Varsity Tutors can help you enroll in a Portland Series 7 exam course and get you one step closer towards working in the securities industry. Before you can work as a stockbroker in the U.S., you'll need to pass the Series 7 exam, which is also called the General Securities Representative Exam. The course covers a comprehensive review of topics you've already learned at Portland State University, Concordia University - Oregon, or another school in the region. Enrolling in a Portland Series 7 exam class can help give you a deeper understanding of the materials covered and give you the boost you need to feel more prepared.
What are some of the topics covered in Portland Series 7 exam course?
The Series 7 exam is a regulatory licensing exam that is administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to assess the competency of those who want to trade securities. The exam can be broken down into four primary categories: seeking business for the broker-dealer, opening accounts after evaluating client adjectives, making suitable recommendations and maintaining appropriate records, and confirming transactions. Passing the exam is required to ensure you have the skills necessary to perform your job as a general securities representative.
The Portland Series 7 exam course covers topics you'll be expected to know in order to pass. The exam itself consists of 125 questions in multiple-choice format. There are actually 10 additional experimental questions, but these won't count towards your score and you won't know which ones they are. You'll have just 3 hours and 45 minutes to take the exam and you'll need to score at least 72 percent to pass. Test scores are placed on an equating grading scale to ensure that all candidates are measured against the same criterion. Your Portland Series 7 exam class instructor can provide additional details on how the exam is structured and even give you handy tips so you're better prepared on the actual day.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Portland Series 7 exam prep course?
Studying for the Series 7 exam with the guidance provided in a classroom setting offers a number of advantages over studying on your own. The exam is by no means easy, so enrolling in a prep course can help fill in any knowledge gaps you have and help you establish strong study habits. Your class instructor is there to deepen your understanding of the various topics covered in the exam from investment recommendations to customer disclosures and more.
Enrolling in a Series 7 exam course provides a learning environment that is conducive to your goal of earning a passing score. You'll be able to engage in thoughtful discussions with your instructor. During any group activities, you can collaborate with your classmates, which provides a more shared learning experience. If you have a specific question or if something is unclear, you can get answers from your instructor right away.
If you're worried about fitting a class into your schedule, you'll be glad to know that all Series 7 exam classes are conducted online. There's no need to spend time commuting to a physical location. All you need to do is sign into a virtual classroom and you'll be able to attend the classes as long as you have a stable internet connection. Just like in a real classroom setting, you can see, hear, and interact with your instructor and classmates using the video chat functionality and an online whiteboard. If you find yourself confused about trade executions or any other topic in the exam, you can still get answers to your questions. You can request to meet with your instructor one-on-one outside of class if you need additional help or prefer private instruction.
How can I enroll in a Portland Series 7 exam course?
If you're serious about working as a stockbroker in the U.S., you'll be required to take and pass the Series 7 exam to ensure you have the skills necessary to work in the industry. If you don't earn a passing score, you'll need to retake the test and pay the fee again. Enrolling in a Series 7 exam course can help prepare you for the exam and give you a better idea of what to expect. You can attend a course during the day, in the evening, or on the weekends. Our educational consultants are here to answer any of your questions. Reach out to Varsity Tutors to sign up for a Series 7 exam class that fits into your schedule.
