How to Pass the SIE Exam on Your First Try 

Best of luck!!!

Could you share what video youtube you watched? Thank you in advance

@@20ricky20series 7 guru is the name of a good channel here on RU-vid

I was so lucky to meet my mentor and have the opportunity to be financially educated and guided to the SIE opportunities. I never know this existed but because I wanted to educate myself to have more control my family’s future by understanding HowMoneyWorks and the systems around it and one day and pass this knowledge to my kids. This also gave me better understanding how to manage my business and helping others which is my passion. For me this was a game changer joining the right network of independent business owners who have massive success in this field and sharing their success with me. These opportunities are rare and because I was looking I found those who took me under their wing. I was able to close a deal and land allot of future clients which gave me free access to get this license so I was very lucky to have this opportunity without a time limit to passing it. PassPerfect is the program I was recommended by my mentor and I’m very impressed with it. I also have various licenses in Insurance, Real Estate have been trained about the stock market which greatly helped me and was very expensive but not needed. You don’t have to make mistakes like I did to find great opportunities but I’m grateful it is finally yielding results so never give up! The more you work at it better you become so repetition is key and over deliver on everything you do to get results as stated in this video. It will become easier when you over perform because the extra you do will change your life forever allowing you to work smarter because of your experiences in life. All the best to you and yours!

what videos did you watch

Thanks!

Sure thing, thanks for watching!

That's great, I'm actually traying to get a job there too, and I came to this channel for study strategies.

Did you pass? I’m currently on my second interview with Vanguard and started studying just in case.

I was just offered a position with Vanguard and am currently working to obtain my SIE, S7 and S63 to secure my position as a Client Services Representative.

I may do this but I don't know much about CAIA myself so I would need a guest to talk about it.

Hmmm.. Good question. I might have something about that on my channel already but I'm not sure. I can make a future video about it. Basically my personal strategy was to write down anything that pertained to answering any of the practice questions.

Best of luck to you as well!

When work gets too busy to study during the day, you need to be making time at night! You can make it happen.

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 I’ve been studying for almost 2 weeks straight Brian Lee’s content and passed his exam with an 100% I heard from someone in the firm I’m going to to try STC as well, I found the finals exams there much more difficult. Do you think with just TestGeeks course and passing on his Exam that I should be able to pass ?

Add those minutes on to the end!!! ;)

Yes Pass Perfect

CFA EOCs and BBs!

Yea it will. It tests about weird little rules and regulations you have never heard of.

Thank you!

How is your RIA going?

Would you be willing to share how you did it. I’m looking to do it part-time

Kaplan should be good! I didn't use them for the 7 but have for other things.

Some nights it would all be on one chapter. But for some of the shorter chapters, I could cover 2 or 3 in one 3 hour session.

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 That makes sense to me. I took your approach reading mainly chapters and taking practice tests nightly from an app. I am on day 5 with studying so wish me luck

That’s great. I took your advice and right now clocked in at 63 hrs and 30 mins (the last two days I did one hour nights). Going to hit the 100 minimum by end of month

I don't know if it exists anymore. Just look for Kier.

Yes I felt the questions were pretty similar!

I never opened the book and passed it 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@usernotfound904how is that possible?

Do you have a finance background?

@@user-lp9ge4hi3u i had passed L1, but it didnt help @ all with studying for that exam. I have a back office job, so somewhat I guess. Regardless of ur background, if u grind i cant see this taking more than a week to prep for

SIE can till be useful, if they ask you to talk with clients on the phone.

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 I see, if anything at least it shows interest. Thank you.

The SIE is the coreq for the Series 6 and 7 licensing exams. I also work in wealth management and don’t know many people that don’t have at least a 6 and 7 (unless they’re in operations). Not having the licenses may not hurt you in your current position, but you’re severely limiting your opportunities in the future. I say take the exams if your firm is sponsoring you.

@@tabber87 you're definitely right. But I'm leaning toward more analyst rooms and less toward client/sales like wealth. That's why I'm saying cfa would be more ideal

No, it is just for the U.S. And it is much much easier than the CFA.

Hey Shelby, Learning always feels like failing!!! All you can do is more reps. Practice those same questions over and over until you have taught yourself how to answer them correctly. Its a grind but you can do it.

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 thanks for the reply I’ll keep at it !!

@@shelbymalbrue9785 did u pass??

36 HOURS OF PRACTICE QUESTIONS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. NO OTHER CHOICE!!!

@Angelique Jackson I failed by a point smh

I used Pass Perfect myself and liked it really well.

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 Thank you!

I liked Pass Perfect by Keir

Best of luck!!

Dont give up

If you are going to go into anything in wealth management, starting with the SIE can be a good idea. Its cheap and easy.

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 Thank you!

Pass perfect by Kier

I'm not sure, but FINRA will have that answer on their website.

Yea that should be enough for the SIE.

That seems very expensive. Both courses are $120. Did you end up doing STC as well or just Brian Lee?

@@mehaulMC Yeah I did both, ended up missing the SIE by like 2 questions, may have to try again next time. A lot of people said it would be a lot of regulatory questions but that wasn’t what I got, when you get a batch of 5000 random questions anything is possible :P

@@armongabril7283same just happened to me missed it by 2 questions I was getting a bunch of options questions on the practice tests and im a trader then I got 1 on the real test

That's up to you and Google.

When I took the exams they gave you a score.

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 got it! 😊

LOL that would take a real grinder.

LULZ yes.

No I don't believe so.

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 Thanks for the reply. I did practice tests and I see I can answer 75% correctly. I dont need to study but I would take test online and be done with it. Hope they can make other licenses available too.

Being slow at math definitely doesn't help in a job as a financial advisor, but it won't kill you either. Calculators are our friends!

Lol

@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 what are your thoughts on the new CFA format?... seems to me like they're adopting a lot of the FMVA materials into the new curriculum

@@bluehorseshoe444 Working on a video about that now.
