A silly thing that helps me remember wide versus narrow: I want my credit card bill to narrow and I want my debit card account balance to widen!

I just passed my Series 7 today. Prior to taking the test. I had failed 4 practice exams the day before I scored a measly 54%. I watched this video on my drive to the exam, and I jotted everything he said on my scratch sheet before to the best of my ability. When the final screen said pass, I almost fell out of my seat.

Thank you so much this video really work for me. 🎉🎉🎉

Dean, thank you so much. Huge victory. I just passed the 7. First Try. English is my second language. Finance is my third language. now I make a living with finance. 7 days intensive study (1pm to 4am). I studied STC. Final exam score was 50, 59, 65, 50. watch your video twice (Tips, Tricks & 1 hour video). It was very helpful. Kudos.

Just wanted to thank you for your work. I passed the 7 yesterday and Cal, Push, Silo, BULLS, Dew and Cen are the major reasons why. I was struggling w/options and this video alone brought it together for me.

Just want to stop by and recommend all of the videos done by Dean. I stayed menu driven and passed my series 7 first attempt !

[mikedenton]

Just wanted to take a second and say a HUGE thank you Dean. You are truly the man! 1st S7 my defense was lowered by crushing the SIE... failed. I decided to supplement and used your videos... made everything so clear! 2nd attempt... got a 71. I went back and just kept pounding away.. videos, pass perfect and STC... Finally PASSED!! Anyone struggling, keep chipping away.
You got this! Watch the man's videos!!! Thanks again sir

[hagodi]

I passed my S7! Watched this video the night before and today morning! So relieved! You are the man! Thank you!

[andrewmason]

These videos made such a big difference in my understanding of my weakest subjects. Munis, underwriting, and spreads/straddles. I’m happy to say I passed my Series 7 yesterday and it was in no small part to Dean’s videos here on the channel. Thanks Dean! You’re awesome!

[JuliusMelero]

This video was absolutely key to passing my Series 7 on the first try! Your videos are much more interesting and intelligible than the vendor lectures and I think you better prepare test takers for the information that will actually be on the test. Thank you for all of your help over the past 6 months as I have been using you since I began studying for the SIE! Incredibly helpful!!

[thebigrodster]

Just Passed my Series 7 on my first attempt about 1 hour ago!!! This video was critical to me passing!
Thank you!!!!

[amykoerner]

Dean, I just want to say I really appreciate all the work youve put into this youtube channel. I have few resources and had very little knowledge about the financial industry until this last month, but after watching most of your channel I feel prepared and confident going into taking the SIE exam this week ALL THANKS TO YOU!

[elijahnelson]

I passed the Series 7 today and your lectures here were extremely helpful. Thank you for teaching through YouTube.
