Question! I take the series 7 on Monday. I’ve been doing ok/passing on the practice exams from knopman marks the last week or so, but yesterday and today I’ve made a 70 and a 60 on 2 practice exams. Should I try to push the exam back? Did anyone else use KM to prep?

Really important to have your concepts straight with the 7 because the questions are designed to trick you. They aren’t straightforward at all. I also scored in the 60s prior to taking mine the first time and I unfortunately did not pass. I wish I took the time to extend rather than having to study for a second time and pass then. However, if you don’t make it the first time atleast you’re aware of how the test is designed so you go into it the second time a bit more alert.

I averaged 62% on the qbanks, did about 1700qs and I passed! But I did understand the material, I just didn't know all the details about it like how Kaplan likes it

Assuming 70% is passing…Just remember that anything over 72% only demonstrates that you don’t have solid mastery of your time.
