College students who want extra support in preparing for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam can reach out to Varsity Tutors for Washington DC SIE prep. Whether you're attending the University of the Potomac or BAU International University, if you're preparing for a career in the securities industry, you'll probably want to review before you sit down to take the SIE. The exam covers a variety of topics you've studied in your finance classes. There are a couple of different ways you can study, and Varsity Tutors can direct you to an online Washington DC SIE prep class or connect you with a private instructor who knows the material you're about to be tested on. When you ask for help from knowledgeable academic instructors or engage in online prep classes, you may find that you're getting a more efficient and comprehensive review than you would get if you studied alone.
What concepts will be covered during Washington DC SIE preparation?
The Securities Industry Essentials (SIE or Essentials) Exam is a multiple choice exam that explores the concepts that are fundamental to working in the securities industry, like the types of different securities products available, what regulatory agencies exist and how they work, and the things that financial professionals cannot do.
Passing the SIE with a 70% score or better is just the first step in becoming a licensed securities professional. You'll also have to look into and pass a qualification exam that is appropriate for the job you'll be doing. To take the qualification exam, you'll have to be part of a member firm. There are several qualification exams to choose from, like Series 6: the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Exam; Series 57: Securities Trader Representative Exam; or Series 79: Investment Banking Representative Exam.
As you prepare for the SIE, you may review topics like monetary and fiscal policy, hedge funds, equity securities, or municipal fund securities, but this list is not exhaustive. It depends on your understanding of the topics and what your instructor feels you might benefit from extra attention to. The SIE is comprised of 75 multiple choice questions, and you'll have an hour and 45 minutes to complete the exam.
How do the two methods of Washington DC SIE prep work?
Whether you're comfortable in the bustling energy of a classroom setting or you prefer to work privately with an instructor, Varsity Tutors can help you find the support you're looking for. There are two methods of instruction that you could take part in - a Washington DC SIE prep course, or one-on-one tutoring.
If you prefer the bustle and energy of a classroom and interaction with other students, then a Washington DC SIE prep course conducted online might be the right option. In this method, you'll meet with your instructor and interact with other students who are also preparing for the exam, and you'll connect online via the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform. You'll log in to your classroom for your scheduled session and use the video chat and whiteboard to collaborate and bounce ideas off of each other during the sessions.
If you want to study privately, there are two options to do that. You can learn virtually through the Live Learning Platform, meeting up with your academic coach for Washington DC SIE prep sessions from wherever you are. Or, you can meet in the same physical location, whether that's your home or another space. Working with a private instructor for Washington DC SIE preparation can provide more options for focused study and provide extra exposure to the concepts you want to learn more about than you might get in a traditional classroom setting. Your instructor will get to know you, including your likes and dislikes, what you know about the securities industry and what you need to brush up on before your exam, and they can create a customized plan of study. They can look for study aids they believe will help you and work well with your learning style. Additionally, they can administer practice exams to help you get comfortable taking the exam and help you gain an understanding of the format of the exam.
