How much harder is the California Real Estate BROKER exam than the salesperson exam?

I am a licensed real estate salesperson in California and have been approved to take my Real Estate Broker's Exam in a month. I have been in and out of real estate for the past 6.5 years so I have a good solid understanding of most aspects; however, the test questions in the "practice exam book" that I'm reading are pretty detailed.

My questions are (to those who have taken it or know anyone who has):

How much harder is the exam from the salesperson exam?

Do you have any tips as to how I should study for it?

How heavily weighted is finance?

Any other tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

    It's about the same in difficulty as the salesperson except it is 5 hours, administered in a 2 1/2-hour morning session and a 2 1/2-hour afternoon session. 200 multiple choice questions (100 in each session). And 75% is passing.

    The saleperson test is 3 hours 15-minutes. 150 multiple choice questions and the passing grade is 70%.

    I would take a broker's exam prep course through DUANE GOMER SEMINARS

    just to take my salesperson's exam I studied for months on end with no distractions. Then had to take my post salesperson's test. I presumed that the broker's part was a pre and post course as well plus the test so the pre test should have prepared you to take the broker's test. Since the broker's position is one of handling the money, I'd surmise it would have a lot of figurework on the test and the law (state law), and maybe budgeting, opening and closing accounts, possible suits, your responsibility to your salesmen and how you could get into trouble with the law or the DBPR if you weren't on top of everything.
