I studied for 5 weeks and I took the 1 week class.  Passed with a 75%. 

PUT, THAT IS NOT A MORON THAT IS A REGISTERED REP!!!!!

My instructor of the class, who knows more than Put, said that a 70 is all you need, and I agree.

Where is the pride in doing the minimum, slacker?

Dang, and he missed out on the bigger paycheck  by spending the time  he COULD have invested in aiming for 100% on his Series 7 in something wasteful, like learning how to market himself....

Is your point of view that people who are marginally intelligent are capable of being good at marketing themselves?



Tell me, do you find it amazing that a guy who could score no higher
than 75 on Series 7 also holds an MBA in finance and economics? 
Wonder what diploma mill that “degree” is from?

Here's a term for you to go look up; " "non sequitur"  .

I wonder if it's the same diploma mill you got your Masters from.

See, Put, you assume he "could score no higher", when it's very possible he's smart enough (unlike you) to know there's no reason to spend time beyond "passing" on this exam when there are many far more important things to master before you go into production.

Why do you continually equate intellect with test scores on the Series 7?

It becomes clear to even the most casual observer that you are one of those professional test takers who scored high, or maybe even aced the series 7 (the high point of your life, obviously), but are a complete boob when dealing with the investing public.  This would account for your present position as a glorified clerk, despite your protests to the contrary.

You fools constantly talk about doing “just enough” as if that was
something to be proud of.  You just don’t get it, winners do not
do just enough.



Tell me Stan, how does somebody know when they’ve done "just enough?"



From where I sit when one establishes their goal to do just enough
there is a great chance that they will make a few mental errors and end
up failing.



Somebody who got a 75% missed 62 questions–if they had missed a dozen more they would have failed.

Put's like the touring golf pro who never makes time to get to the practice range, but he's proud of how well the pockets of his golfbag are organized....

What is a professional test taker?

When the report for the Series 7 says "passed" on it. Take the study time that would have increased your passing score to 100% and invest it in things that will actually help you be successful, like learning about marketing, your firm’s products and investment strategy.

There’s a great deal of  knowledge required that the Series 7 doesn’t come close to touching. Training to enter the business is like drinking from a fire hydrant. There are massive amounts of info to master and your time isn’t unlimited. If you’re someone like you, who can’t seem to determine priorities, you’d better learn how quickly, and apply your limited time wisely.

 

 I’m well over a decade in the business and I can’t remember the last time I had to detail for a client the Tax Reform Act of 1986 or manually determine margin requirements, but I sure was required to for the Series 7.

As is usually the case, you have once again confused form and substance.  You've undoubtedly saved up for an Armani suit because you once heard that, "clothes make the man".  You're a pseudo-intellectual to the last, Clerk Boy.

You disgust me.

I'm new to this forum, but let me tell you...

It makes me laugh to see Starka & Put go at each other.  I think we need to get some boxing gloves and sign it up as pay-per-view.

Thanks guys, I needed a good laugh today!!!

exEJIR: You are right.  That is why this forum is so interesting.  I enjoy reading the fighting back and forth.  I must be sick.

It seems to me that there are some people that can be very successful in their careers but they are not good at taking tests and there are some people who are just naturally good at studying and taking tests.  I don't think making a good score necessarily means you will be successful and vice versa.  Of course that is just my opinion.

As I said before I'm not a broker, I just work for one.  So - my opinion may not mean much. 

I do enjoy reading all of your posts!  You guys crack me up!

I've got a good one when Put posts something intelligent and insightful. 

~Sigh~

I don't think I'll ever get to use it.
