I used STC materials to prepare the the exam. STC materials prepared me well for the Regulations portion of the Series 3 Exam, as I scored an 88%. However, STC is horribly inadequate to prepare someone for the Market Knowledge portion. Chapters 10 and 11 are very confusing, do not provide sufficient examples or explanations. I passed the series 7 almost seven years ago with high scores, and had no problem with the options and futures section. So I did not approach STC material without an understanding of the material. Avoid STC Series 3 study materials, as they will not sufficiently prepare you to quickly identify the type of problem and setup.
The Series 3 Exam is EXTREMELY FAST PACED! It will likely be one of the most difficult exams of your life. Do not take the exam until you can pass all practice exams will within the 150 minute time frame. ABSOLUTELY KNOW how to quickly ID and Setup and calculate all equations in 60 to 75 seconds. Lastly, AVOID using Securities Training Corporation materials!!!
