How to pass the Series 3 Exam?

Hi WSO,

I am looking for the most applicable Series 3 study material and a process to go about it?

So far it seems like the IFM material is the most comprehensive theifm org/books/nfa-series-3-exam-standard-study-set

I know futures / options and regulatory are significant but want to know if others such as Kaplan or SecuritiesExam are any good.

I studied the 7 but ended up not needing to take it so I recognize the need to dedicate time to the material.

Thank you for your time.

 

I recommend Knopman for series 3 for sure. Overall the 3 is a simple test on some light futures math etc. Oh I miss the days of hogs and heffers.

I'm sure a lot of people will say the same but just sit down and take the time and grind out the studying. I did about 1month of studying about 3-4 times a week for a few hrs a day. Practice tests are always key.
