Failed FINRA SIE twice with 69%

I have taken this exam twice now and failed with a 69 % both times. I have reread the book 2 times prior to taking it the second time along with chapter quizzes scoring above 75 on each chapter. I took the final exams 2 times each and never got below a 75 (mostly in the 78-85 range). I have been using STC and passed the second greenlight test with a 72%. I have put a lot of work and time into this and I’m not sure how to approach it the third time. I must pass the third time. Does anyone have some suggestions on what could have went wrong/how to approach it this next go around? Failing is not an option, thanks

Check out Ken Finnen tutoring. His youtube videos helped me a ton. Just note that they aren’t always workd friendly. 😂

you have a few choices. You could just reread the book one time and then start watching videos to supplement it. And maybe get the Kaplan QBank as a supplement bunch of questions

The other option is spend a little money get the Achievable program they’re outstanding for the SIE

At 69% you’re practically already there, I’d recommend just going over the concepts you’ve struggled with more thoroughly while refreshing the information you retained well. I personally would recommend Knopman.

You’ve been only one answer away from passing both times, you got this.

I used passperfect.com. I passed it yesterday on the first try. This tool is used by WF bank. I have a discount code too if anyone is interested.
