If your goal is to take the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam to move forward on the path toward becoming a securities industry professional, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a Seattle SIE tutor or online course. Any individual who is interested in beginning a career in securities can benefit from an academic mentor or class before taking this exam. By taking a Seattle SIE prep course or working with a private academic mentor, you can receive a more comprehensive overview of the material than if you were to study by yourself.
What are the main concepts covered during Seattle SIE prep?
If you attended Seattle University, Seattle Pacific University, or any other school in the surrounding area, SIE prep is helpful to review the concepts that prospective securities industry professionals must know. The SIE is a 75-question multiple-choice exam that requires a 70 percent score in order to pass. It should be noted that passing the exam alone does not qualify an individual for registration with a FINRA member or firm. An individual must pass the SIE and the qualification exam appropriate for the type of securities business they wish to engage in (Series 7, Series 22, Series 52, Series, 79, etc.).
The exam covers a variety of topics and important concepts that are fundamental to working in the industry, such as regulatory agencies and their functions, the structure of the securities industry markets, as well as types of products and their risks. With such a comprehensive exam, it is obvious how important preparation is in order to help you reach for your goals.
During Seattle SIE prep, an instructor can help go over the different concepts that will likely be featured on the exam, like monetary vs. fiscal policy, international economic factors, and debt instruments. They can also teach test strategies to increase your chances of guessing correctly if you are unfamiliar with specific questions on the exam.
What are some of benefits of SIE Prep?
There are two different types of prep that Varsity Tutors can set you up with: online courses or private tutoring. Whether you prefer learning in a classroom setting or would like one-on-one instruction, Varsity Tutors can cover all your bases.
If you find that you are more comfortable in the familiar setting of a classroom, it may be in your best interest to enroll in an online Seattle SIE prep class. The prep class allows you to take advantage of our Live Learning Platform that features video chat and an online whiteboard. In an online class, you will be working with other students who are also interested in passing the SIE. You can interact with classmates as well as your instructor, just as if you were sitting in a physical classroom. This means that you will be able to share your knowledge with fellow students as well as get instant feedback from your instructor.
If you would like to supplement your in-class experience with additional face-to-face instruction, you can connect with a private instructor. Tutoring gives you additional control of what you review, and you can spend your time as you see fit. An instructor can help you work more effectively by addressing your weaknesses and can help deepen your understanding of a wide range of topics like municipal fund securities and investment returns.
An academic mentor can allow you to dictate the pace of your sessions in order to maximize your efficiency. An instructor can also teach test-taking skills that might help you work more effectively through questions on the exam and help give you more confidence going into exam day.
You can choose between an online course, one-on-one instruction, or, if you think you could benefit from each, you can choose both. And no matter what you choose, you'll receive accurate information from a highly knowledgeable instructor.
How can I get set up with Seattle SIE preparation?
Whether it's in your best interest to learn in an online class or through individual tutoring, your prep will be led by an instructor who is knowledgeable in both the content and the format of the SIE. With flexible scheduling as well as online access to classes and tutoring, even if you find that your schedule is jam-packed, you can still find the time for exam prep. If you are interested in how professional test preparation can help you, give us a call. By reaching out to Varsity Tutors about Seattle SIE prep, you can have all your questions answered by our educational consultants so you can make the decision that's right for you.
