Varsity Tutors has a Seattle SIE course designed to give you a more convenient way to prepare for the SIE. Studying for the SIE can be a stressful experience, especially if you're a working professional or a busy student from schools like Seattle University or Seattle Pacific University. Traditional SIE review courses may not be the most attractive and practical choice since these courses require you to travel to the review center. If you're a person who already has a lot of other personal commitments, errands, or if you're occupied with work on weekdays, you might not have the chance to attend regular SIE review classes. The Seattle SIE prep course can be taken entirely online and you still study with your instructor and classmates in a live, virtual classroom. This means a Seattle SIE class is still interactive and you can get instant replies when you ask questions about the exam.
What are some of the topics a Seattle SIE class can cover?
You will cover key concepts and topics tested in the SIE. It's important to familiarize yourself with the content and format of the exam and how questions are presented so that you can answer with more confidence on exam day. Your Seattle SIE class instructor can give a comprehensive review of the different sections of the test and you can work with a group in answering questions similar to those that appear on the actual SIE.
Knowledge of Capital Markets is the first section. It has 12 multiple-choice questions that cover topics such as regulatory agencies, market structure, offerings, and economic factors. This first section is equal to 16% of your total exam score.
The second section is Understanding Products and Their Risks. This has 33 multiple-choice questions that test you on categories like investment risks, municipal fund securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and MSRB rules. It corresponds to 44% of the exam.
Understanding Trading, Customer Accounts, and Prohibited Activities is the third section and it has 23 multiple-choice questions. The questions cover categories like customer accounts and compliance consideration; trading, settlement, and corporate actions; and NASD rules. This section makes up 31% of the exam.
The fourth section is Overview of the Regulatory Framework, which has 7 multiple-choice questions that test you on topics like SEC rules, employee conduct, and continuing education. This section makes up 9% of the exam.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Seattle SIE course?
The SIE course with Varsity Tutors is a chance for you lessen the stress that's associated with test prep or reviews. Since the course is conducted online, it takes out the hassle of commuting to school or worrying about getting a class schedule that fits your availability. We actually have a wide range of course times you can enroll in and there are also weekend courses perfect for employees working on weekdays. All you need is your internet connection and you can participate in the live, interactive class. Log into your account and you can see, hear, and ask questions to your instructor and work together with other aspiring professionals in the securities industry. You can choose where you want to set up your study area - it can be your bedroom, kitchen, living room, or even a café near your home.
Aside from a very convenient way to do your SIE review, the course also has expert and highly qualified instructors. They have years of experience in the industry and in helping prepare students for the SIE, so you are in good hands all throughout your review. If you have questions about specific topics like anti-money laundering (AML), debt instruments, hedge funds, or any other topic under the SIE that you prefer to discuss outside of class, the course also gives you the opportunity to set aside one-on-one time with your instructor. This is another advantage of the course that may not be always available in a regular or traditional SIE review.
How can I enroll in a Seattle SIE course?
The SIE is your first step to securing a career in the securities industry. There are other requirements such as a background check and another qualification exam for the specific business you want to enter. However, you need to pass the SIE first in order to earn a shot at the qualification exam. If you are looking for a more convenient way to get started with your SIE test prep, call Varsity Tutors now and ask our educational consultants for more info about our Seattle SIE course.
