passed the SIE exam, now studying for Series 57

Discussion in 'Trading' started by TradeBlazer, Mar 29, 2024.

  1. Something I noticed after completing the SIE exam was how simple the questions were, as if they were more general and less detailed. Few of them, maybe less than ten, actually got down into dirty details of the subjects. Most question were not so detail oriented. I studied a lot for that exam and found myself going crazy trying to memorize so many nuances and details. But that wasn't what I saw on the exam.

    Now that I am studying for the Series 57 I am wondering if I can expect the same thing? Anyone know?

    I am using the study materials provided by the Securities Training Corporation.

    First of all, congratulations. You've finally got yourself in the door. What do you plan on doing after you pass the S-57?

    Yes, I thought the 57 was harder than the SIE, but I passed on the first try.

    I used Kaplan, but you'll be fine with STC. Both have a good rep.

    The Series 57 is more detail-oriented than the SIE. Expect deeper questions on market mechanics and regulations.
