ruclips.net/video/7d30UYwp2sY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/hI3T3cVMWTw/видео.html are the other two popular videos for day before of morning of test.
Just a quick debrief for anyone who’s interested - Options is definitely the most widely tested topic on the exam. You need to know EVERYTHING - A good amount of questions on what a registered rep can and can’t do. Know the rules and regulations - Know all the formulas. I had about 10 math questions. They’re all easy if you know the formulas. - Suitability is big on the exam as is what risk is associated to what security. - The judgement questions are a pain in the ass. The best advice I can give is use the “reduction of the ridiculous” method - Lastly, very light on margin. I had literally two questions. One theory, one basic calculation. - Every other question was a one off so just know as much as you can! Hope this helps!
I wish I read this comment before I went in for the test. I honestly think I got 30+ on mathematical options and that was the only topic I went into really light and goofball -ish and failed with a 71
I passed my series 7 on Monday, Dean. I just wanted to say thanks. Watched this video before and it definitely helped and got me in the zone. I wanted to let you know that you single handedly changed my life. All from what you’re doing on this RUclips channel. Thanks again, series 7 guru.
Howdy Dean. I passed my series 7 today. I've used your videos for supplement for about a month now. Thank you for every word, strategy, solution, resource.....just Thank you times a million! And remember folks, don't be a dumb bear! Lol
Hey Dean! Had my series 7 test today. It was no joke! A lot more difficult than I had even expected. I passed! Options lectures, Tips and Tricks multiple times, Series 7 in 60 minutes, I really believe this video, watching it 3-4 times helped push me over the edge. There were numerous times during the exam where I could hear you encouraging me and reminding me how to answer the questions. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! Always very gratifying when my videos contribute to test taking victories like yours. What's your next testing victory? 63? 66?
Dean, dropping a comment here to express my gratitude to you. Took my Series 7 this morning and passed on the first attempt! I stumbled upon your page about a week ago, and crammed a ton of your lectures in. They were BEYOND helpful and exactly what I needed to fill in the blanks for what I wasn't getting from my test prep materials. Your lectures on options made a foreign concept to me actually make sense. The test was probably 75% options and I don't think I would have gotten through the problems without you introducing the T-chart method. Your expertise helps test takers in such a profound way. Ready to queue up your materials for the 66! Grateful for what you do, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Hey Dean! Thanks for all you do for this community. After a year of studying on and off, I got into gear and passed on my first attempt this morning. Your videos overall, especially the crash course playlist, were instrumental. So happy to have this one behind and ready to tackle the 66. Enjoy some adult beverages on me!
Dean, I took my exam this morning and passed. I truly appreciate all the effort and time you spend making these videos. They were helpful in my studies.
@Series7Guru Dean - thank you for your service on multiple fronts good sir 🇺🇸📈 got through the 7 today and like many here, felt compelled to come back and express my gratitude. Merry Christmas and God speed 🍻 3 Top Line Reflections from Series 7 12/2024 1. Yes options 2. Product knowledge matters a lot. We know that. So does suitability. Dean has a video on it, watch it. 3. What Dean says “Read The Full Question” what he’s really saying is “Read The f*CKIN Question” Read it. Carefully!
Dean, I’m typically not one to comment on any videos, but I just need to thank you. I passed my 7 this morning and watched this video on my way to my exam. Your videos are big reason why I passed!!! THANK YOU!
Another pass thanks to the Guru!! Just to help debrief.. failed first with a 70. I got the same question on both tests - about companies deciding between lifo or fifo when considering their products during a time of inflation, not sure I knew it either time to be honest. Can’t thank you enough for the incredible work you put in and your dedication to educating this industry. On to the 66.
Kudos on your testing victory! See you on the 66 playlist. Thanks for the superchat. Will use to hoist an adult beverage in honor of your testing victory!
Hey Dean, passed my series 7 yesterday on my third attempt! What a breath of fresh air! Thank you for all the videos and classes. BULL- Because ur long the lower strike… came in clutch memory aid on the exam yesterday. Your voice was descending on me throughout the test. You the man!! On to the 66 I go!
Thanks dean! Just passed today after watching this video the morning of my exam. Also used all of the other crucial lectures Dean has on his page. Thanks for making a difference in my studies. 🎉
Dean, Passed my SIE a month ago and then passed the 7 this morning all thanks to you! This 60 min recap was clutch the night before my exam. Thank you for all your content!!
Dean!!!! I passed! Thank you! I took the Series 7 this morning and wanted to let you know YOU are the reason why I passed! You are an incredible teacher and all of your stories make a huge difference in making the concepts stick! I'm sitting at Panera Bread right now getting ready to watch your Series 66 playlists. Thanks again!
Thank you, Dean Tinney. Your videos were very helpful as I prepared for the Series 7. I passed the exam. I don't think that you fully realize how much you are changing peoples lives by sharing these video lectures. Keep up the great work! I'll be sure to recommend your channel to anyone I know who needs additional support studying for the 7 and beyond. All the best.
THE SERIES 7 GURU! Dean, thank you for all of your informational videos. A colleague of mine referred me over to you after passing his series 7. I used the Kaplan Q bank and your videos and passed my series 7 today, first try!!! Couldn’t thank you enough. Thanks to you I have now passed my SIE, Series 7 and Series 66!
Dean!!! I just passed my Series 7. I’m 2 for 2!! Thank you so much for all the help. Your 1:1 tutoring and RUclips videos truly were a game changer! Enjoy your time in Mexico. All the best, Cian.
Big thanks to you, Dean! Just passed my 7 today, and your video was a huge help this morning. Really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my comments and actively help out!!
Dean you are HIM. You were a great help with getting me across the finish line with my series 7 test. I just passed today and feel great. Thanks for your help
Dean- I wanted to personally thank you for the videos and the time you have put in for us test takers! Today I part ways, and can finally say I am a registered financial advisor! You were there for my SIE, 66, and 7 victory!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I will see you when i’m ready for the leadership licenses. 🥳
DEAN!!!!! You SAVED me!! Your videos are the reason I was able to pass the Series 7 exam on my first attempt this morning. I cannot thank you enough for everything that you do for us test takers. Hopefully I can be as knowledgeable as you one day! Your explanations, real life examples and humor are what helped me understand the dense material. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Dean, I commented on another video two days ago saying I was nervous I hadn't given myself enough time to study (about 2 weeks total), and I took my test yesterday evening. I PASSED!! WOOHOOOOO!! I feel like I definitely got a tricky draw, I took every second they gave me but managed to pull it off, and that's mainly because of you! All I did was watch your explications, 2 or 3 lectures, 2 or 3 of your memory aids and this one, and about 450 questions in the Kaplan Q Bank and managed to make it happen! I will be sure to take the time to drop a like and comment on lots of your videos starting now through when I take 66 in a couple weeks and share your channel with everyone at my office. I have already sent your channel link to my supervisor and asked her to share it with our entire team. Thank you for all this amazing content! I could hear you saying your reminder for DEW, "when you're wide like Dean, exercise" in my head when working on spreads it was awesome lol. The teeter totter method for remembering bond rates was huge too. Thanks Dean! You're the man!
Kudos in your Series 7 testing victory! Always very gratifying when this channel contributes to test taking victories like yours. See you on the 66 playlist
Dean, thank you. You have helped me pass my Series 65, SIE, Series 63 and Finally series 7!!!!!! All in that order. I passed the S7 couple days ago and your videos were essential to me passing. Especially this video. You are the real deal.
Hey Dean just wanted thank you so much for everything that you do. I passed my 7 today because of so many of your videos and that allowed me to help others in my class pass today. Honestly your videos were more helpful than the 2 vendors I have!
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! What's your next testing victory? 63? 66? Always very gratifying when this channel contributes to test taking victories like yours and your classmates
Dean, I know I speak for everyone when I say your content is invaluable. Just passed the 7 this afternoon, and I just wanted to thank you for all you do for us test takers. Your content really helped push me over the finish line when I felt lost!
Just passed the 63 as well, a short 9 days later. Your playlist was super helpful in getting through the content with a solid understanding. Thanks again for everything!
Thank you Dean for everything you have done! Proud to say I have just passed my SIE, 63, and 7. I couldn't have done any of this without you! I appreciate all of the time and effort you put into this channel to help many people succeed. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone taking these tests. THANK YOU!
DEAN!!! I just passed my Series 7 on my second attempt! Yahoo!!! I utilized your content heavily in the preparation for my exam this time around; it was a terrific complement to my vendor study materials and tools. I appreciated your wisdom and wit as we waded through the volumes of content. Thanks for your help on my professional journey! See you over on the Series 66 playlist next!
This video is pure gold!! Listened to it on the way to my test today!! Passed first try! I know it helped me recall at least 3 questions on the test. If you listen to Dean and put in the work, you will pass. The content is exactly the percentages Dean suggests. Lots of options, munis, suitability, know the math. The test is no joke and stressful, but the material is finite. Know the exceptions and put in the work and walk into the test with confidence. Don't give up! Good luck everyone. Dean, thanks for this video and the channel. Appreciate the help big guy!!!
Hey Dean, just wanted to say thank you for all that you do! Just passed the 7 today and I couldn't have done it without you and a few others here on RUclips. Please know that you deeply appreciated by myself, along with countless others who are in the beginning stages of their finance careers. On to the 66! THANK YOU!
Dean, just wanted to pop in and say thank you for your channel. I just completed my triple crown. Your channel has been exceedingly helpful along this journey. Plus you introduced me to Brian’s channel and his materials made the extra difference in my passing the 66. Thanks so much! I am recommending your channel to the other folks I meet going through the process. Cheers!
Hi Dean, I'm sure this is just one of the many comments you receive, but I cannot thank you enough for making these videos! I passed my Series 7 on my first try this morning and I 100% contribute that to you, your teaching style, and tips and tricks for remembering tricky topics. Thank you x 1000000 !!! If you're struggling with Series 7 content or maybe don't come from a finance background (like me) these videos were an amazing supplement to my paid materials from my firm that really pushed my understanding over the edge. Thanks again Dean, I couldn't have done it without you!!
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! What's your next testing victory? 63? 66? Always very gratifying when my videos contribute to test taking victories like yours.
Your videos are a great help! I couldn’t imagine repeating the same material over and over again but thank you, Dean! Passed my series 7 and wouldn’t have done it without you.
Passed my series 7 today and so much of it is thanks to THE Series 7 guru. Listened to this on my way to my exam as well as the explications and lectures in the weeks leading up to the exam. Thank you so much Dean! On to the 66 and yes I’ll be watching those videos too!
Wanted to come an comment my thanks like many others have! Passed the 7 on the first go around yesterday and your content greatly aided in that! I watched this video the night before and listened to it the morning of just to make sure my head was on straight going into the exam. The other series 7 videos you have helped me improve on my weak points more than reading it over and over. Thank you again!
@Series7Guru Already have the 63! Next up is either going to be the 65 or possibly 9/10 depending on career pathing, but many months out from that still!
Passed my Series 7 yesterday thanks to you and your content. Test takers- continue to watch his videos and you'll be more than prepared to do well on these exams. Thank you Dean for your efforts into your content!
Thanks, Dean! I went through Kaplan, but you were the one who really pulled it all together for me. I sit for the 7 today - here's hoping it all equates to a pass. 😊
Hey Dean, I passed my Series 7 exam today. I found your channel about 4 days before my exam and boy am I glad I did. You present the material in your lectures in such an understanding way that the book fails to do. I had to drive from Phoenix to tucson to take the exam so I listened to this on the way! Thank you so much and I’ll be back here for series 66 help!
Dean, I passed my 7 on 6/5/23 on my first go. This video was critical in calming my nerves prior to the test. This definitely contributed to my success. I urge anyone watching prior to the 7 to take what he has to say into consideration, thank you for posting these videos.
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! What's your next testing victory? 63? 66? Always very gratifying when this video contributes to test taking victories like yours.
DEAN!!!!! I cant thank you enough for all the time and energy you put into this channel, it is by far and away the best supplemental aide!!! I passed my 7 today on the first try! I would have not been able to do so without your channel, along with the purchased study materials from your dear friend, Brian Lee! Yall are truly the dream team!! Merci mon ami!
I passed the series 7 today!! I’m currently enrolled in a program with training consultants and my weekly check-in group recommended your videos! I watched the 60 min video last night and that put my mind at ease for my test this afternoon. I also watched one of your other videos right before I went in. Thanks so much! Onto the 66!
Dean, I want to start off by saying thank you so much for creating all of these supplemental videos for the Series 7, it helped tremendously and I am happy to say that I passed the exam this morning/afternoon. Thank you for all the hard work you have put in to create these videos as well as the time in takes to commit to students and this channel. Your work is much appreciated and I could not have passed the Series 7 without your videos to supplement my studying efforts. If there is any way I can show my appreciation please let me know because I am happy to do so and I feel I owe it back to you and everyone else who may be going through what I was going through a couple weeks ago. I have to give credit where credit is due and you are the man for that! I am looking forward to tuning back in while I study for the Series 66. P.S. I attended the live instructor courses with Mark Esposito from Kaplan and he was happy to have heard your name come up as someone the students use for additional study efforts. Just thought you might like to know since he said you both know each other. Thank you, Parker Glasser
Thank you Dean. Passed my 7 today. I have and undergrad in finance, an mba, and a few other certs. Even still I don’t think I would have passed the 7 or the 66 without your videos. These are by far the best securities videos out there. Way better than Kaplan or anything else. If I could give my advice to anyone about to sit for the exam watch the “day before” video, series 7 math, and suitability. Suitability was a game changer.
I wanted to add that the way you clarify the topics is great. The real world examples make it memorable, and I finally understand spreads and straddles.
Dean, I wanted to send a quick note of gratitude for you and your RUclips/Spotify content. I passed the 7 today and your content was a critical supplement to my study prep. Keep up the good work and thanks again!
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! What's your next testing victory? 63? 66? Always very gratifying when this channel contributes to test taking victories like yours
I never comment on RUclips videos, but I passed my Series 7 yesterday and I want to say thank you! Your lectures helped me SO much! I used your channel for the SIE and the 7 and you are definitely the reason that I passed. Onto the 63 and then done!
Thank you so much for uncloaking to comment. It means much more when test takers like you do so. Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! See you on the 63 playlist. One more testing victory to complete your test taking/registration hat trick! You got this!
Just wanted to pass along my thank you for your time, expertise, and content! You provide such a great wealth of content and I must say it is entertaining and insightful. I just passed my 7 today and can't even comprehend the hours of content I soaked in on commutes and as a supplement to my materials. Thank you! I will say that I took 20 minutes completing my data dump sheet when I sat and ended up not needing any of the items except for maybe the teeter toter & BLiSS. I was confident going in but really felt like I got a death draw as everything was just scenario after scenario it seemed. I feel like I was just begging for more bond math calculations. :) Thank you for all that you do!
Thank you Dean!! I just passed my 7 today! It’s been a long long testing journey and you have helped me every step of the way. This is the biggest weight off my shoulders and your videos are a big part of what helped me. THANK YOU!
Dean, I passed the 7 today (first time)! I greatly appreciate all the time and effort you spend helping this community. You helped me really solidify my options and product knowledge. I started with you on my SIE and plan to join you again for my last battle (the s66). Again, thank you!!
Dean, just want to give a huge thank you. I passed my 7 today on the first try and I can’t describe how accomplished I feel. So many of my videos were a huge supplement to my materials and I wouldn’t have made my mark without you. I definitely had a draw close to a “face of death” but I survived. Like you have said in a video or two in the past.. definitely not a “stock brokers exam”. Tons of bond content. Onto my 66 and planning to immerse myself in your lectures. Thank you
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! Always very gratifying when my videos contribute to test taking victories like yours. Series 66 videos will do same.
I have no idea if you’ll see my comment but here goes! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I passed my series 7 exam today!!!! I’ve studied non stop for a little over a month and a half using STC and to complement my studies, i watched your entire series 7 playlist. I was feeling a bit anxious because I have always been a horrible test taker, and my company requires me to pass on my first go (failing is a big no). but I didn’t give up, and kept watching your videos!! the way you would explain the answers in the explicated practice tests videos were super helpful!!! And I listened to the audio of this video earlier this morning on my drive to the exam. Thank you so much for truly helping so many of us.
I see and respond to all comments. Kudos on your Series 7 exam testing victory! Always very gratifying when my videos contribute to test taking victories like yours.
Thanks! Hey Dean I would like to take the time out to thank you for all these videos you post, specifically on the series 7 and how detailed you are in making this material so much easier to understand. I took and passed my series 7 exam today and let me tell you I was not feeling very confident as recent as Sunday, so I spent the entire day on Monday watching a number of your videos and yesterday (yes the day before the exam) is when I really started understanding orders among a few other topics enough to be confident. You gave some great pointers such as Slobs/ Bliss, CAL, DEW, CEN, AAA, etc. which helped me more than you can imagine. I know you mentioned in one of your videos that you would not spend too much time worrying about orders and those topics due to how thinly they were likely to be tested but my thought process was that those few questions could be the difference between a pass and a fail so I watched and took away as much as I could before listening this last video on the way to the exam. You played a huge role in my exam success and I would like to let you know that I will be forever grateful to you. Keep up the great work and I will be telling everyone about your work who is willing to listen. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I will now focus my energy after a days rest on your series 66 content if there is any. Have a great one.
KUDOS on your Series 7 testing victory. What's next? 63? 66? Always very gratifying when my videos contribute to test taking victories like yours. Thank you for your kind motivating words and the referrals. Love referrals!
Hey Dean, I just passed my series 7! Had only one week to prepare the first time and failed with a 64. Took it a second time (I really wanted to reschedule it that time lol) and failed with a 71 which was so painful. And finally passed this third time!!! I watched this video right before I went in and it was a great refresher. Your videos on combination options and munis also really helped me. Also the pneumonics like CAL, DEW etc are SO helpful! Thank God I didn't waste too much time on margins bc I really don't think I got any questions on that. For any future test takers out there I would say use kaplan and STC if possible (I think they both serve a purpose), do lots of targeted custom exams, do at least 10 practice exams, watch Dean's videos for help with things you don't understand, watch his function 1-4 videos to make sure you know all the sections tested on the exam and watch this video right before your exam. I would also say to wait till you're scoring at least 70-75 to take the exam if possible. SOOO glad to be done! On to the 66 and I'll definitely be watching your videos for help with those laws.
Dean. Thank you so much for being my teacher these last few months. I just passed my Series 7 and couldn’t have done it without your videos and guidance. Thanks!!
Hi Dean. Today I took and passed the 7. Your tricks and pneumonics made a big difference, in addition to the other courses. Loved the Dean Exercise Wide (DEW) comment. I listened to this lecture in my car on the way to the testing facility, and even walked into the center listening to you. Note to candidates: Application of material in real situations is key, everything builds upon itself to the point the concepts become intertwined, so don't skip anything in the basics, that knowledge builds upon itself like a pyramid--the foundation is critical. I would like to suggest to others that benefit from these awesome lectures, provide a token of your appreciation to Dean. The course lectures you get with the big firms help, but Dean brings it together and simplifies it and makes it real. I appreciate you, Dean. Thank you, my friend.
Passed my test this morning! Thank you so much dean! I watched your videos everyday including this one this morning. Was my third attempt. HIGHLY recommend people to watch as many follow along practice exams on deans channel and something I did different this 3rd time was take so many practice test questions leading up to my test until my brain fell out haha. We be coming back to the channel for 63 now.
Hi Dean! I passed my Series 7 today on my first attempt. You played such a huge role in my success and I'm very grateful for your videos. I watched this one each day for three days leading up to the exam. I feel like it kept me sharp. On to the 66! 🥳
Dean, I can not express enough how helpful your videos were. They were crucial for me to pass my Series 7 and 66 back in January. I've been a Series 6 + 63 advisor for a few years prior to this so reading the test prep books, watching your videos, and the real life experience made the tests much more bearable and less anxiety inducing. Also, shout out to Brian for some of the videos you collaborated with him on for the Series 66!
Passed today, you're a legend Dean our whole firm goes directly to you for all things licensees lol keep being great appreciate you! May start up the 66 content soon but gonna kick my feet up and relax today
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory ! Always very gratifying when I contribute to testing victories like yours. Thank and your firm for the referrals.
Dean!! I just wanted to pop in and say THANK YOU! I passed my series 7 yesterday. I truly appreciate all your videos. They helped me so much!! Keep it up and know what you do matters! Thank you again for everything! I'll be back for my 66. Thank you again!
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! One more testing victory to go. You got this! Always very gratifying when my videos contribute to test taking victories like yours
Thank you Dean for all of the videos you put out, especially this one. Passed my Series 7 exam this morning and couldn’t have done it without your videos. There was a lot of questions revolving around the theory of debt when it comes to what happens to a debt instrument when another debt instruments interest rate goes up/down, price of it up/down etc. I also got asked about CDOs, dividend payout ratio, effects of interest rates on CMOs, and multiple questions about UITs. For everyone out there, know the ins and outs of every debt instrument!
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! What's your next testing victory? 63? 66? Always very gratifying when this video contributes to test taking victories like yours.
Dean, thank you very much for everything you do! Just passed my series 7 this morning & it was no joke. I seriously credit your videos to a large part of my learning. For anyone sitting soon for the 7, from my experience: • listen to Dean & don’t overdose on Margin - had two questions max. • Options, as expected, are heavily tested • Suitability is another heavy section, where you’ll have to be able to know what a registered rep can/cannot do It’s a big reading exam, so be ready. Finally, push through your study efforts and stay focused during the exam. It’s difficult, but be disciplined and read everything thoroughly! Thanks again, Dean!
Passed the Series 7 today! I’m 2-0 on the way to 3-0. Thank you Dean for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. And for providing great supplements. Onto the 63!
Hi, I just wanted to come back and thank you for this video and your countless other lectures. I used your material for both the SIE and 7 (and passed both on the first try- SIE in September and 7 yesterday!) in addition to PassPerfect and just want to thank you for everything you do. This video was perfect right before my exam and got me thinking as I was driving there, so thank you so, so much for this. I tell everyone studying to come check your videos out, and will continue to do so. Thanks again!!
Hi Dean - thanks to your Series 7 lectures and this video review this morning, I was able to pass the 7 today. Really appreciate the time and effort you put in to making these. On to the 63, thanks again!
Kudos on passing your Series 7 exam! One more testing for the test taking/registration hat trick. Always very gratifying when my videos contribute to test taking victories like yours.
Dean! I wanted to give you a huge thank you! I watched your videos for my SIE and my Series 7 and went 2/2! Passed my 7 last Friday. Couldn't have done it without you!
Dean - you are the real deal and an unsung hero. I came across your videos - watched them the night before and morning of, and you hit some of the major topics on the head! The perfect way to get in the zone. Your brief overview of options made things click. You’re doing amazing work! Cheers from VA!
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! What's your next testing victory? 63? 66? Always very gratifying when this video contributes to test taking victories like yours.
I’ve had a RUclips account since the early 2000s and have never once made a comment, however, this definitely merits one. I made a first attempt at the 7 in 2020, where I felt confident going in but realized quickly that the test looked completely foreign to me and that the study material I used was very out of date. Fast forward to present, I did my second attempt (felt like a first though) and used your videos to supplement my Kaplan book. Your explanations made ALL of the difference and I attribute my pass to you and your channel! I have already referred you to many colleagues, and will definitely utilize this channel for the other licenses I’m studying for this year. Thank you again!!
Dean - I'm back from the front line, and, I passed! I could not have done this without you --- your attention to detail, how you communicate the concepts so clearly, all of it, was a tremendous help. This may take a moment to spell out, but, I hope you don't mind --- I'll share with anyone who comes across this post what my experience was. Also, I will stress and underline that this was MY experience --- if you are preparing for the 7, please note that your test will be largely dependent on your draw of questions, even though there may be a similar balance questions per topic area. At any rate --- here are my take-aways: 1. Holy Smokes Batman - Options. Options. Options. --- concepts and applications, sure, but calculations, my scratch sheet had T-charts all over it. I was calculating break-evens, P&L, etc., what felt like all test. 2. Suitability. Good grief. My test had a windfall of questions in the suitability space --- especially as it pertained to new investors, and, investors at or near retirement. 3. I did not have a lot on direct participation, much like Dean had mentioned --- not a lot there, not a lot on margin, a few, focused on min. maintenance. 4. Did I mention Options ... 5. Finally, there were more questions on customer accounts than I was prepared for --- and, what felt like very niche areas of customer accounts. I would stress brushing up on customer accounts, and, even though there may be conceptually more difficult areas, this is not an area to sleep on. 6. Finally, bonds, yes, there were bonds, and, less calculations on bonds (there was a little of that), but, my draw was hung up on muni's more so than corporates, or even govn. securities. Ok, that's all, apologies for the length. Again, I'll stress that this was my draw, and yours may be different. Thank you again Dean for all your wit and wisdom along the way. Have a drink on me.
@@AmpWin1 yes I did! It was a death draw for sure. I pretty much got the same combination of questions that you have mentioned above. Lots of Options and suitability and debt security questions. Very few on margin ,DPP’s and communications.
Hey Dean, I passed my Series 7 this morning on my first attempt. I truly can’t believe I did it, especially at 22 years old, and I owe the majority of my success to you and your content. I finally get to leave Series 7 fantasy land. Keep up the great work, on to the 66!
I just passed my 7! Wanted to show my heartfelt thanks for your prep materials. They were a lifesaver. For anyone testing soon, they tested heavily on options and suitability! Thanks again Dean!
I just passed the 7 first time. I was suggested this video by a friend for the night before and I do think this is an excellent refresher. In my case the majority of questions were about customer accounts and options.
Im going through the STC program and your content is really solidifying the material so it's fully sinking in. I just passed my Series 7 today! Thank you for great content! Now on to Series 66!
Dean you’re the man! This video is everything before the exam! I just passed my Series 7 !! So excited and can’t thank you enough for the great videos you provide us!
Thank you for your content, Dean! I passed my series 7 yesterday with help from listening to this on the way to my testing center. Best content outline/recap I've found by far. You're really making a difference out here to us test takers! Keep up the great work.
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! What's your next testing victory? 63? 66? Always very gratifying when this video contributes to test taking victories like yours
@@Series7Guru Series 66! I have my study materials already and I'm getting started as soon as the work day ends. Thank you for the kudos. 3/4 exams done, one left. Home stretch. I'll be watching your s66 videos here soon.
I passed my 7 this week! Listened to this the day before and on the way to the exam. I also used to 60 minute video you did on the series 65 and passed that one as well. Thanks, Dean! These videos are proven to be helpful
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for your videos! I passed my Series 7 yesterday! It was my second attempt after getting a 71 the first time lol redemption felt great! Thank you again for all the knowledge!
Thank you SO much Dean! I passed the Series 7 today! This was my second attempt. On the first attempt I used the program from my employer and I was not prepared. I was told to check out your videos and you provided so much clarity! I also watched this particular video yesterday and this morning and it really did help to put me in a Series 7 mindset. Next...63!
I passed my test on Saturday and I don't think I could have done it without your take and presentation of the material. Lots of Options/hedging, quite a bit of what a rep/firm can and cannot do, GNMA, CY... Going with your gut answer was something that stuck with me! On to the 66 now! Thank you so much for all you do!
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory! What's your next testing victory? 63? 66? Thanks for the shout out and paying it forward with this your victory post and debrief.
DEAN! You did it again, your videos were the key to me passing my Series 7 today. Thanks for being a legend in this space and sharing your wisdom with the world. 2 for 2 with your help, now onto the 66. Planning to take it in March, so I’ll be jumping into your 66 playlists tomorrow.
Dean my boy-- just passed my 7, u got me through the SIE, 66, and as of an hour ago the 7. All first try. You really have a gift for making this stuff palatable, and I've sung your praises to everyone I've met. Thanks again, couldn't have done this without you.
Dean, I passed my Series 7 yesterday and it’s without a doubt because of your videos! They have been so helpful! I’ll be having you come along on my next journey the 66.
Just passed my series 7 yesterday!! Thank you for all your help, Dean. I watched this video probably 4-5 times this week and got a lucky draw where everything you touched on was asked! I will be back this fall for my 66!
I passed my Series 7 today and I absolutely owe it to you!!!! I will forever be grateful for your lectures and explications. You are doing a great service. Thanks!!!!!
ruclips.net/video/7d30UYwp2sY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/hI3T3cVMWTw/видео.html are the other two popular videos for day before of morning of test.
Just a quick debrief for anyone who’s interested
- Options is definitely the most widely tested topic on the exam. You need to know EVERYTHING
- A good amount of questions on what a registered rep can and can’t do. Know the rules and regulations
- Know all the formulas. I had about 10 math questions. They’re all easy if you know the formulas.
- Suitability is big on the exam as is what risk is associated to what security.
- The judgement questions are a pain in the ass. The best advice I can give is use the “reduction of the ridiculous” method
- Lastly, very light on margin. I had literally two questions. One theory, one basic calculation.
- Every other question was a one off so just know as much as you can!
Hope this helps!
Thanks for paying it forward with this post.
I wish I read this comment before I went in for the test. I honestly think I got 30+ on mathematical options and that was the only topic I went into really light and goofball -ish and failed with a 71
That’s interesting I had some people tell me they had maybe 8 or 9 option questions I guess it’s luck of the draw but better to be prepared
I passed my series 7 on Monday, Dean. I just wanted to say thanks. Watched this video before and it definitely helped and got me in the zone. I wanted to let you know that you single handedly changed my life. All from what you’re doing on this RUclips channel. Thanks again, series 7 guru.
Kudos on passing your Series 7 exam. Very gratifying that this video has been so helpful to so many so quickly.
How long did you study for
This worked. I studied. Watched this. Then passed my test. Thanks Dean!
Lots of good feedback on this little ditty. Thanks for tip! Woohoo.
Howdy Dean. I passed my series 7 today. I've used your videos for supplement for about a month now. Thank you for every word, strategy, solution, resource.....just Thank you times a million! And remember folks, don't be a dumb bear! Lol

@Series7Guru my series 63 journey starts tomorrow and I will be using your content for supplement. Will also like each video
Hey Dean! Had my series 7 test today. It was no joke! A lot more difficult than I had even expected. I passed! Options lectures, Tips and Tricks multiple times, Series 7 in 60 minutes, I really believe this video, watching it 3-4 times helped push me over the edge. There were numerous times during the exam where I could hear you encouraging me and reminding me how to answer the questions. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory!

Dean, dropping a comment here to express my gratitude to you. Took my Series 7 this morning and passed on the first attempt! I stumbled upon your page about a week ago, and crammed a ton of your lectures in. They were BEYOND helpful and exactly what I needed to fill in the blanks for what I wasn't getting from my test prep materials. Your lectures on options made a foreign concept to me actually make sense. The test was probably 75% options and I don't think I would have gotten through the problems without you introducing the T-chart method. Your expertise helps test takers in such a profound way. Ready to queue up your materials for the 66! Grateful for what you do, THANK YOU!!!!!!

Hey Dean! Thanks for all you do for this community. After a year of studying on and off, I got into gear and passed on my first attempt this morning.

3 Top Line Reflections from Series 7 12/2024
1. Yes options
2. Product knowledge matters a lot. We know that. So does suitability. Dean has a video on it, watch it.
3. What Dean says “Read The Full Question” what he’s really saying is “Read The f*CKIN Question”
Read it. Carefully!
Kudps!!! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the shout out, the superchat and paying it forward with this your victory post and debrief.
Dean,
I’m typically not one to comment on any videos, but I just need to thank you. I passed my 7 this morning and watched this video on my way to my exam. Your videos are big reason why I passed!!! THANK YOU!
Thank you for doing so! Kudos on your testing victory!
Another pass thanks to the Guru!! Just to help debrief.. failed first with a 70. I got the same question on both tests - about companies deciding between lifo or fifo when considering their products during a time of inflation, not sure I knew it either time to be honest. Can’t thank you enough for the incredible work you put in and your dedication to educating this industry. On to the 66.

Dean,
I commented on another video two days ago saying I was nervous I hadn't given myself enough time to study (about 2 weeks total), and I took my test yesterday evening. I PASSED!! WOOHOOOOO!! I feel like I definitely got a tricky draw, I took every second they gave me but managed to pull it off, and that's mainly because of you! All I did was watch your explications, 2 or 3 lectures, 2 or 3 of your memory aids and this one, and about 450 questions in the Kaplan Q Bank and managed to make it happen! I will be sure to take the time to drop a like and comment on lots of your videos starting now through when I take 66 in a couple weeks and share your channel with everyone at my office. I have already sent your channel link to my supervisor and asked her to share it with our entire team. Thank you for all this amazing content! I could hear you saying your reminder for DEW, "when you're wide like Dean, exercise" in my head when working on spreads it was awesome lol. The teeter totter method for remembering bond rates was huge too.
Thanks Dean! You're the man!

Kudos on passing two tests. Your Series 7 and a test of your resiliency!
This video is pure gold!! Listened to it on the way to my test today!! Passed first try! I know it helped me recall at least 3 questions on the test. If you listen to Dean and put in the work, you will pass. The content is exactly the percentages Dean suggests. Lots of options, munis, suitability, know the math. The test is no joke and stressful, but the material is finite. Know the exceptions and put in the work and walk into the test with confidence. Don't give up! Good luck everyone. Dean, thanks for this video and the channel. Appreciate the help big guy!!!

Dean,
I want to start off by saying thank you so much for creating all of these supplemental videos for the Series 7, it helped tremendously and I am happy to say that I passed the exam this morning/afternoon. Thank you for all the hard work you have put in to create these videos as well as the time in takes to commit to students and this channel. Your work is much appreciated and I could not have passed the Series 7 without your videos to supplement my studying efforts. If there is any way I can show my appreciation please let me know because I am happy to do so and I feel I owe it back to you and everyone else who may be going through what I was going through a couple weeks ago. I have to give credit where credit is due and you are the man for that! I am looking forward to tuning back in while I study for the Series 66.
P.S. I attended the live instructor courses with Mark Esposito from Kaplan and he was happy to have heard your name come up as someone the students use for additional study efforts. Just thought you might like to know since he said you both know each other.
Thank you,
Parker Glasser
Kudos! Yes, Mark are friends. Glad you got him as your instructor
Thank you Dean. Passed my 7 today. I have and undergrad in finance, an mba, and a few other certs. Even still I don’t think I would have passed the 7 or the 66 without your videos. These are by far the best securities videos out there. Way better than Kaplan or anything else. If I could give my advice to anyone about to sit for the exam watch the “day before” video, series 7 math, and suitability. Suitability was a game changer.
I wanted to add that the way you clarify the topics is great. The real world examples make it memorable, and I finally understand spreads and straddles.

Just wanted to pass along my thank you for your time, expertise, and content! You provide such a great wealth of content and I must say it is entertaining and insightful. I just passed my 7 today and can't even comprehend the hours of content I soaked in on commutes and as a supplement to my materials. Thank you! I will say that I took 20 minutes completing my data dump sheet when I sat and ended up not needing any of the items except for maybe the teeter toter & BLiSS. I was confident going in but really felt like I got a death draw as everything was just scenario after scenario it seemed.

I’ve studied non stop for a little over a month and a half using STC and to complement my studies, i watched your entire series 7 playlist. I was feeling a bit anxious because I have always been a horrible test taker, and my company requires me to pass on my first go (failing is a big no). but I didn’t give up, and kept watching your videos!! the way you would explain the answers in the explicated practice tests videos were super helpful!!! And I listened to the audio of this video earlier this morning on my drive to the exam. Thank you so much for truly helping so many of us.

Hey Dean I would like to take the time out to thank you for all these videos you post, specifically on the series 7 and how detailed you are in making this material so much easier to understand. I took and passed my series 7 exam today and let me tell you I was not feeling very confident as recent as Sunday, so I spent the entire day on Monday watching a number of your videos and yesterday (yes the day before the exam) is when I really started understanding orders among a few other topics enough to be confident. You gave some great pointers such as Slobs/ Bliss, CAL, DEW, CEN, AAA, etc. which helped me more than you can imagine. I know you mentioned in one of your videos that you would not spend too much time worrying about orders and those topics due to how thinly they were likely to be tested but my thought process was that those few questions could be the difference between a pass and a fail so I watched and took away as much as I could before listening this last video on the way to the exam. You played a huge role in my exam success and I would like to let you know that I will be forever grateful to you. Keep up the great work and I will be telling everyone about your work who is willing to listen. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I will now focus my energy after a days rest on your series 66 content if there is any. Have a great one.

Hey Dean, I just passed my series 7! Had only one week to prepare the first time and failed with a 64. Took it a second time (I really wanted to reschedule it that time lol) and failed with a 71 which was so painful. And finally passed this third time!!! I watched this video right before I went in and it was a great refresher. Your videos on combination options and munis also really helped me. Also the pneumonics like CAL, DEW etc are SO helpful! Thank God I didn't waste too much time on margins bc I really don't think I got any questions on that. For any future test takers out there I would say use kaplan and STC if possible (I think they both serve a purpose), do lots of targeted custom exams, do at least 10 practice exams, watch Dean's videos for help with things you don't understand, watch his function 1-4 videos to make sure you know all the sections tested on the exam and watch this video right before your exam. I would also say to wait till you're scoring at least 70-75 to take the exam if possible. SOOO glad to be done! On to the 66 and I'll definitely be watching your videos for help with those laws.
Kudos on hitting a walk off home run in your third at bat! Thanks for paying it forward with this post.

I listened to this lecture in my car on the way to the testing facility, and even walked into the center listening to you. Note to candidates: Application of material in real situations is key, everything builds upon itself to the point the concepts become intertwined, so don't skip anything in the basics, that knowledge builds upon itself like a pyramid--the foundation is critical. I would like to suggest to others that benefit from these awesome lectures, provide a token of your appreciation to Dean. The course lectures you get with the big firms help, but Dean brings it together and simplifies it and makes it real. I appreciate you, Dean. Thank you, my friend.
Kudos on passing your Series 7 exam! Thanks for the shout out.
Passed my test this morning! Thank you so much dean! I watched your videos everyday including this one this morning. Was my third attempt. HIGHLY recommend people to watch as many follow along practice exams on deans channel and something I did different this 3rd time was take so many practice test questions leading up to my test until my brain fell out haha. We be coming back to the channel for 63 now.
Kudos!!!!!
Hi Dean! I passed my Series 7 today on my first attempt. You played such a huge role in my success and I'm very grateful for your videos. I watched this one each day for three days leading up to the exam. I feel like it kept me sharp. On to the 66! 🥳
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory.
Always very gratifying when this video contributes to test taking victories like yours.
Dean, I can not express enough how helpful your videos were. They were crucial for me to pass my Series 7 and 66 back in January. I've been a Series 6 + 63 advisor for a few years prior to this so reading the test prep books, watching your videos, and the real life experience made the tests much more bearable and less anxiety inducing. Also, shout out to Brian for some of the videos you collaborated with him on for the Series 66!

Thank you Dean for all of the videos you put out, especially this one. Passed my Series 7 exam this morning and couldn’t have done it without your videos.
There was a lot of questions revolving around the theory of debt when it comes to what happens to a debt instrument when another debt instruments interest rate goes up/down, price of it up/down etc. I also got asked about CDOs, dividend payout ratio, effects of interest rates on CMOs, and multiple questions about UITs. For everyone out there, know the ins and outs of every debt instrument!
Kudos! Thanks for paying it forward with this your debrief
Thank you so much for this! Watched this review this morning and passed my Series 7 a few minutes ago!

@@Series7Guru Thank you! And Series 24 is actually up next.
Dean, thank you very much for everything you do! Just passed my series 7 this morning & it was no joke. I seriously credit your videos to a large part of my learning.
For anyone sitting soon for the 7, from my experience:
• listen to Dean & don’t overdose on Margin - had two questions max.
• Options, as expected, are heavily tested
• Suitability is another heavy section, where you’ll have to be able to know what a registered rep can/cannot do
It’s a big reading exam, so be ready.
Finally, push through your study efforts and stay focused during the exam. It’s difficult, but be disciplined and read everything thoroughly! Thanks again, Dean!
Kudos and thanks for the shout out and paying it forward with this your victory post and debrief
Passed the Series 7 today! I’m 2-0 on the way to 3-0. Thank you Dean for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. And for providing great supplements. Onto the 63!
One more testing victory to complete your test taking/registration hat trick!
You got this!
Hi, I just wanted to come back and thank you for this video and your countless other lectures. I used your material for both the SIE and 7 (and passed both on the first try- SIE in September and 7 yesterday!) in addition to PassPerfect and just want to thank you for everything you do. This video was perfect right before my exam and got me thinking as I was driving there, so thank you so, so much for this. I tell everyone studying to come check your videos out, and will continue to do so. Thanks again!!

Mr. Tinney.. I can’t thank you enough. I take my test Wednesday… I wouldn’t have made it this far without you!
Sending you good test vibes! You got this!
Dean - you are the real deal and an unsung hero. I came across your videos - watched them the night before and morning of, and you hit some of the major topics on the head! The perfect way to get in the zone. Your brief overview of options made things click. You’re doing amazing work! Cheers from VA!
Kudos on your Series 7 testing victory!
Glad you found the channel and it contributed to your testing victory!

I’ve had a RUclips account since the early 2000s and have never once made a comment, however, this definitely merits one. I made a first attempt at the 7 in 2020, where I felt confident going in but realized quickly that the test looked completely foreign to me and that the study material I used was very out of date. Fast forward to present, I did my second attempt (felt like a first though) and used your videos to supplement my Kaplan book. Your explanations made ALL of the difference and I attribute my pass to you and your channel! I have already referred you to many colleagues, and will definitely utilize this channel for the other licenses I’m studying for this year. Thank you again!!
I am truly honored by you uncloaking to comment. Love referrals. Thank you so much.
Dean - I'm back from the front line, and, I passed! I could not have done this without you --- your attention to detail, how you communicate the concepts so clearly, all of it, was a tremendous help. This may take a moment to spell out, but, I hope you don't mind --- I'll share with anyone who comes across this post what my experience was. Also, I will stress and underline that this was MY experience --- if you are preparing for the 7, please note that your test will be largely dependent on your draw of questions, even though there may be a similar balance questions per topic area. At any rate --- here are my take-aways:
1. Holy Smokes Batman - Options. Options. Options. --- concepts and applications, sure, but calculations, my scratch sheet had T-charts all over it. I was calculating break-evens, P&L, etc., what felt like all test.
2. Suitability. Good grief. My test had a windfall of questions in the suitability space --- especially as it pertained to new investors, and, investors at or near retirement.
3. I did not have a lot on direct participation, much like Dean had mentioned --- not a lot there, not a lot on margin, a few, focused on min. maintenance.
4. Did I mention Options ...
5. Finally, there were more questions on customer accounts than I was prepared for --- and, what felt like very niche areas of customer accounts. I would stress brushing up on customer accounts, and, even though there may be conceptually more difficult areas, this is not an area to sleep on.
6. Finally, bonds, yes, there were bonds, and, less calculations on bonds (there was a little of that), but, my draw was hung up on muni's more so than corporates, or even govn. securities.
Ok, that's all, apologies for the length. Again, I'll stress that this was my draw, and yours may be different. Thank you again Dean for all your wit and wisdom along the way.
Have a drink on me.
Kudos on passing your exam and thanks for paying it forward.
It sounds pretty much like my draw. It was A LOT!
@@vidhyaramani3093 How did the test go for you - if you don't mind sharing? Were you able to pass?
@@AmpWin1 yes I did! It was a death draw for sure. I pretty much got the same combination of questions that you have mentioned above. Lots of
Options and suitability and debt security questions. Very few on margin ,DPP’s and communications.
@@vidhyaramani3093 congrats Vidhya! Way to make it through a tough test --- well done!

Kudos!! Thanks for the shout out!
I just passed the 7 first time. I was suggested this video by a friend for the night before and I do think this is an excellent refresher. In my case the majority of questions were about customer accounts and options.
Kudos on passing your Series 7 exam! Every draw is different. Glad you took yours down.
Im going through the STC program and your content is really solidifying the material so it's fully sinking in.

Next...63!
