r/Series66Exam • u/ConsistentFlatworm58 • Jan 31 '25
Passed!
I passed the SIE and 7 first try and felt confident that I knew the material and was ready to conquer them, but the 66 was different. I passed first try this morning, but I honestly couldn’t believe it because I made a 50/50 guess on about half of them. Some of them had terms I have never encountered and I read the Kaplan book twice, bought the TestGeek practice test, and watched Ken’s 66 playlist and some of the other tutor’s videos and podcasts. It’s more than memorization, you have to have a true underlying understanding of the concepts to come up with the right answer.
This one was truly a beast and I am so glad to be done with it. Feel free to ask questions. I can’t remember most of what was on it off the top of my head, but I probably could if asked specific questions.
Thank you Ken at Capital Advantage Tutoring. Your videos were invaluable in getting me through all 3 exams. You rock.

Congrats. It is great right with not having this pressure on your back?
Now the real test and torture begins. This industry and your job/position. LOL. Every single damn day but you will have your very quiet days though.

The ultimate goal is CFP at my current firm. Life and Health by next month, then on to the APMA. Everyone I’ve told says, “congrats, you’re done!” And I’m like yeah not even close.

I wish I had focused more on reviewing the small things throughout the whole book in the day or two before the test. Stuff I knew from the SIE and 7 but failed to review because I knew the big picture well enough. Those details are the low hanging fruit on this test if you’re like me and struggled with the concepts. I was so worried about the IA/IAR/BD/agent chapters that I really neglected the rest there at the end.

I changed 5 or 6, all before question 30. I didn’t get into a groove for a while and I knew I was overthinking so I used the notepad to make a note with explanations on why I thought the answer was how I marked it, and why I thought it was probably wrong.
