This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation.

In this episode you will learn:
- The AFOQT consists of 12 subtests administered in a fixed, unchangeable order.
- Each subtest is timed independently, and you cannot return to a previous section once its time has expired.
- Pacing requirements vary dramatically, from over a minute per question in some sections to less than ten seconds in others.
- The second half of the exam features rapid-fire subtests like Table Reading and Block Counting that test your speed and accuracy under extreme time pressure.
- Knowing the subtest order is a critical strategy to mentally prepare for the required shifts in pacing and cognitive demands throughout the five-hour exam.
