SIE in 3 days: am I ready?

Hey guys, 

Taking the SIE in 3 days, consistently scoring 85-87 in full-length mock tests (knopman marks). Still feel I am way too conformable with the format of knopman marks and heard the actual format of the exam is very different (I have been focusing more on drilling questions than understanding the concepts in great depths). Will I be fine? Pretty nervous and would greatly appreciate any advice/recommendations. Thank you.

You will be fine. I full sent the SIE only getting 70-80 on practices and passed the exam not knowing the wording would be so different, but I passed and figured it out during the exam. Good luck!

 

how long have you been studying? im also prepping for sie through knopman and hoping i can get ready in 10 days or so.

ahve you also been using the textbook mainly or watchinv videos and doing questions without much textbook use?
