In order to pass the series 7 exam, one needs to remember a lot of information.  This can be a daunting task for some people.  Each series 7 textbook has hundreds of pages and some of it, let's be honest, may not be all that interesting. Some students highlight the series 7 material which is a great idea.  With that said, if you do not go back and review what you highlighted, you will lose some of the benefit.  Everyone should read the series 7 textbook (surprisingly, some students choose not to read the textbook). While you are reading the textbook, you should take notes or highlight important concepts  Periodically, students should review their notes and/or highlights.  It can also be helpful to create a few pages of "essential to know" notes and review these notes prior to taking exams. The idea is to create a funnel starting with the whole book, then the highlights/notes, then the essential notes.

Students often speak to people who have taken the series 7 exam and get feedback on what was heavily tested or what was not heavily tested.  And sometimes, based on this information, series 7 students will focus on certain areas and neglect other areas.  This is a mistake! Everyone's test is different and while someone had what their consider to be a low number of options questions, others may have had lots of options questions. The bottom line is that students need to study everything.  A series 7 tutor can help you understand the topics on the test.

Well, I am writing this post because I work with a lot of series 7, 6, 63, 65 and 66 students and a few of them have reported that their employers tell them not to read the  series 7 or series 66 manuals and to instead only focus on the questions.  This is bad advice.  While answering questions is important, reading the textbook is just as important.
