How are you all staggering 63 and 79

Start FT in less than a week, I haven’t really touched either book as I have been busy moving and graduating. That being said I am going to start cranking these out but unsure which exam I should start with. Any advice?

Both need completed within 60 days of hiring

For what it's worth, I have only taken the 7 & 63, but from start to finish, the 63 only took me 2 weeks and I passed it. It's pretty basic info, just don't fall into any traps on the test and you'll be fine. Should give you plenty of time leftover for the 79

 

Took 79 after 4 days of studying and passed. You definitely don't need 1.5 months to study for it, and no one in my group failed. 1.5 months might be bad because you'll start forgetting stuff at some point
