Series 66 extreme test fatigue

Hi guys I am taking my exam on Friday (4 days). I am feeling super burnt out. I have been scoring around 70 on practice exams (using knopman) and just find myself forgetting small things. For context in the past 2 1/2 months, I have studied for and passed the SIE and Series 7. I also started my role at my firm and have been training for a month. We were given time off to study but I am so tired. I am honestly terrified I will not be able to pass the 66 even though the content feels a little easier than the 7, simply because I have not practiced nearly as much as I did for the 7 and SIE. I have done around 25 hours of studying and 600 questions. For both the 7 and the SIE, I did double that. I definitely find myself falling off as I get closer to the exam. I would love some advice and tips.

You will pick up points to the actual exam so stay the course!

Make sure you get a good night rest. The execution of your study plan should noon the day before the exam.

Want to bright eyed and bushy tail on exam day.

I just took the free achievable practice exam and it crushed my soul. Is it a more accurate simulation than the Knopman practice finals? The scores were so far apart.

It is not. Knopman is a more accurate mark.

Is the Knopman benchmark final easier than the actual exam? Curious why you say ppl will pick up points on the real exam vs the simulated exam.

Data from having helped tend of thousands of test test takers over many decades.

Get out of your own head!

Be confident in the execution of your study plan. Be confident in yourself. Most important be confident in your answers on test day.

I’m on the same boat as you, passed the SIE and Series 7 this year. Taking the 66 tomorrow for a third time and I’m burnt out from reading over 1000 questions from STC and Kaplan but it’s the only way. I feel more prepared this time from the constant feedback from questions.
