Taking my Series 79 soon. What type of questions are heavily tested and what should be avoided in studying? For people who have passed, what were your exam scores on training materials?
Any help would be appreciated.

Took it recently. Was scoring mid-high 70s on knopman exams. My weakest area were the regulations (reg D, A, 144 etc). TBH there weren’t a ton of those questions on my 79 for whatever reason.
I did 700 of the knopman practice Qs. Can’t remember what areas were drilled hard on the exam.
How many math questions did you get asked? Would you just say to study the summary materials and take practice exams?`
dude it's such a meme lmfao, after 1000 questions from Knopman or anything else, you pretty much just can't fail cause you've essentially seen them all
How much studying is usually enough for the 63? Studying for it now and it seems like the Qbank only quizzes on a very few amount of concepts
There are literally dozens of threads already on these exams. I feel like people make a new one every 2 weeks when a new person needs to take one. Please use the search function - people ask about tips, etc. all the time.
Took you way longer to type that out than it would’ve to just scroll past
