Iceco, thanks alot man its great to hear someone that used the same material did really well on the test. My buddy who works on the exchange who tutors and has every license under the sun said the same thing about Kaplan. Their practice tests seem to be  harder than the actual exams. Hopefully this holds true for me as well. I did well on the 7 with an 81 and intend on doing well on the 66. If that holds true in regards to the practice tests I should be fine. I did a few more just now and was getting in the mid 80s.

  And to the gentleman taking it tom good luck and come back on and let me know how it was!!!

I sure I will get flamed, but I don’t care… I failed the 66 today getting a 68%.



This test is very difficult! Who ever takes this test in the future don’t underestimate it. In my opinion this test is more difficult then the 7. Its not the material that is hard, it how they ask questions and you have to pick the best answer(there can me more then one current answer). There were many answers that I could argue that was the right answer, but there was a MORE right answer. Very difficult test. Now I have to take it in a month!

Ryan, sorry to hear that. I don’t think you’re alone though. I’ve heard of a lot of people struggling with the 66. What study program did you use and how did you do on the practice tests?

I feel for Ryan and nobody should say anything about him failing. Gotta just do it the next time. Im just hoping that I pass this thing monday. Ryan just wanted to know how many practice tests were you doing per day and how many book sources did you use. I read two books for the 66 and I have up’d my practice tests to 6-8 per day with Kaplan. Im in study mode like I was with the 7, just gotta bear down and do it.

  Also right before I took the 7 I woke up extra early did a practice test and did a bonds test. For the 66 going to do the same with a practice test and then do 50 questions on State Regulations and another 40 on Registration of IA. Then head on the train and hopefully rock this damn thing.

Hey Ryan, I passed with a 77. You were right the test was hard and I was sweating bullets when I hit that button. I truly wanted to break 80 and rock it but as you stated, some questions you had to distinguish between two very similar answers.

  I think going into the final 20 questions I was down!! But I slowed myself down and really beared down and did what I had to do. The Kaplan CD will def help and let me recommend another training test you can download onto your PC or Laptop. It is Securities Institute of America, their simulation tests are difficult and a great prep as well.  This is my buddies company go to www.wallstreettutors.com and you can download for like 45 bucks. Def worth it along with the Kaplan CD.   GOOD LUCK in 30 days and you will pass!!!
