I took (and somehow passed) the exam this spring. In my opinion, no, it is not safe to assume that the questions will cover the major points. I purchased the Reference Guide to Regulatory Compliance, procrastinated, and crammed all of my studying in the last couple days, which was not nearly enough time to cover everything. I focused my studying on the regulations that I felt I was weakest on, assuming the others would be a breeze since I handle them every day. I was wrong. None of it was a breeze because I felt like the questions were more geared toward the nitty-gritty details. Additionally, multiple times I thought that more than one answer was correct, but which one was the most correct? I left that exam room ashamed that I hadn't studied more and sure that I had failed. Much to my surprise, I passed. Not only that, but I actually did really well in each of the sections. I went with my first instinct when answering the questions, and even though there was a lot of uncertainty, my instincts were usually correct. I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just being honest when I say that the test was harder than I expected, but the outcome was good. I recommend reading as much as you can, don't overlook the small details, and go with your instincts. Good luck to you!

I'm studying now to test in April. I don't get to take the on line course and I have an outdated book from 2009. How bad is this going to mess me up? I'm debating on wether or not to shell out for a course and the book on my own dime but would really rather not have to. Did everyone else's FI pay for their course materials? Please report back to let us know how you did.
