Series 79 timeline

Hi, I just finished my S63 and now starting to study for the S79. I have until the end of June to complete the Series 79 while working full-time. Is this a reasonable amount of time to complete the material and pass by? How long would you recommend studying for this exam? I have taken some finance classes before and am using Knopman Marks. Thanks!

I completely agree. The SIE videos were so much more helpful in piecing all the info together for me. I spent way too long reading the SIE book as well. I think I'm going to only skim the 79 book chapter by chapter and then immediately after reading 1 chapter, watch the associated video. Otherwise, its just an info dump and I can't remember anything
