Series 7 Exam: 1001 Practice Questions For Dummies

Explore Book Buy On Amazon

You’ve studied for the Series 7 exam, you know the content backward and forward. You are ready! So, don’t let your nerves overtake you the day of the exam. Follow these steps to ready yourself for test-taking day and you’ll be prepared to walk in and conquer the Series 7:

Review your notes until noon.
Get away from the books: Go out to dinner (skip the spicy foods and alcohol) or go to a movie — do whatever you want to rest your mind.
Gather the items to bring with you to the exam site:
- Your ID
- Exam site directions
- Layered clothing
- Earplugs (if allowed)
- A clock or watch
- A snack/lunch
- Your cellphone for emergencies (leave it in
  the car)
- Study material and notes (leave them in the car)
Set two alarm clocks. Leave enough time to get to the exam site an hour and a half early — one hour for more review and one half-hour for checking in.
Get to bed early.
