~ 8:48 PM ~
My style throughout high school and college was to
leave everything until the last minute and then cram.
But i figured you can't do that in the 7. The formula
primarily involve hard work and long hours of intensive
study. Therefore i craft my outlines, make my flash
cards, or both, and get ready to memorize a whole
bunch of information. I still remembered when I had
read over the 3-inch thick STC module for the first
time, I felt so confused cause it was too hard for me to
understand, like the topic on Municipal Bonds, chapter
13-Margin, and chapter 15-Options and more synthetic
Options. There was just too much running through my
head.
And then the big day. .
After sitting in front of the special computer which
used to offer examination environment
(ADMU-Salcedo), breaking the neck of the exam for 6
hours and having taken a total of twenty-plus topics on
the STC that overlapped with Bysis, Dearborn and
Kaplan, I closed my eyes for a few seconds then
opened, and I felt much comfortable and happy by the
result (i made it to the upper quartile of our batch!
YEY! ÜÜ). It seemed that the past two months were not
wasted, and that made me felt amazing
While waiting for the result, the best approach, i
guess, is the stoic one 'cause there is nothing you can
do to affect the outcome, so there is no point in
worrying.
The experience of actually taking the exam can be so
cathartic and particularly gratifying. Once the result
came, i felt relieved, elated, excited, and terrified all
at once.
Forget the rumors that say passing Series 7 is impossible.
