Award-Winning SIE Test Prep in Tucson, AZ

If you're looking for Tucson SIE prep, Varsity Tutors is here to help. The SIE, or Securities Industry Essentials exam, is for professionals hoping to move into the securities industry. The exam assesses concepts which are critical in the securities profession. The SIE consists of 75 multiple-choice questions. The test takes an hour and 45 minutes to complete and you must receive a score of 70 percent or higher to pass. Passing this exam is an important step in qualifying to work in the securities business or register with a FINRA member firm. The SIE will test you on basic information and foundational concepts you'll have learned if you studied finance at a school such as the University of Arizona.

Tucson SIE prep can be an excellent resource as you prepare to take this critical exam.

What topics can be covered during Tucson SIE prep?

There are four sections on the SIE: Knowledge of Capital Markets; Understanding Products and Their Risks; Understanding Trading, Customer Accounts, and Prohibited Activities; and Overview of the Regulatory Framework. In addition to the 75 questions scored in these sections, your exam will also have an extra 10 questions which will not be scored. You will not know which questions count towards your score so you'll want to do your best on all of the questions.

Your SIE lessons can cover any or all of these sections, depending on your needs. For example, if you'd like to review Direct Participation Programs (DDPs) or spend a few sessions working on municipal fund securities, your instructor can make sure to fit these topics into your lessons. You can also review investment returns, corporate actions, or hedge funds, among other topics.

What are the benefits of the two different types of Tucson SIE prep?

When you choose Varsity Tutors for your SIE prep, you'll be able to choose between two options: an online SIE class or working with a private SIE instructor. Both options can be invaluable resources for those hoping to pass the SIE, and each comes with its own set of benefits. Let's take a closer look.

When you sign up for an online Tucson SIE prep class, you will gain access to an interactive classroom that features a lot of the same benefits you'd find in a traditional classroom. Our Live Learning Platform allows you to interact with your teacher as if you were sitting together at the same table. Through video chat, you can see, hear, and speak to your instructor during class, which allows you to ask questions and receive answers in real time. You'll also be able to work on group activities and engage in discussions with your classmates. For example, when you're learning about monetary vs. fiscal policy, you and your peers can compare and contrast ideas together. When writing a paper about employee conduct or prohibited activities, you can work with a peer editing group to ensure you understand the concepts. These types of collaborative activities can help make learning more enjoyable and can also help you retain the material better.

If you prefer a more individualized approach to learning, a private Tucson SIE tutor may be the right choice for you. With this option, you're able to move at a pace which works best for you. You're also able to work with your instructor to create a study schedule that focuses on the topics you need to review. For example, if you already understand the different types of markets, you can review something else with your SIE instructor, such as Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs). Lessons can also be tailored to match your preferred learning style, whether you're a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner.

It can also be beneficial to take advantage of both options. Whichever option you elect to take advantage of, you can rest assured you are receiving high-quality instruction from teachers who have passed our meticulous interviewing process.
