Training is more like 6-8 weeks and your bank will provide you everything you need. It's really not worth trying to study in advance. The SIE takes a week or two to study for, the 79 3-4 days. the 63 1-2 days. They just are not difficult enough to be worth any attention right now, the pass rates from Knopman (training most banks use) are like 97%+.
If you have free time now and are dying to start, there seems to be a few SIE prep materials online and practice quizzes for free. But enjoy your last semester of freedom honestly
So when do first year analyst get “real work”?
