Both of these options offer a variety of benefits, so keep reading to learn more about how we might be able to help you.
What concepts can I study during my Spokane SIE prep?
The Securities Industry Essentials Exam, or SIE, is a standardized test administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) as an introduction to the concepts a licensed securities trader works with on an everyday basis. It covers common financial products and their risks, how securities industry markets work, the role of regulatory agencies, and certain prohibited practices. The SIE is required in order to earn a securities trading license, but you also need to take a specialized qualification test such as the Series 7 or Series 79 before you may earn one.
The SIE itself is a test consisting of 75 multiple-choice questions administered over one testing session lasting an hour and 45 minutes. You must earn a score of at least 70 percent in order to pass. Many FINRA exams use deceptively worded questions to try to throw candidates off, so your instructor may give you sample problems to help you get a sense of what to look out for. You may also take entire practice exams under realistic test-taking conditions to help you effectively budget the time available to you.
What advantages do each of the Spokane SIE prep options available to me provide?
As noted above, we can enroll you in a Spokane SIE prep class or find you a private instructor to help you work toward your academic goals. Should you choose a class, you'll meet with a knowledgeable instructor and a group of dedicated classmates at a set time every week. Our exclusive Live Learning Platform allows you to see and hear your instructor as if you were in the same room, so asking for help is as easy as raising your hand. Why go to a class when the class can come to you?
You are also free to interact with your classmates during your SIE class, allowing you to work in a collaborative learning environment as you pursue your goals. If you're having a hard time with packaged products, hearing a peer's take on them may help it click for you. You can also explain a concept like REITs to a classmate who's having a hard time with them, reinforcing your own command of the subject while simultaneously giving you the satisfaction of helping somebody else. Best of all, studying in a group allows you to split the costs of expert test prep to give you great value for your money.
If you would rather study in a one-on-one learning environment, we can find you a private instructor willing to meet you either online or in-person. If you work online, you'll study on our Live Learning Platform and take advantage of powerful features such as a virtual whiteboard and video chat functionality to get a convenient face-to-face study experience. If you would prefer to meet with your instructor in-person, you can meet on Gonzaga University's campus, Eastern Washington University's library, or even your own home to make it as convenient as possible for you.
Your instructor can build study sessions around your preferred learning style no matter where you end up meeting. If you're a visual student, your instructor can provide infographics that engagingly illustrate concepts such as regulatory agencies to make the information easier for you to remember. If you're more of an auditory learner, your instructor can adopt a lecture and discussion format with plenty of oral repetition to help you remember key concepts. Similarly, a kinesthetic learner might participate in a variety of interactive activities to get a better handle on the material you're studying.
