Best SIE prep
Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam
The industry's entry-point exam covering securities products, market structure, regulatory framework, and prohibited practices. It is the first exam most candidates take, and the usual starting point for anyone exploring a securities career before joining a firm.
Best Series 7 prep
General Securities Representative Qualification Examination (GS)
The core registered-representative exam. Passing it (together with the SIE and a state-law exam) qualifies a candidate to solicit and trade the full range of securities products at a broker-dealer.
Best Series 63 prep
Uniform Securities State Law Examination
The state-law exam most registered representatives pair with the Series 7. It covers state securities regulations (blue-sky laws), registration requirements, and ethical practices for agents of broker-dealers.
Best Series 65 prep
NASAA Investment Advisers Law Examination
The exam for investment adviser representatives (IARs). It is the usual route into fee-based advisory work at an RIA, and, unlike the broker-dealer exams, is commonly taken without any firm sponsorship.
Best Series 66 prep
NASAA Uniform Combined State Law Examination
The combined exam covering both agent state-law and investment-adviser content, qualifying you in the two capacities the Series 63 and Series 65 cover separately. It is typically paired with the Series 7 by advisors who need both broker-dealer and advisory registrations.
