”Can I take the exam if I am not sponsored?
You must be sponsored by a FINRA member firm in order to take the actual examination.
How does the difficulty of your practice questions compare to the difficulty of the questions I am likely to see on the actual exam?
The Practice Exams questions are slightly more difficult than the actual exam, so you should be scoring in the high 60s/low 70s online before taking the exam. The diagnostic exams are the same level of difficulty as the actual exam, so any passing score on those exams is good.
How many questions should I complete on the Practice Exams before I take the exam?
You should plan on completing about 1000 practice questions online, plus the pdf exams, prior to taking the exam. If your scores are not within passing range at that point, you may need to complete more questions.
How should I incorporate the pdf exams into my prep?
There are four pdf diagnostic exams that you can download from the training center. These exams should be staggered with the Practice Exams so that for every 250 questions you complete online, you complete one diagnostic exam. The diagnostic exams are very close in difficulty to the actual exam, so they should be completed closed book in one sitting. You should not do any of the diagnostic exams until you are within two weeks or less of taking the examination. You should complete the benchmark exam 2-3 days before your scheduled exam date.
How soon after the class should I take my exam?
If you come to class having read the material you should give yourself about one week to complete practice exams after the conclusion of the program before taking the examination. If you have not read the material before coming to class you will need more time after class ends.
Should I expect to use the full time allotted on the exam?
Most students are able to finish the exam within the allotted time, without being rushed.
Should I read the book before class?
Though it is not mandatory to read the material before coming to class, doing so will enable you to reinforce the concepts discussed in the book. If you have not read the material prior to class you will need more time after class to prepare before you take the examination.
What is the usual study time for this exam for the typical student?
Assuming you are working full time while preparing for the examination, you should allow yourself two to three weeks to read through the material and another one to two weeks to complete practice exams. You should attend the live class, watch the online video lectures or receive private instruction while you are reading the material or immediately after reading the material. The total study time is typically five to seven weeks while working full-time.
