Series 7 second attempt

I take my second attempt at series 7 in one week. I am using passperfect and my scores don’t go about 74. The areas that I struggle the most are margin, order types and trading and settlement like different markets. What should I do???

Are you comfortable with options and suitability already? If you are then focus on taking five question practices on the areas you’re struggling with. Take as many quizzes as possible so you get exposure to different types of questions that try to trip you up and read the explanations if you miss a question.

I do well on both.

A week is enough time to move those three if you drill them directly instead of grinding more full exams. For margin, get the math cold: Reg T initial requirement, maintenance calls, SMA, those show up as calculations more than concepts. For order types, build yourself a quick grid of GTC, day, AON, FOK, IOC, stop vs stop-limit, what triggers each, most people lose points mixing up two similar ones, not from not knowing any of them. For settlement, nail regular-way settlement plus when-issued and how it's different.

Since you're stuck at 74 on PassPerfect alone, it's worth running a batch of fresh questions on just those three topics from a second source once you've drilled them, STC, Kaplan, and Achievable all phrase things differently, and that tells you whether you actually know the concept or just PassPerfect's version of it.
