If you're ready to take a Pittsburgh Series 7 exam prep course but aren't sure how to get started, Varsity Tutors can get you enrolled today. The Series 7 is a standardized test administered by FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) to assess whether an entry-level general securities representative has the skills required to perform their professional duties. If you want to legally work as a stockbroker in the United States, you need to pass both the Series 7 and the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exams in order to obtain the requisite licensure.
That can be easier said than done, as FINRA is notorious for writing challenging exam questions that can throw test-takers off even if they have a thorough understanding of the underlying material. If you're ready for professional assistance with your test prep, keep reading to learn more about the benefits of enrolling in a Pittsburgh Series 7 exam class.
What topics are discussed in a typical Pittsburgh Series 7 exam course?
The Series 7 exam covers topics such as 529 plans, Options Disclosure Documents, investment recommendations, margin issues, and customer disclosures, so our Pittsburgh Series 7 exam class covers these concepts as well. For instance, a family of four preparing to send two kids to college has very different investment needs from an older couple about to retire. A stockbroker needs to understand how to take these circumstances into account when making investment recommendations.
The Series 7 is structured as a multiple-choice test that presents 125 items over 225 minutes. Since the test is timed, it is rarely to your benefit to puzzle over a single question for an extended period. Instead, your course instructor can demonstrate how to eliminate obviously incorrect answer choices so that you can take an educated guess and move on. You can always go back to it if time allows at the end of the exam.
What are the benefits of taking a Pittsburgh Series 7 exam course?
Every course we provide allows dedicated students to meet with a knowledgeable instructor over our proprietary Live Learning Platform. Each instructor undergoes a thorough interviewing process before we start referring students to them, so you can trust that any questions you have will be answered by a certified Series 7 expert.
Our Live Learning Platform harnesses powerful features such as a virtual whiteboard and video chat functionality to provide the benefits of an in-person class anywhere with a good internet connection. If your schedule has you in the library of a local educational institution such as the University of Pittsburgh or Duquesne University at a set time each week, you can attend an online class in that time frame. If you'd rather not have to leave your house at all, you can curl up in your favorite study spot and attend your class. Nobody likes sitting in traffic trying to get to a physical classroom, so Varsity Tutors took the commute out of the equation.
You can also hear and see your classmates on our platform. If you're having a hard time understanding the risks associated with mutual funds, hearing a classmate explain it may provide the viewpoint you need for the concept to sink in. Similarly, you might role-play with another student to demonstrate how general securities representatives are expected to communicate with prospective clients and current customers, reinforcing your own skills in the process. It may seem counterintuitive, but some students actually find it easier to learn difficult subjects in a collaborative learning environment.
Working in a group also delivers superior value for your money, as you get the benefits of working with an expert instructor for a fraction of the usual cost. You can also request a private meeting with your instructor if you need individualized help with something, so there's really no downside to trying a class to see if it's the right fit for you.
We also strive to make attending a course as convenient as it can be. We offer multiple course sessions simultaneously, including two-week and four-week options to make it easier to find a course that works for you. New courses also start up monthly, so you never need to wait too long once you're ready to get started.
