Series 79 Help

Hey everyone. Taking my series 79 in ~10 days. I've worked through about 9 out of the 13 chapters in Knopman Marks and am scoring 63-80% on chapter exams. On practice questions I'm scoring ~70%, and I know you need a 73% to pass. Pretty nervous considering i only have 10 days to learn 4 more chapters and consistently score 75%+. On certain chapters I feel like I'll read the book, do practice questions, and take the practice exam and score below 70, I feel like it's hard to retain some of the nit picky stuff.

A few questions:

  1. Does anyone have a series 79 cheat sheet? I might make one myself but know it will take a while. If anyone has any materials that significantly helped them, I would greatly appreciate it.
  2. Anyone take the 79 recently? How was it? Anything important to know, or anything unexpected?
  3. Any general advice for making the most out of these next 10 days (working full-time too, some days are harder to study for a while)

Any insight is greatly appreciated. Best of luck to anyone out there who is also studying for FINRA exams!
