whats the renewal fee? and if i leave the firm, does it expire? and if so, would i need to take the exam again if i were to join a firm later on? thanks
Not sure about the renewal fee. The 56 lasts for two years since the day you pass. If you leave a firm, they will "U5" you which means you are free to join a firm later on, and go through the "U4" process again, without having to take the exam, as long as the license is active.
The fact that you passed is your first step to financial independence. It means you can short most stocks, get awesome leverage and if you blow your account, you wont need $25K to PDT.
I am selling my Pass Perfect manual. I used it last December and passed my first try with an 83%, well above the minimum. I will include several study guides, some of which I made (one for options) and the others were given to me.

I took it Saturday and failed with a 62. Kind of sucks, but I obviously didn't prepare enough. I actually saw this thread Thursday evening and started doing a lot of practice exam questions and studying but wasn't enough. I had taken the series 6 before and passed that pretty easily. I had used the CBOE materials which was good. Planning on getting the Passperfect, and just study!
I had ordered the course in June. I didn't track it, but I listened to the recorded sessions and read thru the materials. Now that I'm thinking about it, all total, less than 40 hrs, more like 30 if that, but that's a guess.
What recorded sessions? If you can provide me with a link to recorded sessions it would be greatly appreciated. I am studying now for the series 56. I'm trying to give it at least 3 months of heavy studying before testing.
