I passed my series 7 on my first try! hard test x me, Im not a RR or sales person. After clicking the exit button (before my results were shown to me) I promised God I was going to share my experience w the world.
Here u go: * lots of variable annuities (suit. x elderly/young etc) * lost of preferred stock q. * parity convertible p. stock * commercial paper/acceptance! (easy * brokered CDs * 1,000M (need to calculate something w 1,000M! no idea * options x US exporter * options focused only on straddles and spread (bullish/bearish) * compare interest rates (from prime rate to call rate) * official statement timing * what is the market x currency exchanges * ADR holder pays foreign tax? * cooling off period timing, etc… I’m remembering the easy ones,cannot quite remember the difficult ones…overall, difficult test, had to guess in at least 10 q, they throw things at u that I never read (I read 2 books!) or they have 2 very close options to choose from. Glad it is over. No more tests x me, that is it!
I studied for 6 months on and off (bcs of biz travels and nice weather and an awsm boyfriend that kept me busy ;D Read 2 books: STC and Kaplan, did all the kaplan chapters practice tests (70-80% scores) never took the final mastery test on any (STC or kaplan) I was afraid a bad result would hurt my confidence. U need some confidence on the day of ur test. Listen to an Eminem song or practice kick boxing the day before.
I punched like a girl and I beat the crap out of this awful test! D-O-N-E…moving on to bigger, better things in Life!
