If you are seeking assistance as you study for the SIE, reach out to Varsity Tutors to enroll in a Syracuse SIE course. The SIE, also known as the Essentials Exam or the Securities Industry Essentials Exam, is a test designed for prospective securities industry professionals. The SIE covers several topics, all of which are fundamental to working in the securities industry. Some topics you may see on the SIE include prohibited practices, the structure of securities industry markets, types of products and risks, and so on. If you are studying any of these topics and finding yourself struggling, you can benefit from a Syracuse SIE prep course designed to help students grow their understanding of their materials, as well as their confidence in their SIE test-taking abilities.
How can a Syracuse SIE class help me prepare?
The SIE is a multiple choice examination. Test-takers are asked to answer 75 questions related to types of markets, equity securities, international economic factors, debt instruments, and so on. Individuals are given 1 hour and 45 minutes to answer these 75 questions. In order to pass the SIE, a student must receive a 70 percent or higher. As you get ready to take your SIE exam, you can prepare yourself for everything the SIE entails. Some individuals find it difficult to take timed tests. Maybe you're anxious about not finishing your test in time, or perhaps you are stressed about not passing. To relieve your tension and feel more at ease as you come to your exam date, enroll in a Syracuse SIE class. By doing so, you can learn valuable test-taking skills. Not only can you apply these skills to the SIE, but you can also apply them to other tests you may take in the future, including the qualification exam. You can learn how to pace yourself during timed exams, how to make educated guesses, and how to feel more relaxed during your test.
The SIE is one half of the testing process in order for individuals to register with a FINRA member firm or to engage in the securities business. In addition to the SIE, people must also take a qualification exam associated with the type of business that individual is planning to engage in (Series 7, Series 22, Series 52, Series 79, etc.). If you are feeling overwhelmed with all of the materials you have to review, let a Syracuse SIE class provide you with guided learning. Instead of trying to go it alone, a class can offer you tailored lessons designed specifically for SIE students. Your class can cover Direct Participation Programs, Exchange-traded Products, Anti-money Laundering, and so on.
Each SIE class is lead by a skilled, friendly, and professional instructor. The instructor leading your class has a deep knowledge of the SIE, as well as a strong understanding of how to educate students of all skill levels. During your class, feel free to ask questions to your instructor. Instead of waiting on an email response, your instructor can reply to your questions right away. Not only can this benefit you, but it can also benefit your SIE classroom peers. Communicate with your instructor, as well as your fellow classmates to benefit from the communicative and interactive environment provided by each online session.
