Securities Industry Essentials Exam (The SIE Exam)

by Michael Weiss, CFA on 05/31/18

The Securities Industry Essentials Exam will be launched in October of this year. In order to be registered with the series 6 or series 7 exams, one would also need to pass the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam.

Who benefits from this new FINRA exam structure?

Broker Dealers... The SIE will likely be used as a screening tool for hiring potential financial advisors. I would think that many broker dealers will now only hire people who have passed the SIE. Technically, one could take the SIE after taking the series 7 exam. By the way, you do not have to be sponsored to take the SIE, which means that many test takers will take the exam without being affiliated with a broker dealer. Overall, the SIE should save the broker dealers time and money.

Who is disadvantaged by the new exam structure?

Potential Financial Advisors...Now, FAs have to study for and take two exams, instead of one. Also, they may have to pay out of their own pocket to take the SIE.

Unlike some of the other Series 7 Tutoring services available, we produce our own materials including suitability questions. So far, our lead Series 7 Tutor has written over 350 suitability questions. some of which he may distribute to students. Our Series 7 Tutors know how important the concept of suitability is for the series 7 exam. If you work with our primary Series 7 Tutor (the owner of Series 7 Exam Tutor) on suitability, ask him for some of the questions. We also write non-suitability questions for the series 7 exam and for other exams.

Series 7 Tutor Materials

by Michael Weiss, CFA on 10/04/17

A Series 7 Tutor should ideally have their own materials for the exams that they teach. It is a little surprising to me when I hear that some series 7 tutors do not have their own materials. I have spent the past several years developing materials for the series 7 exam and other licensing exams. It takes a lot of work but being a Series 7 Tutor and tutor for other licensing exams is my full time job. I highly encourage all of my Series 7 Tutors to develop their own materials.
