Series 26 Tutoring FAQ
Series 26 is a license and exam that is administered by the Financial Industry Regulation Authority, or FINRA. It is also called the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Principal Exam. Individuals who pass the exam can become limited principals and are able to supervise and manage sales activities for investments companies and annuities. If you're interested in one of the positions that a Series 26 license qualifies you for, scoring well enough on the exam to pass is essential.
The Series 26 Exam takes two-hours-and-thirty minutes to complete. It is comprised of 110 multiple-choice questions, of which at least 70% must be answered correctly. The exam is split into three broad categories; personnel management activities and registration of the broker-dealer, supervision of associated persons and sales practices, and overseeing compliance and business processes of a broker-dealer and their offices. Within these categories, you can expect to find questions on topics like the Securities Act of 1933, registration, underwriter requirements and procedures, annuities types and valuations, and FINRA conduct rules.
Given the importance of passing the Series 26 Exam, many professionals choose to seek help with their test preparation process. One of the best ways to get this help is by signing up to work with a private Series 26 tutor. Varsity Tutors can help you with this process by connecting you to a tutor who is an expert on the topics covered on the exam. You and your tutor will meet online, via a live learning platform with tools that replicate a face-to-face meeting. Varsity Tutors can find you a tutor who is able to meet with you around your work schedule. That means that even the busiest professionals can still take advantage of the tutoring process.
Private tutoring works because of its customized nature, which is hard to find in other academic settings. You will work with your tutor individually, which means that every lesson can be tailored to fit your specific set of needs. This ensures that getting you ready to take the Series 26 Exam remains the sole focus of each meeting with your tutor. It also means that you can spend more time on challenging topics and less time on topics you already feel confident in. You may even find that working with a Series 26 tutor is exactly what you need to start feeling more confident in your abilities. If this type of test preparation process appeals to you, you can get started by contacting Varsity Tutors today.
