Dean thank you so much for the 60 minutes and mnemonic videos! I swear you help me pass the 7. Could you make a video of "fast number facts" for the 66, similar to how you did for the 7? I think that would be incredibly helpful with categorizing all the loose ends associated with the 66. Thanks again for all you do! You are a must have in successful study materials.

Took the 66 this morning and passed. Just want to thank you for your time and effort - your way of explaining complex topics is incredibly helpful. I could hear your voice in my head during the test as I would eliminate wrong answers. So thank you so very much for all the content!

Passed my 66! Thanks for helping. You truly are the guru. Test was about what I expected -I didn’t see questions about precious metals or futures/forwards. Nor the sofa question -A couple questions on federal covered advisers -3 or 4 on custody -2 on soft dollars -2 on powers of administrator -Didn’t see per stripes or per capita -Didn’t see Coverdells and don’t remember seeing 529 -had 1 option ? That was easy -Quite a few questions on prohibited/unethical practices. -1 or 2 on bonds -1 or 2 on annuities -1 or 2 on CAPM -2 on modern portfolio theory -Had to calculate current ratio from a balance sheet -2 on discounted cash flow -I used my calculator once then I realized I really didn’t need it because the math was easy -2 ?’s on DAF’s -2 on investment policy statement -3 or 4 ?’s on types of accounts(tic, jtwros, entirety, etc) Can’t remember much else.

[@davidshechtman6289]

Dean. This "super thanks" is nothing compared to the help you provide. Your videos helped me with my Series 7 a month ago, and I just now passed my Series 66 listening to the above video in my car on the way there. After letting my employer, family, and girlfriend know - the first thing I went to go do is post this comment. Not enough can be said for your efforts and how you impact people's careers, whether they understand it or not. Tonight, beers are on David, the IAR. To those of you curious about topics. "QDRO" was an answer, which leads to an important thing I noticed - this test wants to know your understanding of definitions way more than the 7. Though it does not do it in an easy way. The wording will be weird just like with the 7 (so actually understanding the concept/term is necessary), but process of elimination will help. In regards to calculations the only math was finding the *annulized yield* of total return (so the 12 month divided by total months held formula), though I would not be surprised if that was one of the "throwaway" questions. Other than that, Dean is right, you need to know the inputs of formulas, not the numbers. For example, "what is the formula for Quick Ratio?" - it will not be as straight forward as current assets less inventory / current liabilities (aka you will need to know what current assets minus inventory actually is). To piggy back off that, there were way more "balance sheet" questions than I expected/cared for. I had 0 life insurance questions and 1 variable annuity question. The exam really seemed to focus on when splitting commissions was okay, and when performance-based fees are acceptable for the ethical practices portion. 1 options question, and after passing the 7, I thought it was for grade-school students. In regards to actual securities, bonds would be your focus, and specifically the relationship of duration and price to interest rates going up/down. Good luck!

Dean, I just passed the 66. Secured the hat trick! Had to come on here and thank you immediately. My test location was 2 hours from where i'm living and I listened to this on repeat the entire way there (primarily the first 25 min). I failed the first time, and my job depended on if I passed it or not this time... You can imagine how much stress I was under and how much I slept last night lol. I had heard from a few friends that this channel is a MUST listen to, especially on a long drive over to the testing location. You are doing the lords work and I cant thank you enough!!! I will be stressing that this channel is a must for everyone else that has to take this trash can of an exam. A little about this exam compared to the first that I think you may want to know. The first exam had maybe 1/2 questions regarding annuities and life insurance and the taxation on them. This one had easily 12-15... Thank god I hammered that bit before and memorized a few concepts so that way, as soon as I started the test, I wrote them down immediately. This helped substantially allowing me to use process of elimination on the remainder that I didn't cover. Again, thank you so much for your help! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! Best, Alan Grissom

I started my testing journey at the end of March of this year, passed the SIE, failed the 7 the first time, retook about 6 weeks later and passed, then the 66 today. So grateful for your videos and advice - coming from someone who just started in the finance industry last year, they were so helpful and put into terms I could better understand than the courses I took. For Series 7, options was the hardest part for me to master. I watched all of your videos and spent a lot of time doing question after question, and memorizing the options chart. I don't think it will ever leave my memory, haha. Also, the bond teeter totter - when I watched that video, a total light went on in my head and I used that in every exam. I also purchased TestGeek's 66 quick notes based on your recommendation and that was extremely helpful, especially for the registrations I kept mixing up. I can say that if you put the work in, the result pays off :) I also can say that the test started off easy, was hard in the middle, and easy at the end. Good luck to future test takers!

Make sure you know everything on the syllabus - even 1-3 point qs like HSAs, futures and the economic analysis (IRR and current ratio!!) stuff. Test geek and Kaplan were definitely the biggest helps. Also be sure to know what Nav is/the formula. Be solid on your ethics and communications knowledge - disclosures, social media. Don’t forget about insurance. Of course also registration - knowing solid rules of thumb helped like “broker dealer agents always have to register” helped. For IA remember ABC, each component matters.

I will keep at it and look into Brian’s website. Thanks again, I believe in you and myself even though I’m disappointed right now.

This is my first time commenting on any KZbin video in the decade+ that I’ve had an account, and I truly feel obligated to do so. I can’t say thank you or recommend this channel enough. I just passed my 66 this morning, and passed all three (SIE, 7 & 66) on the first try. All of these videos (and the Spotify playlists) were absolutely instrumental in that. Anyone that feels lost or is having a tough time with any concept relating to any one of those exams will find this channel to be immensely helpful. All of that goes the same for Brian @ Test Geek. Thank you both for everything you do; you are tremendously appreciated.

@@Series7Guru thank you! One question for you - I have to take the 86 and 87 next which I don’t believe you cover. It also looks like there’s not a lot of supplements or even providers out there for that matter. Do you have any advice/recommendations or know of any good accounts/supplements? Going to be a harder battle without the help of someone like you.

Thank so much just passed my 66 today. You’re videos help me pass all the tests along the way. You’ve changed my life! I originally started listening to your videos to see if I could understand these concepts, while installing sprinkler systems 5 or so months ago. Took my Sie then got a job offer that has/ will improve the quality of life for my children. Dental care is getting done on them that I previously couldn’t afford. Thank You isn’t enough!

Dean just walking out of the exam and I passed the series 66 and it was all thanks to you and brian. I religiously watch all of your videos. I also purchased Brian‘s 66 videos and practice exam and it was very thorough. I did notice that on the exam there was a whole lot more questions about ETFs and ETN as well as non-qualified deferred plans that I was not expecting, has 3 on ETFs 2 on ETNs & 3 on non-qualified deferred plan , but other than that you were spot on. Thank you so much. 😊

[@mari.ferreira.]

@@andredefreitas2527 They asked about the definition of ETN, just know it’s a debt security, they also after what is a component of an ETN- just know that it tracks an index. for the non qualified deferred plan- they asked the benefits in oppose to a qualified deferred plan… that i had no idea i made an educated guess lol. they also asked about the non qualified and the difference and one of the answers was about erisa- so i picked that one lol. just read up on that.. they asked 2 questions of ETF’s also- leverage know that it’s risky because you can lose 2x the money. They asked a ton of questions around custody!!!! one of them was which is considered custody - and one answer was that an RIA provides loan payment options and i was between that and the RIA having discretionary power / POA on discretionary but promised not to make any withdrawals… i was stuck on a few of those custody questions :( so read up on those also!!

YOU THE BEST! I watched your SIE, Series 7, and now Series 66 1hr review before every test. Just passed the 66, I don't think I could have done it without you. Passed each first try, I would park outside the test center an hour before and watch your video before walking in. Massive help getting in the right headspace. For those of you taking the 66, not much math, I used my calculator maybe once or twice, the rest was recognition of the formula so make sure you understand each one, had 1 question on options, multiple questions on CAPM, Div Discount, DCF, RRR, IRR, and discounting. Bond questions on YTC and YTM but again no math. Current Ratio.

[@thereynoldsfamily3828]

Dean, I wanted to offer some feedback on the 66 from today's exam . I did pass and nothing was unexpected, the wording was super tricky. But doable with plenty of study and practice. I had 3 math questions. One was calculating current ratio using a corporate balance sheet. The other was calculating a mutual funds NAV and the third was working capital. Going thru the outline, just some highlights. Anything that was a definition type question has two answers almost identical. Analytical methods: Debt to ratio definition Price to book , who uses it and why Current ratio calculation IRR Investment vehicles: What is investor assuming when viewing yield to call One or two premium and discount questions on bonds Bond ratings Multiple technical and fundamental analysis questions. (Essential definition, how they are used , how they evaluate stock) Characteristic of class C shares Tax implications on gains on mutual funds Benchmarks used Recognize why manager tenure important Difference between dollar weight and time weight Calculate NAV ONE option question. (who made money when index went down) Structured product definition One or two insurance questions. Why used gold ETF Difference in C corp and S Corp What does cash flow help determine What items in client interview are not quantitative Multiple modern portfolio theory questions Efficient market hypothesis recognition Essential definition of MPT management styles , contrast Dollar cost averaging Estate tax -2 questions Why have a will What avoids probate 2 or 3 ERISA questions Best for kids college QDROs Definition of margin Excessive trading -2 or 3 on that The regulations questions were pretty much what Kaplan prep questions prepared for. The wording was tricky of course ... And the scenarios were more complicated but it was doable.
