Episode Details

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 Word Knowledge subtest allows only 12 seconds per question on average (25 questions in 5 minutes). - Adopt a '5-10-Guess' pacing strategy: 5 seconds for known words, up to 10 for unknown words, then guess and move on. - Avoid the common trap of wasting precious time on a single, completely unfamiliar word; forward momentum is key. - Use etymology (prefixes, roots, suffixes) as your primary tool for making educated guesses on challenging words. - Remember the mantra: 'Five to thrive, ten to contend, then it's the end' to enforce disciplined pacing.
