Just passed the 7, 66 next week

Been watching on here for quite a while, I would say since about fall of 2015. Reading all the different reactions to the Series 7, ranging from, and I quote here, "If you can fog a mirror, you can pass the 7" to "A decent work ethic and a mediocre amount of time will allow you get a passing score; keep in mind it is one of the harder series tests."
Imagine my discern when I was scoring low 70's on all my practice exams...I guess I wasn't able to fog a mirror...lol.

Regardless, one of the senior brokers told me to just go ahead and schedule an exam for two weeks from that day. Two weeks go by, pass with a 79%, not the highest but I don't mind much as it is only a pass/fail exam.

Going into the 66 next Monday, the 29th of February. Hoping the leap day can help me out with some luck. Any tips from anyone? All input is appreciated, even if you say that even a mouthbreather can pass the 66.

Cheers.

Used a variety of products. Firm gave me STC practice exams, I had Trivium test prep's book with 2 full-length exams (didn't find these all that helpful. Questions weren't too similar to the actual exam). I had a Kaplan series 7 exam manual (granted, from 2005). Also had a Barron's review supplementary book. Helped explain the exam manual material in layman's terms. And I used Invetopedia.com's quiz's and practice exam's on the 7 since they were free. Also had a study guide but I didn't pay mind to it.
