Gets asked a lot sorry, but any recent 79 takers?

Any insight appreciated, using knopman and averaging 70-78% on qbank exams. got a 70 flat on final benchmark, so not sure if I am ready at all. Buddies told me lots of fairness opinions, equity research/IB interaction/restrictions, exempt transactions.

Worried about the math part, even though I know there are only maybe 5-9 questions on math. I don’t want to waste time studying harder ones that take time to perfect, anyone have insight on what I Should focus on for math? Feel like enterprise value calculation, EPS, things like those I should focus on. Thanks so much guys.

 

Did you score 70 on your first try? If so you're in a good position.Each exam is going to be different.

You might get more math/technical questions, M&A deal process questions or regulatory questions.The best thing you can do is focus on your weak points and review them several times until everything starts making sense.

FYI: the wording on the finra exams are a bit different from the practice exams from STC/Knopman. So make sure you truly understand these concepts, because finra loves throwing trick questions at you.Hope this helps

 

thanks so much. Yes I heard knopman is a bit different than the real test, which makes me really nervous. What in your opinion is the best way to amend this, like you said truly understanding the concepts and not just memorizing qbank answers? How would you reccomended truly understanding them, the key concepts is probably really helpful

for that right? Anything else? Thanks !
