you can't take Series 7 without a company sponsoring you, and if your company sponsors you, they are most likely paying for it.
OK. Thanks. I meant assuming the company sponsors you. Thanks.
Some firms ask you to pay some money. They want you to have at least some skin in the game so you dont get your license and then just say fuck it and go do something else.
How much money are we talking about here?
Depends, some make you pay for the whole test, others half, most none at all.
