Series 7 Top-Off Exam

Has anyone taken the Series 7 Top-Off exam? I realize it is less than a month old, was curious if anyone has taken it yet and can provide some useful advice on the exam. Top-Off is the post Oct 1st 2018 exam, assuming you have passed the pre-req exam. Any advice helps, or useful links about the test. There is not much out there given how new it is.

Read through the Kaplan textbook twice, once thoroughly all sections, then focused on the tougher concept sections. Answered 1800 of the 2k+ practice questions and many exams. Felt extremely prepared. Unfortunately or not the new top-off 7 went into effect before I could sign up for the old one which was more broad / easier. Really drill down on the technical sections / suitability / munis (if you don't work in the space).

Prep time - one month of weekends & an hour or so a day depending on work capacity. Get to high 70s/low 80s on the practice exams & you should be good to go.

Good luck!
