Passing the Series 7 Exam

By Nick Hunter


Passing the Series 7 can be a challenge for most and many times it is because students do not practice with enough difficult practice questions to pass the test. Failing the Series 7 exam can also come down to not using the right study material or simply not studying enough. The best way to pass the Series 7 is the work the practice tests until you score consistently in the 80% range.

You do not want the actual exam to be much harder or any harder than the study questions you were practicing. To pass the series 7, you simply need to be battle hardened with accurate and plentiful series 7 test questions.

The test has 250 multiple choice questions, so you want to have enough practice Series 7 tests. Not having enough exams to practice with can lead to failing the exam.

A big mistake when people do not pass the test is they try to memorize or get "puffed up" practice scores because they got too familiar with their practice Series 7 questions. Although the better training programs provide tough questions, no one really knows what's on the Series 7.

Students today use online courses or CD software with practice tests to pass the Series 7. The exam is given on computer, so this can help you when you go in the testing room. There should be a large list of questions in the software and have chapter subject sections.

American Investment Training has a regularly updated 7000 question hard drill CD for the Series 7.

Learning the concepts of the questions you get wrong while studying can be helped by reading the correct answer explanations. Being a trainer myself, I even want students to read the full correct answer even if they guess it right.

One technique I always advise is writing out the correct answer explanation if the question was answered incorrectly. I is also good practice to write out the explanation in a notebook as this can serve as a good note to study for future questions.
