[quote=wind3574]Well guys. I’d have to disagree with you. I purchased a supplemental book that explains the information a lot better than the Jones material. I was able to understand the Jones material quicker by reading this book first. Saying that because i do not ONLY USE JONES MATERIAL i will never pass is a little un true. It’s good stuff, but it doesn’t always explain it in the best way… I don’t feel like anything is a waste of money, that helps me understand the material especially when i mention the book to my trainer and after se purchased it, she recommends it to my current classmates…as well as changes how she teaches…based off a few concepts in the book…There are better materials…I am just looking for some good supplementals.[/quote]

Wind, supplemental study material is good.  I was referring to paying for extra questions.  I still think EDJ gives you more than enough questions.  I myself purchased a financial dictionary which I found very useful during the study process.  Good luck.

Well…I feel like i could benefit from more questions. After all, i do have a good 3 week period after reading all the jones material, before i take the exams. It would be very beneficial to have extra tests to practice on.

Who says i have 2500 questions? lol…The Jones material has nowhere near that…Just the exams you take after the chapters…but then you have nothing to practice on…because you have already taken them…

Fire solutions was more than sufficient.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

I'm sure Jones' stuff is comparable.

 

I have always heard that mixing curriculum can actually be detrimental.

I was fine with STC. I kid you not, the 7 felt like “test 14”

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can get test questions on options and bonds from Johnson Lipman for $20.

And use investopedia to clarify topics you’re unsure about.

I seriously appreciate everyones suggestions finally. I was thinking about the Kaplan CD.

"I know guys with just a GED who at 18 years old simply took the stc enough times (about 7) which I am certain most the answers were memorized go and score mid 70s on the 7."   ================================================= Please give me more details on this.  Basically, you're saying all these guys did was take the class over and over again until they passed? Doesn't STC charge $400 everytime you "retake" their class?
