Question on taking the Series 7
So it's a 6 hour test, broken down into two 3-hour sessions. What happens if you get done with the first part well before the first 3 hours? Do you have to just sit there for a couple hours twiddling your thumbs, or can you start part 2 early?

These 125 practice tests only take about an hour or so. I'm sure I'll be more cautious on the real test, but I'd like to make plans for tomorrow's test if I know whether I can be home by lunchtime.

If you get done with the first test early they give you at least half an hour but no longer than an hour to grab some lunch or whatever. As long as you make it back in an hour you can take the second part early.

Thanks for the info guys. Not that I doubted you, but yes, you can start the second part early. It took about 2 1/2 hours (was there 3 1/2 hours total with a break and waiting around).

Are the two 3 hour sessions two separate tests?

i.e. Can you go back to a question from the first 3 hours after you have had the 30 minute break?

Are there 2 * 125 question tests, or is it just 250 questions broken up into 2 * 3 hour sessions?
 
Thanks axe.

Does each 3 hour session have 125 questions?

If I finish the first session in 1 hour, can I use that time to start the next second session early - or is there only 3 hours per session?

Wow! I forgot it was 6 hours long.
 
When I wrote it there was mandatory 1 hour break between sessions. I went for lunch and looked at my textbook. You can't go back over questions from the first half once you are finished it.
 
Quote from axehawk:

no, you cannot go back after the break. But I don't remember it being 6 hours long?

nobody takes 6 hrs unless they don't speak very fluent English.

So, how in the hell do I get sponsered. I want to take the test but I don't have a firm. Am I up the creek?

Lost north of the border.:confused:
 
You have to have a sponsoring firm in order to take the 7.

Why would you want to take the test if you weren't intending on joining a firm?
 
That's the hole point.

It's my desire to join a firm and in order to do so, I'm going to take the test. The test is not the problem, it's convincing a firm to take me, that's the problem... I can breeze through the test.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks
