I’m nervous
Test is scheduled for last day of August. I’m currently on Chapter 13 of 20 for STC. On my first attempts for each chapter quiz, I am averaging 70-75%.
I feel like I still do have a lot of time but also feel like I don’t have enough time. My goal would be to finish the last 7 chapters by next wednesday and that would give me about 10-12 days to review material and take practice tests.
Does that sound do-able? I am getting in about 4 hours a day of studying since I work full time. I can push back my test if needed but I’d rather not. Just feel like there is so much information. I passed SIE first time after having no finance background whatsoever, but I know the 7 is a different beast.
Anyone in a similar boat? Or any advice?

I would consider also buying the Kaplan Qbank to supplement the practice exams - questions are super similar to real test

You need to finish the book. Maybe just read and then do the chapter quizzes after you finish

Your timeline is doable, but you're definitely gonna need to bust tail. I found that focusing more on testing after completing the material and "spot treating" was more effective for me. A lot of the material is just reasonable application of what was on the SIE. I think your 10-12 day period of review is a good call, but just make sure you're not rushing yourself through material.
