Timing for SIE and Series 79
Those who have taken the SIE and Series 79 for banking:
Did you study for the tests simultaneously?
I feel like studying for both of those tests and taking them during training seems very hard to do. Am I overthinking it?
Do the sie first and 79 second. Set aside a few hours each evening for studying and double up on that on the weekends.
Never took the SIE, took my exams before they switched things up. Dedicate a few weekends to learning the material with studying during the week as well, literally that is all you do, allowing for chunks of time where you are not studying is the enemy. Don't read the material, it's useless, just take the practice exams/quizes and watch the videos depending on the material you have. Study and take the SIE, Cant take the 79 until you have a sponsor so don't start studying for that until a FT offer is locked in.
Does anyone know how the tests are going to be conduted due to COVID?
I just wrote my SIE on Thursday in-person at a testing center. The testing center limited the amount of people writing at once to facilitate social distancing. They were also very anal about sanitizing everything. Had to wear a mask the entire time I was in the testing center though, even when writing my test, which kind of sucked.
Why not the online test?
SIE first, 79 second
How hard is the 79? I haven’t studied yet and got a 70% on the practice exam. I take the exam in a few weeks.
I would spend time doing practice questions then reading/drilling on specifics if there's an area you are missing a lot. It's not easy but if you put in the work you'll be fine
