How to Pass the Securities Industry Essential (SIE) Examination

[@MarkUgartechea]

Its an easy test just study hard and the math questions were so so basic folks!

[@masonluke9378]

Mark Ugartechea How do you recommend studying?

[@MarkUgartechea]

@@masonluke9378 Use passperfect. Read books. Follow the steps the instructors give you. Once you get to the final exams try to score at least in the mid 70s. Once that is done take a class under Brian Lee with test geek exam prep ($89) worth every penny.

[@e.walton]

Just curious, Mark. What was your purpose for obtaining licensing?

[@MarkUgartechea]

@@e.walton To become an investment broker who pounds the phone everyday. Life in sales is about creating good situations and opening new relationships with people. Great question man! Blaze that trail.

[@rooneystar3737]

Mark Ugartechea what was it like . I’m freaking out it. And about options I can’t get them down . Was it easy really ? Some say it’s hard ?? It’s 85 questions but 10 don’t count ? Then what’s the point of them . Is it just to increase your chances of passing ? Thanks

I studied Solomon exams for a year and I took the practice test every day for 2 months leading up to the test and I only recognize about five of the questions out of the 75

[@docholliday9382]

its ridiculous, they aren't testing on what is in the manual but terms not taught, its a trap to get people to spend money on retakes and more study classes so FINRA can get their kickbacks.

[@mrmikeflo11]

I’m gonna take this test soon, so I can start prepping for the series 7 exam

[@SoyInmortal1]

How did you do? Im about to start my program on the 29th of this month

[@biggieshorty]

@@SoyInmortal1 Seeing your comment on the 30th. Wishing you great success.

[@mrmikeflo11]

I haven’t taken it. I’m talking to my cousin who works at Bank of America, asking him for tips, support, and study material that he used so that I can use as well

[@TheMasculinemillionaire]

The pose in the thumbnail just screams “give me your money” I passed the sie using kaplan qbanks and reading the manual. Easy test

[@tanner9956]

I got the SIE for dummies tell me how this test is only 85 questions there is so much material i know options and equity securities. But this is absolutely insane the amount of info shit I just spent 5 hours each day for the past week just taking notes.

[@adrian22556]

Bro I didn’t spend money for the SIE my local library had the book online and checked it out it has 6 chapters very basic information well for me at least sense I’m to into stocks and Roth IRA etc anyways should be overwhelming just build a study schedule use chat gbt

[@veronicaatkins2806]

I’m taking this exam in a few weeks I want this so bad

[@1nvd]

Good luck. I need accountability on studying. I literally cannot lol

[@ejay2075]

Did you get it?

i wish i can present like this guy

He's incredible

[@tylercobb3424]

I'm currently taking this Pass Perfect class. I am having very little success retaining the information. My check your understanding and exam results are less than poor. I'm so confused as to why I'm not retaining this information. I would ask questions but I'm not even sure what questions I need to ask people to help me hold on to the material easier. I feel like it shouldn't be this difficult, but it is.

[@drengr2759]

A lot of schooling focuses on memorization. It's a skill that is easily lost if you've been in a job for several years, doing the same thing. You memorized the things you needed a long time ago, and you're not actively memorizing new things every day. The hippocampus is just like any other muscle in the body; without frequent exercise the muscle becomes weak over time. Adults who go to college later in life tend to struggle because they have lost most of the learning skills that made school easy earlier in life. I get headaches when trying to memorize a ton of information, and I try to think of it as muscle fatigue after a workout. When the material is especially boring it makes it even harder to focus, and this material is without a doubt the most boring I have ever studied. It makes my miss my chemistry and biology classes. I've realized that this path is probably not for me, and I'd guess that it takes a very unique type of person to be excited about this material.

[@orenturnbough7042]

pass perfect, more like fail perfect

[@tiffanysherman4476]

Pass Perfect definitely it’s working for me. Hours of reading to then get asked questions that I can’t answer based off of what I just read

[@irenemojocoa]

I got sponsored by my employer for the training with Pass Perfect but I didn’t pass. This was 3 years ago. I’m thinking of retaking the course, I have the workbook at home. Just scared that I won’t pass again. It’s a lot of material to understand and memorize.

[@touremamadou7371]

I did nmls exam fail did it again and pass. Think like that happen, just understand why you fail the first time

[@phantomscarz]

PP sucks

[@gunjan.ranjan]

I passed it yesterday. The language in sie material is different from what actually came in test

[@Emprress]

May I ask for an example ? I have the Kaplan book. Are you saying the language was updated ?

[@drewtruman8776]

@@Emprress I used Kaplan my first go around and have been using Maggie Shine with STC and Maggie Shine hosts live classes as well. My experience the Kaplan had better testing and STC had more that I found on the test but only one or two. My first test the language is pretty straightforward, however make sure to read each question thoroughly 2-3 times because they’ll sneak little trick words to change the question so don’t go through it too fast.

[@Emprress]

@@drewtruman8776 I appreciate this reply so much ! Definitely gonna remember your words. Thanks again!

[@drewtruman8776]

@@Emprress Anytime. Also in Kaplan, the questions are a lot harder than the actual test but use them to gage and help you with making sure to thoroughly read the questions. And on top of that I recommend Quizlet for flash cards and FINRA has a practice SIE exam on their website. Both are free and I recommend both.

[@Emprress]

@@drewtruman8776 I’m on the quizlet right now ! I appreciate all of this information so much !!! I will take all of the advice I can get.

[@fidelbaca5616]

Where can I find material on this

[@claytonsanders6421]

Kaplan

[@whoaskedforthisbs]

Kaplan... or the regular ol library

[@L3bn3ni_305]

Glad I found this, thank you!

[@Goudprateek]

Thank you!

[@docholliday9382]

I'm using Kaplan, not impressed. I can get over 80% on the practice exams but then i took the Finra practice exam. Questions on the practice exam on Finra's website uses terms not in the SIE handbook. Why? While i know what a syndicate is it asks about a syndicate desk, WTF? The terms on the test are totally different than what is taught. Its almost like FINRA wants people to fail their exams to get retake money. I know the manual but i don't know terms i wasn't taught and the exams uses double talk and double negatives like its trying to trick the test taker into choosing the wrong answer instead of testing them on if they know the information straight forward. Its sad that most of the industry is always set up to take money .

[@mohitarora108]

Hello Sir/Madam, I'm Mutual Fund Distributer from india, I'm interested to migrate USA . May I eligible to attempt FINRA series 7 License and SEC Exam. If yes then kindly guide me how ? Thank you so much in Advance 🙏

[@user-cx7vg3ze2z]

You can take the SIE exam but not licensure/level qualification exams like Series 6 or 7. You must be sponsored by a member firm for that.

[@mohitarora108]

@@user-cx7vg3ze2z how can I get sponsors.

[@user-cx7vg3ze2z]

@@mohitarora108 You have to be hired by a member firm or you may enroll for this exam directly with FINRA. but if you are really interested, I suggest take the SIE first since anyone can easily take this exam and everyone who pass series 7 is required to take the SIE exam.
