Have SIE in less than a week and I am not doing good on my practice exams.
At a firm using knopman marks. I skimmed the textbook a few weeks ago and did all of the videos in the past few days. I've also read the key concepts. I'm starting to take my practice exams and I am getting really low scores (in the 50s). Any advice on what to do?
Grind through 5-10 practice exams (1-2 days tops), rewatch videos (and really pay attention), grind through 5-10 more practice exams. I'd be quite surprised if you didn't pass if you did all this.
What should I do after taking an exam? Go back and reread the chapters that I struggled with or just go straight into the next one?
Took the SIE in June. Used Knopman to study as well. May I ask how much time did you have to prepare for the exam?
I’ve found that following the action plan worked well for me immensely. Practice exams are very important as well.
I took over 2000 of the Qbank questions and the real test felt quite easy for me. With your deadline coming up much sooner, my advice would be to drill the key concepts and take as much practice tests as you can, a trick I’d use was to write down the answers to the questions I got wrong, And then review them every night. So that this way any question I’d see that’s remotely close to the questions that I’d previously gotten wrong before, I’d have a pretty good idea of what the answer is.
Also make sure you’re reading every question and answer choice very carefully. Personally I’ve found that I’d score way lower on practice exams when I was just trying to answer as fast possible. Take your time, read every answer choice, and from that it should help boost your score as well.
Good luck! Remember that the Knopman exams are way more difficult than the actual SIE. So getting anywhere close to that 70% on the practice exams will mean that you have a pretty good shot of passing the real thing.
I used over 1000 practice questions as well. I found it really helpful to go into the individual chapters and just practice the ones you’re worst at. Get all your chapters up to 75% or so by running 20 question practices and you’ll be good. I studied for a month but only hit it hard for a week honestly.
