Use Pass the 7 book and practice tests from SCT or STC whichever. I hadn't taken a test in 12 years and studied for 5 days and passed easily.
You shouldn't even be thinking like this. Stop wasting time on elitetrader when you could be studying, spend 2-3 hours a day for a month and you'll be fine.
These kids nowadays, no one wants to work for anything, they all want the easy way out and everything handed to them
Take the cram course and do the mock tests over and over again till you get consistently over 90%. You'll get 70% on the actual test slam dunk.
There were guys at bright studying a week and getting high 90s. One guy just studing for the weekend and got something in the low 80s. He had traded options for several years which helped.
I am planning on taking the exam at the end of the month. I have the Series 7 progressive CD. What is better to pay attention to?? the CD or the written practice exams??
I was basically told "pass this or you'll be fired" so I read the book, and then spent the weekend before taking practice tests over and over. I got an 89. There is no short cut. Take a class too, it helps certain sections of the test. I wasn't a retail stock broker (which is what the test is clearly aimed at), so the test had zero relevance to what I did, but that didn't seem to matter. After you take it, you get to take (continuing ed) every 2 or 3 years too. Fun.
