SIE Exam prep advice
Hello Everyone. I am thinking of taking on the SIE exam. Can you help me with some queries?
1) Does the exam have any official curriculum or book? Or do we have to rely on third party-vendors like Kaplan/Knopman
2) If you have appeared for the exam, how did your prepare for it?
3) Also in practice, do students you usually take it themselves or wait to get a job and then have their employer sponsor it for them?
employer needs to sponsor you for the exam. idk the new SIE exam names but i thought knopman was great for series 79 and kaplan was great for series 7. anyone works for series 63 as its pretty easy
Yes, you are right about the sponsorship. But the SIE exam which is the mandatory primary exam can be given by anyone even without sponsorship.
How similar were the STC practice exams to the actually SIE exam?

Firm will provide resources for you -- I think the standard nowadays is Knopman.
1) FINRA posts a guide that has the topics and # of questions per section; you can also google around to find some PDFs of the major topics covered
2) I used Knopman -- it really babies you through the content. Strongly recommend not reading the book (way too many topics on SIE for you to go that deep). Watch videos on 1.5-2x speed, take some notes (review each day) and crank out Q bank (most important part of studying). Once you're in the 80s consistently you'll be good.
3) Most wait plus you save money with the sponsorship. If you want to beef up your app, maybe it would help but I can't speak to that
