Series 7 Exam for a future college student?

Quote from GGSAE:

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this before, but you need to be sponsored to write the series 7 anyway. And yes for you it's not something you should even being to worry about while still in school....on an unrelated note last weekend I did the con't education for the series 7, talk about a waste of time....

Actually I already said this, but regardless its an important point.

Quote from QuikrRetirement:

ignoring "prop firms", if you intend to work in the financial industry, a Series 7 is helpful, regardless of what some say. IN fact, often the S7 is listed as required or preferred.

If you take a position at a B/D its almost always required. However, they pay for your training classes and give time to take the exam if you are coming from school, making it unnecessary to study/take the S7 beforehand.

I've got a short period of time to take this thing (S7). I bought two prep books and have been reading through the book at about 100 pages a day, getting around 70% on the practice questions. Wondering if you could throw some tips my way, and suggest some books. I've got "Pass the 7" and "Series 7 for Dummies" or something. Any recommendations?

Friend told me to just do practice exams and forget the reading, but I basically only have experience with stocks. The stuff in the books about muni bonds and such, ... no idea. Wondering how in depth I need to know that stuff.
 
Have you any idea how much money you can make trading? I made 6 figures my first year trading prop. I was in my early 20's with more money than I knew what to do with. I blew through all of it partying. Those were the days. I've settled down a bit since then but lemme tell you.....the reason you go to NYU is so you can <b>become a trader.</b> It ain't all peaches and cream, no doubt, but there's mucho donero to be made, and lost :D

Quote from schizo:

I mean, geezus, did you went through four expensive years of college just to become a trader?
