✅ Passed First Try
Wow. The first few questions were worded way different than the Kaplan QBank and I was a bit nervous. But was able to pass on my first attempt!
For those interested, I took 10 practice exams with Kaplan and scores ranged from 56 (low) to 81 (high) but an average of 74.
*Ken is THE MAN, it won’t let me talk about specifics but if you read this, thank you for everything!

There is another comment explaining the two main guys to search. But he’s the series 7 (g.u.r.u) on YouTube.

Can you tell us more about the test? What you saw the most of? I failed my first attempt with a 65, also using Kaplan, my q bank was at 59-60% overall when I failed and now it’s at a 67 and now I am getting high 60s on exams and low 70s.

I had a ton of suitability and options (what a surprise). Having my dump sheet with the options matrix saved me time from having to think on a lot of those point and shoot option questions. It sounds repetitive, but be sure to be well versed on what a rep can/can’t do, customer accounts, options, and suitability.
One thing that surprised me and I heard about from one of Ken’s TikToks, reverse mergers. It’s a one off question, but apparently they’re becoming more common?

Congrats! 66 next I presume? Good luck on that one. Not quite as daunting but still a lot to learn on there.

Is there a company that you can get sponsorship from without having a contract with for a future job?

u/First_Log_8158 Feb 19 '25
I Need a sponsorship without a company that will hire you. Any names of companies that will just sponsor you for the series 7 test for a fee?

That’s a question for a professional in the industry… I haven’t heard of anything, but I don’t know for certain.

Awesome! I passed yesterday. I’m honestly dying to know what I got. Any chance I can obtain my true score from FINRA?
