STC + Dearborn CD
14 RepliesJump to last post
Hi i got the new stc books + the dearborn cd. I want to be able to take
the test in 3 weeks. What would i have to do acomplish this that quick.
. I read the series 7 books before but 2003 edition, just been a while
just week in the major points like bonds, muni’s. options im strong in.
How do i approach studying it and how many questions/test do i do a day
? what way of studying works best on your own ???
Why do you want to take the test in three weeks? Do you turn into a pumpkin if you don’t?
yes i get a rolex daytona if i pass it in 3 weeks, lol.. no im kidding. I wanna knock it out in 3 week's that's my own goal.
That seems like an unrealistic goal. Sorry, but that is my true feelings.
I studied the books and cd for 5 weeks. We use Pass Perfect. Then I took the Dearborn class for 1 week (the Dearborn stuff is too easy). I passed with a 75.
I think that most people you talk to would tell you that 3 weeks is not enought time. Good luck.

Two very legitimte questions.
1. If you had PassPerfect books why did you take a Dearborn Class?
2. Why, after all that studying, did you score so low?
Hell, I studied for three freaking months. I got an 86 but it was almost full time studying for all that time.
If you can pass it in three weeks, maybe you should get a Phd so we can all call you Doctor Investment Rep. Let us know how it goes. Good luck.

Serious question.
Is it possible to pass Series 7 by not studying, but being lucky in guessing the answers?

Yes.
It isn't a yes or no question. It is a question of probability. Since you only have a 1:4 chance of getting a correct answer on a 4 choice multiple choice test, the odds are very slim, if you are truly guessing.
well my first practice exam after reading it through was a 70.
Now that I am going back through it and taking some notes on the stuff i struggled with.
It is a lot of material but it is not that hard to comprehend the basic ideas.
Can it be done - I say yes - 3 weeks - 7 days a week about 6-8 hours a day.

If you place a thousand monkeys in front of typewriters, and give them enough time and paper, one of them will eventually type the entire works of William Shakespeare free of any errors......
Yes.. I guess you already asked yourself..
Anything is possible, but you have a challenge.
The worse that can happen is you fail and retake in 30 days.. Ohh yeah and lose a couple of bucks.
Make it happen while others talk.
My experience:
I used PassPerfect for three weeks, then took the Dearborn class (week long class, ending on last Friday), and passed the exam with an 80% yesterday. I was studying seven days a week, at least five hours a day.
It was intense; if you have anything you would rather do (spend time with family, enjoy your summer, go to church) it is not a path I would recommend.
I did it because I am being paid to be in a training program that requires successful completion of the series 7 in four weeks; series 66 in three.
