SIE
Have been struggling a little bit with SIE for my job at a BB. Stuck in the 60s and can't seem to pass (Knopman Marks). What should I do?

1. You’re going to be fine. The SIE is a breeze. Are you following the action plan? And are you doing the blended classes or all on your own. If blended, you need to reach out to your instructor.
First, throw away your book, the time for reading that has passed.
I was in your position and what I did was rewatch the videos on the sections I was getting sub 70% (on 1.25 speed), starting from my worst sections, while taking handwritten notes. Then read the class summary section. Then take the chapter quizzes. You should be able to get through each chapter + questions in under 1.5 hours and score over 70% on the practice quiz. Do this for your 3 worst sections, then take a q-bank exam and you should pass with flying colors. And then read the class summary again. Then just keep doing Q-bank exams and following the action plan.
There is a practice test on Finra’s website that is very similar to the exam. Take that the day before your test to understand how the questions are structured. They don’t have any of the I,II, III, IV questions that I found the hardest.
I hope this helps! You will crush it! Aim for a 77 on Knopman exams and you’ll feel like you over studied when you take the actual exam.
I have been skimming the textbook for the sections I do poorly on. I will try to switch it up per your suggestions. Following action plan all online.
Yeah get rid of the book. I’m doing a blended course with Knopman for the 79 and they said the time for using the book is over.
Another thing I found helpful was reading the class summary out loud. Go with your gut, don’t change any answers unless you are 100% confident. Finally, idk why but I found it easier to have the answers off when doing qbank exams (I always found the first questions the hardest and it destroyed my confidence)
your tips were magical. Quite literally applied them immediately and I got a 75 in my qbank exam.
Gonna try and do a couple more and hopefully hit those marks, but damn this feels great
Congrats! Good luck! I’m glad they helped. You’ve got this.
What % of questions have you answered so far? Taking practice tests is by far the best way to learn the material. Took me until I was through the 50% mark until I really started getting 70s/80s consistently. I did another 10% or so and felt like it was breeze. Knopman Qs are def harder than FINRA's Qs on the SIE.
Lol, I am at the 800 question mark which is why it is slightly frustrating as Knopman said you should be good by a 1000 questions
That's out of like 3k total questions tho right? 1000 sounds like cap lol. Just keep grindin
