Series 57 study materials

Ok, so just attempted a retake (#2) today using STC and missed by 1% - from test 1 to test 2 I gain 2%...unbelievably poor ROI

The STC materials were provided and assumed they would be fine. From the start I didn't like the book (format/layout), can't really say why as I'm not an education content creator. I took a 65 and the course instructor was a bit strange but it was well laid out and her style worked well for me - passed first time and I had no background in that material. Definitely did not invest as much time

Unfortunately I've invested 100-200 hours in STC videos, book, notes, tests, etc and don't have the pass to show for it - doing the same thing expecting different results is the definition of insanity. I'm interested in buying a Knopman manual if anyone is selling.

Additionally the test format changes in Oct of 2018 so the courses will likely have to be reformatted (my assumption).

The Series 7 is for stockbrokers, and generally for those who work at brokerage firms such as Schwab, Fidelity, etc. It's a much broader exam and it will cost more to take it and to hold the license at a firm (I think FINRA charges around $500/year).

The Series 57 is solely for deposit "prop shops" that take capital contributions in exchange for providing you with firm capital (usually at 20 times your equity). It's for day traders who want greater leverage than retail, and won't be helpful outside of the prop world.
