I PASSED MY SERIES 6 EXAM!

I can't believe it! Really, I can't! I read an entire study manual an inch thick... and I studied ALL DAY on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. I took many practice exams and went through every possible quiz question online! Still, I went back and forth from being confident and thinking I was in way over my head! I usually scored around an 80% on the practice exams... which is pretty good in my opinion. The test requires a 70% to pass. Well, I took another practice exam this morning then headed off to the testing center. I took the full 2 hours to complete the exam. There were 100 questions and right around question #59 I was sure I was going to fail! It was so much HARDER than the practice exams! I thought I must have missed the 30 questions already and I was going to fail! I was sitting there in front of the computer about to cry, that's how bad I felt! Near the end of the exam the questions got easier. Some of the wording on the questions was ridiculous! I had no idea how to answer some, even if I knew the facts about what they were testing on. That's confusing, I know... but I ended up scoring an 81%!!! PASS!!! Anyway, I have variable annuities and mutual funds and tax consequences of early withdrawal and all sorts of craziness floating around in my head! I'm glad I passed and I will never have to take that awful test again! (unless I leave the industry for 2 years and want to jump back in!) Now I still have one more test to take, on Tuesday. It is the Series 63 and supposedly is not as hard. We'll see. I am giving myself a couple nights off of studying and will resume on Friday. Tonight is movie night so my brain doesn't explode and tomorrow is enrichment night! I need a rest and spending time with friends will be good for me! Ok, time for me to go celebrate!
