If you are a student at Philadelphia University or you simply need to review before taking the SIE, Varsity Tutors can set you up with the right Philadelphia SIE prep for you. The SIE is a crucial step in becoming a securities industry professional, so you'll want to make sure that you are familiar with all of the content that it will cover. While you are ultimately responsible for studying the content that will be on the exam, a Philadelphia SIE prep course or private SIE tutor can help you prepare.
What Topics are Covered by Philadelphia SIE Prep?
The SIE (or Securities Industry Essentials) Exam is taken by those who wish to become securities industry professionals and covers concepts that are fundamental to working within the industry, such as the types of products that professionals will handle and the function of different regulatory agencies. The exam consists of 75 multiple choice questions, of which 70 percent must be answered correctly. You will have an hour and 45 minutes to complete the exam.
Passing the SIE alone won't qualify you for registration with a FINRA member firm or otherwise allow you to engage in the securities business, but it is an important first step. After you pass the SIE, you can then move on to taking a qualifying exam that is appropriate for the type of business you wish to engage in. You will need to be associated with a member firm to take a qualification exam, but not the SIE.
One of the goals of Philadelphia SIE preparation will be to familiarize you with the topics that might be on the exam. This might include market types, business and international economic factors, debt instruments, hedge funds, exchange-traded products, and identifying risk types. These are just a handful of topics that might be covered in your exam, which is why an online course or a Philadelphia SIE tutor can be so helpful.
What are the Advantages of Each Type of Philadelphia SIE Prep?
Varsity Tutors can set you up with two different types of Philadelphia SIE prep. The first is an online course with other students, and the second is private instruction with an SIE tutor. Both options have their advantages, and while some students will opt to engage in both, most students will choose one over the other. A Philadelphia SIE prep course will allow you to interact with students and an instructor in a virtual classroom, which is useful for those who learn best in a collaborative environment. You will be able to chat with other students, review course material, and maybe learn about some concepts that you might not have considered before. You might even have the chance to help other students who are struggling with the material. Of course, you can also request some one-on-one time with your instructor if you think you need some extra help.
Since the Philadelphia SIE prep class you take will be entirely online, you won't have to worry about commuting to a physical classroom to participate. You will still need to adhere to a set schedule to get the most out of the class, but simply having the ability to attend class from wherever you have a stable Internet connection makes it far more convenient than a course that you must attend at a specific location. New classes open up on a monthly basis, so you should be able to find a time that works best for your schedule.
If you think you would benefit more from private instruction than from a class with other students, we can set you up with a tutor for one-on-one study sessions. This kind of instruction will allow you to work at your own pace with an instructor who can tailor their lessons to suit your learning style. Since your study sessions will be online, you will have the freedom to set your own schedule. Your instructor will do their best to accommodate you as they give you their undivided attention.
How do I Get Started with Philadelphia SIE Preparation?
If you are planning to take the SIE and need some extra help, Varsity Tutors will be glad to set you up with a Philadelphia SIE preparation class or connect you with a private tutor. To learn more about how to get started, reach out to us today. Our educational consultants will be happy to answer all of your questions and find you the right online SIE preparation class or private instructor.
