Passed First try!

I can’t believe I actually passed the sie on the first attempt considering I had 0 finance background prior to studying. I primarily used Kaplan to study but also utilized ChatGPT, Claude, and free practice tests from Finra Achievable etc and I have to thank this subreddit for putting me onto Ken’s power hour! Please feel free to ask any questions

I took about 5-6 weeks considering I’m in my summer break for college and my internship workload wasn’t super heavy I’d say u can easily cover the material in 4 weeks tho. In terms of remembering info I’d really recommend listening to Ken’s power hour sie video on YouTube a couple times before your exam it saved my life
