Passed yesterday morning!!

I'm 19 going into my sophomore year of college trying to get some knowledge before I apply for internships. I had my test yesterday, and literally was convinced I was not passing. I began reading the KnopmanMarks book mid June and that was my primary learning tool. Once I completed that, I took a kaplan practice test and got a 63 on that and the mastery test. I moved on to taking the STC tests and then the worry set in. I genuinely did not do better than a 62 on a single practice test and felt like I was going to inevitably fail. The days leading up to the test I watched a lot on employee conduct, corporate action, and offerings because they were pretty lost on me. Knowledge of the capital markets was not really a problem when it came to learning it. I feel like I was asked mainly about protecting captial (hedging, risk associated, correct investment types, etc.). I literally could not look when it said I passed I gasped in the dead silent room. Anyways, the actual test is WAY easier than any online practice, so stay optimistic.
