If you're an aspiring stockbroker preparing to get your license, Varsity Tutors can set you up with a Los Angeles Series 7 exam prep program. Everyone who plans on working as a stockbroker is required to pass the Series 7 before they can buy and sell stocks for their clients. What's more, before you're permitted to take this exam, you first have to pass the Securities Industry Essentials exam. Many people find the comprehensive nature of these assessments to be overwhelming, which can make it difficult to study. Even students who studied finance at top institutions like Loyola Marymount University and the nearby California State University - Northridge have struggled with studying for the Series 7 and sought additional help to prepare them. Study programs like the Varsity Tutors Los Angeles Series 7 exam prep class and private exam tutoring sessions are a great place to start. They can give you the confidence and the knowledge necessary to perform well on test day.
What concepts will be covered during the Los Angeles Series 7 exam prep?
There are two versions of Series 7 prep being offered: private tutoring sessions and virtual classes. While the type of instruction varies between these two programs, the content is relatively the same. The goal of Series 7 prep is to prepare students for the exam, so you can expect to find key concepts important to stockbroking like investment risk, taxation, packaged securities, and more. Let's take a closer look at what you can gain from participating in either of these programs.
The Series 7 exam is a multiple-choice assessment. It consists of 125 questions, which you'll have 225 minutes to complete. In order to pass the exam and receive your license, you need to score 72% or higher. Because the Series 7 is a comprehensive standardized test, a lot of students struggle with it even after they've memorized the material. That's because performing well on standardized tests is a skill in itself, which your private tutor or course instructor can help you with when you join a test prep program.
Along with learning how to mentally prepare for the exam, the prep lessons also cover all the material you'll encounter on the Series 7. This means you'll review important elements like retirement plans, EFTs, taxation, and the rights of common stockholders. You'll also be able to sharpen various skills that will be assessed on the exam, such as your ability to open customer accounts, verifying purchases, and keeping customers informed about their investments.
What are the benefits of the different types of Los Angeles Series 7 exam prep?
Along with helping prepare you for the Series 7, both types of exam prep have their own individual advantages to consider. If you're someone who prefers learning in an interactive environment that promotes actual discussions and teamwork, you might want to consider registering for the Los Angeles Series 7 exam prep course. Here, you'll study in a virtual classroom on our Live Learning Platform. Using smart tools like video chat and virtual whiteboards, you'll follow an instructor as they go through the curriculum. As you review key concepts and learn new material, you can connect with classmates also studying for the Series 7. You can work as a team during the class to solve problems and brainstorm solutions, as well as share important facts and test-taking tips that benefit everyone.
You also have the option of working with a private Los Angeles Series 7 exam prep tutor. This will give you a chance to learn through a custom-tailored curriculum that's been designed with your needs and desired outcomes in mind. A major benefit of private instruction is that you can focus on key areas. Need more time studying trade executions? No worries. Your private instructor can slow lessons down and give you detailed explanations and examples that are easier to understand. You can even skip past the content that you already know so that you're able to allocate your study time more efficiently.
How can I get set up with Los Angeles Series 7 exam preparation?
If you're bored with the same textbooks and study packets and want to prepare for the Series 7 in a way that prioritizes engagement and real-world application, we can help. Just contact Varsity Tutors and ask for more information about Los Angeles Series 7 exam prep. One of our friendly educational consultants is available to answer any questions you have, and can even help you determine which method of study is right for you.
