes, and do many practice questions
