Another addition to the CALL UP/PUT DOWN tip - if you are using the options grid, the first is a long call. The max gain is unlimited (U) and the max loss is premium (p). Up! Once I have that, I know a short call is the opposite.

[@DesertRatGhost]

Thank you for the fantastic info - Through a strange set of circumstances I ended up with a series 65 before an SIE and it's been interesting filling in the gaps in my knowledge with your videos & Kaplan. As another Nevada native (north not south), thank you for making it so approachable.

[@NimaRafiei86]

Hi Dean, I've been watching (and rewatching) several of your SIE video content over the past several months in addition to reading from my SIE book and I enjoy listening to your explications. I have taken all of the full length final tests in my STC portal and 4-5 custom exams of 85 questions (13 tests total) and have only received a passing score on one of them of 75%. The last 3 exams I took I scored 68, 69, and 68%, respectively. My exam is on Wednesday afternoon CST (just a few blocks up the street from the Chicago Board of Trade!) and I'm not entirely confident I'll pass. Constantly revisiting the book and reviewing my underlinings and notes in between exams doesn't seem to help me retain information. Chapters 7, 9, and 10 are consistently my weak chapters, but it **seems** like there are more questions about prohibited activities and reportable events to FINRA on the exam that I miss. What would you recommend I do to prepare in between now and Wednesday afternoon? Thanks very much for all of your help and I'll keep you posted on the outcome!

[@Series7Guru]

Take two or three of the SIE practice tests on the channel.

Take Dean up on the Kaplan discount. I was scoring 85% plus on STE tests and a 80% on the FINRA practice exam but scored a 65 on my first attempt on Kaplan. The questions require more depth of knowledge to answer and are frankly trickier. My guess is that the actual exam will be easier than the Kaplan stuff but who knows.

Having the right QB bank can be the difference and the Kaplan Q bank is the best! 10% discount code at checkout is Guru10

Looks like Tyrell did not get any questions he expected on education accounts like the 529 plan or UTMA/UGMA.
