Failed the Series 7

Your sugar baby Jorbanna has failed the series 7! By just a few points!!! I have no finance background so this stuff is difficult for me. High yield bonds? Zero coupon bonds? Whether capital loss or gain is taxed? This stuff is new for me! What should I do? I used STC. Should I Get a tutor? Trying to pass the second time!! I will do ANYTHING I will not let this derail me!

Are you paying for this yourself? Knopman Marks is the best and their pass rate shows it (they will spoon feed to you) but they are $$$ unless your firm is reimbursing it. Don't take it again until you're getting like 90%+ on practice tests.

Bank gave me STC. Can I convince my bank to pay me for knock man ? I did look at the options for knock an article, and I was understanding it very well. STC some info contradicted the choices of the questions I saw on the exam. 

 

Bank prob won't pay for it but Knopman is only $400 (I thought it was over $1k but I guess that's for all of the tests) I would just do it out of pocket. As I'm sure you know you usually only get the second attempt and not a third, so I'd view it as an investment and really buckle down with it.

They have live virtual courses for more $ but you don't need it if you read the book, watch all the videos (take notes) and do a bunch of practice tests. Just need to put a LOT of hours in and be diligent.

Since you already have STC's book and you are only a few points from passing, you do not need an elaborate set of materials.  All you should get is the question bank from Kaplan.  You could buy it as a stand alone product for like $70.  You get over 3000 questions.  I am pretty sure Knopman uses Kaplan's qbank.  I just saved you a few hundred dollars:)   Good luck on the next try.
