FINRA Exams

I have to pass the SIE and S79 between now and October 31. Basically these were not required at my old shop, I lateraled to a bigger platform and now need to pass both of these.

What dates should I schedule the exams for and which should I take first? Wad thinking SIE on the 17th (exactly a week away) and the S79 on October 31. How long do you really need to study for these to get the passing grade? Any tips would be helpful. Have the Knopman Marks subscription
