I think they're aware that they are a public company now and are making money selling material and courses that are not adequate. Think its a coincidence that they keep pushing the test back?
Of course they're only going to waive those who are legal, not those who have lapsed. But if you passed it once, no big deal to do it again. IMO, Don
Actually Don, they are waiving a lot of traders who have had series 7's lapse. It's just that the lapse must be somewhat recent and and you must have a decent amount of experience in the biz.
Not sure who you are speaking to, but a majority of people I know who have had their 7 lapse recently and have good experience are getting waived.....including myself.
I called, and they may waive if only Cont Ed has not been done (as we do in most cases).. the do the Con't ed, all is good. I'm still not 100% on this, as I don't think they are, LOL. Don
Is there a question or two that you remember from the exam, or a strategy you could recommend for helping with the "sheer luck" part of the test? By the sound of it, every little bit could help, and possible mean the difference between passing or having to close out a trading account. Thanks very much!
CONGRATULATIONS 1Zach4 !! Would you mind sharing please? 1) What do you think made the difference for you? For instance, was there a particular section of the study material that you worked on, that you felt paid off? Or maybe a different test taking strategy that you used? Or something else all together? 2) What percentage of the 2nd exam was the same as the first exam? Were the questions "easier" the 2nd time? ( On my first try, I felt that many questions had more than one possible acceptable answer. ) 3) any other tidbit(s) of information would be GREATLY appreciated. many thanks!
