Consider allowing Varsity Tutors to enroll you in a Boulder SIE course. The SIE, also known as the Securities Industry Essentials exam or the Essentials exam, is a test for prospective securities industry professionals. This exam is one-half of the tests that individuals must take to engage in securities business or register with a FINRA member firm. The second half of this process is taking a qualification exam that is specific to the type of business an individual is looking to engage in (Series 7, Series 22, Series 52, Series 79, etc.). If you are overwhelmed by timed tests or feel the pressure of earning a favorable score on the SIE, allow Varsity Tutors to help you by signing you up for to a Boulder SIE prep course.
How can a Boulder SIE class help me prepare?
The SIE is a multiple choice exam, with 75 questions. Test-takers are provided with 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the exam. In order to pass the SIE, individuals must score 70 percent or higher. If you are the type of person who feels stressed when preparing to take timed tests, a Boulder SIE class can help relieve your tension. In your class, not only can you learn about various topics that are potentially included in the SIE, but you can also learn valuable test-taking skills. You can gain information related to how to pace yourself during exams, how to make educated guesses, and how you feel more relaxed when taking a test. You can also take these skills with you and apply them to future tests and exams you may take, including your qualification exam.
Each Boulder SIE class is lead by a skilled and knowledgeable instructor. Your instructor has a strong knowledge of the SIE and its contents, as well as how to educate students of all skill levels. Whether you're struggling with equity securities, packaged products, hedge funds, or definition and identification of risk types, your instructor can help you focus on these areas and grow your understanding. During your SIE classes, if you have any questions, feel free to ask your instructor. You can receive a real-time reply that is accurate and relevant to your lesson. Not only can you benefit from this, but so can your peers. The live and interactive SIE classroom setting allows for collaborative learning that is excellent for students who learn well in groups.
Maybe you feel confident in your understanding of the types of markets, but international economic factors are causing you to struggle. Your SIE class can cover these potential topics of the Essentials exam, helping you to feel more confident as your testing date approaches. The focused and guided learning environment provided by an SIE class makes it easier to learn topics you are struggling with. Instead of trying to watch pre-recorded lectures or learn from out-of-date textbooks, you can enroll in a modern course to work with a skilled instructor and utilize up-to-date study materials.
What do I do to enroll in a Boulder SIE course?
Whether you are a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder or a working professional, you can enroll in a Boulder SIE course to receive the help you are seeking. We know that students are busy, whether they're taking finals or working a full time job. That is why these courses are flexible, online, and accommodating. With the online platform, individuals don't have to worry about wasting time making a commute to a study location. Instead, all they have to do is turn on their computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone and connect to the internet. It's that easy to participate in a SIE course. Think about taking your course at home, at your local library, on your college campus, or at your favorite coffee shop. A familiar and distraction-free environment is the most beneficial.
Students can enroll in an SIE course that meets during a time that is most ideal for their schedule. Study for the SIE before work, during your lunch break, in the evenings, or during the weekends to get the most out of your time. Instead of rearranging your schedule to accommodate your study requirements, sign up for a course that is available during your free time. Our goal is to help students work towards their goals when it comes to taking the SIE. If you are hoping to pursue a career in the securities industry, reach out to Varsity Tutors to start your Boulder SIE course right away.
