If you are preparing to take the Series 7 exam, Varsity Tutors can help you get set up with expert-led Chicago Series 7 prep services that can help you get the most out of the time you have before the test. Prior to taking this test, you will need to have obtained a passing grade on the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam. To take the Series 7 in order to obtain a license to trade as a U.S. stockbroker, you'll also need to be sponsored by a FINRA member. Most of this test focuses on entry-level skills and abilities as a general securities representative.
What concepts will be covered during Chicago Series 7 exam prep?
The Series 7 exam consists of four sections based on main job functions: Seeks Business for the Broker-Dealer from Customers and Potential Customers; Provides Customers with Information about Investments, Makes Suitable Recommendations, Transfers Assets and Maintains Appropriate Records; Opens Accounts after Obtaining and Evaluating Customers' Financial Profile and Investment Objectives; and Obtains and Verifies Customers' Purchase and Sales Instructions and Agreements; Processes, Complete, and Confirms Transactions. In all, there are 125 multiple-choice questions that you will need to complete within four hours.
Reviewing for this exam on your own can be challenging. Series 7 exam prep can give your study efforts the boost you need to feel confident when you enter the testing room. Whether you would rather sign up for a Chicago Series 7 exam prep course or work with a personal instructor, you can spend your sessions reviewing the format, content, and expectations of the test.
What are the benefits of the different types of Chicago Series 7 exam preparation?
The two types of Series 7 prep we provide are online classes and private tutoring. There is a range of benefits associated with each, though some prefer to take advantage of both options. Regardless of your preference, you can learn under the instruction of an expert of the Series 7 who has a solid understanding of the concepts on the test. Let's explore your options here.
If you enjoy the structure and camaraderie of a traditional learning environment, you can enroll in an online Chicago Series 7 exam prep class. Hosted via our Live Learning Platform, you can participate in engaging sessions led by your academic instructor. You can enjoy collaborative discussions using video chat. Alongside your classmates, you can listen to lectures that cover topics on the exam, the format, and more. Your instructor can introduce you to test-taking strategies that can help you manage your time during the test. Your mentor can lead you and your peers in in-depth discussions about mutual funds, rights of common stockholders, and investment recommendations. You might participate in group activities, such as filling out retirement plans or executing trades. If you have any trouble understanding something, you can arrange to work through the obstacles with your instructor one-on-one.
Perhaps you thrive best under personalized instruction. We can connect you with an expert Chicago Series 7 exam tutor who can adapt instruction to your unique needs. Your private mentor can take the time to get to know you as an individual, allowing them to create a customized study plan that encompasses only the topics of the exam in which you have the most room to grow. During personalized instruction, you can set the pace and decide what you study during each session. For example, perhaps you feel comfortable with your understanding of the Options Disclosure Document. Your mentor can focus your attention instead on regulations and mutual funds. Studying with a personal instructor can give you a deeper understanding of the material through engaging activities and in-depth discussions. They can even tailor their teaching methods and materials to appeal to your learning personality and interests.
