If you are a prospective securities industry professional, Varsity Tutors can connect you with an Indianapolis SIE tutor or prep class that will best suit your needs. The SIE Exam contains material that is no doubt covered in courses offered by the University of Indianapolis or Butler University, but just about anybody can benefit from some outside instruction, whether from a private tutor or an online course. No matter what your learning style may be, the right kind of Indianapolis SIE preparation can help you better understand the material covered by the exam as well as its basic structure.
What Concepts are Covered by Indianapolis SIE Prep?
The SIE (or Securities Industry Essentials) Exam is a test for prospective securities industry professionals. It covers concepts that are fundamental to working in the securities industry such as types of products and their risks, the structure of the industry markets, the functions of regulatory agencies, and prohibited practices. It's important to note that passing the SIE Exam alone won't qualify you for registration with a FINRA member firm or engage in the securities business. If you wish to become registered, you must pass the qualification exam that is appropriate for the type of business you wish to engage in. You also need to be associated with a member firm to take a qualification exam, but not the SIE Exam.
The exam itself consists of 75 multiple choice questions, of which 70 percent must be answered correctly for a passing score. You are allowed one hour and 45 minutes to complete the exam. Some of the topics that will be covered include types of markets, monetary vs. fiscal policy, business economic factors, equity securities, debt instruments, packaged products, hedge funds, and prohibited activities. This sounds like a lot to cover, but a good Indianapolis SIE prep course or instruction from a private tutor can help you become more familiar with these topics and perhaps soothe some of your test anxiety.
What are the Benefits of Each Type of Indianapolis SIE Prep?
We can connect you with two types of Indianapolis SIE preparation. The first is an online course, and the second is one-on-one instruction from a private tutor. Most students choose one option over the other, but some students have opted for both options. The Indianapolis SIE prep course allows you to interact with students and instructors with a Live Learning Platform, which is incredibly useful for those who learn better in a collaborative setting. You will be able to chat with students and work with them using a virtual whiteboard as you study the course material, and you might even be able to help other students better understand the concepts covered by the exam. Of course, you will also be able to work with your instructors in a one-on-one setting if you ever feel like you need any extra help. Since these courses will be entirely online, they offer the kind of flexibility you normally wouldn't find in a standard educational course. You do have to adhere to a set schedule to a certain degree, but you won't have to worry about commuting to a physical classroom or missing a session if you have a conflict or illness. As long as you have a stable Internet connection, you can participate in the course.
If you would prefer studying with a private instructor, we can help you find an Indianapolis SIE tutor who will work closely with you. If you choose this route, you will be able to set your own schedule with your instructor and work at your own pace. The instructor will work closely with you to learn about your own strengths and find out where you will need the most improvement. They will then be able to tailor your lessons to suit your learning style and help you get the most out of your study sessions. As with the SIE prep classes, you will be able to meet with your instructor online from anywhere as long as you can connect to the Internet.
How Can I Get Started with Indianapolis SIE Preparation?
Whether you would rather work with other students in a collaborative setting or with a private instructor, Varsity Tutors will be able to set you up with the Indianapolis SIE prep solution that best suits your needs and learning style. For more information about finding a prep class or an SIE tutor, reach out to us today. Our educational consultants will be happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Angelo: Indianapolis SIE test prep instructor
I love helping students in topics related to math, to finance (public and private equity) and to engineering. I believe that if I can't explain concept, then I don't understand it. By that same token, if a student can't explain a concept back to me, then they don't understand it even if they say they do. I believe in getting to know all students, as their background is intricately connected with how they learn.
