Incoming Equity Research Associate - Series 7, 63, 86, 87 Exam Study Materials - STC? FINRA? Mometrix?

Hey Everyone,
I'm a newcomer to Equity Research and will have to complete the Series 7, 63, 86 and 87 exams coming up. Does anyone have experience and recommend specific study materials they used?

I've heard people using the STC materials for the 86 & 87 and sometimes for the 7 & 63 also. All of these seem to add up in cost doing it this way.

I've also heard people just using the FINRA materials for the 7 & 63 from older threads and being able to pass.

Are these still relevant? Wasn't sure if the exams have changed much in the last 4-5 years.

Also - has anyone used Mometrix? (https://www.mometrix.com/studyguides/series8687/).

Just wanted to see what you think the best study materials are for each exam.

Thank you! Cheers
