Published 5 months ago
Description
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- The AFOQT has no penalty for wrong answers, making guessing statistically advantageous.
- A blank answer guarantees zero points, while a random guess offers a 25% chance of being correct.
- For speed-critical subtests like Table Reading and Block Counting, adopt a 'guess-and-move' rule if you exceed the average time per question.
- Commit to a single letter (like 'C' or 'D') for all last-second guesses to save precious time.
- Never leave any question unanswered; your final score depends on answering everything, even if it's a guess.
