SIE Exam - Worth it as a junior?

Hi all,

Title really says it all. I'm currently a junior at a small liberal arts college (big target), and currently in the interview process for WM/PB summer analyst roles. I'm wondering if I should spend my month-long winter break studying for and then taking the SIE. Is it an asset on my resume for FT recruiting next year? I have a couple superdays coming up but I may get nothing so I want to maximize my credentials. 

Is it worth it?
