I go over topics with coworkers who have already passed this exam and they say 'you know this stuff, your gonna do great' but when doing quizzes and practice tests my scores are sub par(60-75%). I've basically used all questions for the 'Kaplan Q Bank'. Do you have any recommeded tutors I could see online perhaps? My exam is scheduled for Dec. 14th.

Derek, have you watched the other many hours of lectures in the Series 65 playlist? If not, do so. Check out Brian Lee at TestGeekExamPrep.com. I highly recommend his 65 content as a great supplement. It includes an excellent practice exam. Brian sometimes does tutoring. I do too. My tutoring rate is $200 an hour prepaid and can be booked at deantinneytutoring.setmore.com. There is a link on the channel description page. Class is a better value than tutoring. I will be teaching a Kaplan 4 day Series 65 December 13 ( www.kaplanfinancial.com ). Maybe move the test date until after class? My 10% disoount code at checkout is Guru10. Your scores reflect that you are not at risk with the time remaining until your test date. Stay the course and keep grinding!

Hey Dean, Do we need to be concerned about questions that give us the total debentures, common stock, preferred stock, capital in excess of par, etc and asks us to calculate the earnings per share? If so, could you please show us how to solve one like this? ExamFX likes to ask this type of question. And also the type of question where they say the company make a cash or declared dividend and then ask them how that affects the balance sheet. I did see a video where you mention these two concepts briefly.

At 1:09:41 i got stuck because i didn't understand the choice. .. If stuck with rising interest rates it best to use the dumbbell strategy because most of the bonds are short maturities you can reinvest faster into higher yeild longer maturities. I believe that ladder strategy would be better for various market conditions "all terrain tire" I really appreciate everything you have done to help me pass the series 65 thank you! Edit time stamp. Edit #2 this is a hard question. After back testing it seems the only time barbell strategy outperformed the ladder was during 2004 to 2007. So ladder is usually better for rising interest rates assuming a yield curve increase.. but then the barbell would do better during lower interest rates because it is more flexible.. I Hate questions like this because it depends on a multitude of market conditions to tell which strategy will overperform.
