Studying for the SIE at the moment only to find out that there are apparently 3 more FINRA exams (Series 7, 63, and 79) I would have to take.
In order of difficulty, how would you rank the SIE, Series 7, Series 63, and Series 79? I need to prioritize and determine if recruiting for PE in my first year is feasible or not given I would have to balance a full-time job, studying for GMAT, and studying for all 3 of these exams. Thank you.

Should study for the 7 first then take the 63 - good amount of crossover between the two. 63 is a pretty easy exam - should only take about 10 hours. Can’t speak on 79. GMAT will take up most of your time, but that’s something you can worry about after passing the other exams.
Thanks
I’m planning on taking GMAT before I graduate and start FT. I figure it’s easier to get it done now and then commit to the analyst stint as much as possible, since GMAT scores are good for 5 years anyways. From what I’ve heard the SIE and Series exams are not difficult and your bank will help you out a ton as far as preparing for those.
Thanks
From easiest to most difficult:
SIE
63
7
79
Thanks
I did SIE, 7, 63 (don’t underestimate this one, it can get tricky) and 79.
In terms of study materials, I used STC for all except 79 for which I used Knopman.
Thanks
