Resources, News, and Tips for Insurance and Securities Professionals.
To be employed in the financial industry you’ll likely need to pass the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam, along with a qualification exam that aligns with your career focus. Even if you aren’t sure on your exact career path, you will benefit from listing you have completed the SIE exam on your resume.
Here are five powerful ways to ensure you are fully prepared to pass the SIE exam on your first attempt.
When selecting an online course, look for a program with study tools that fit your learning preferences. Almost all training programs include at least one of the following: online self-study, study guides, video-based learning, or interactive training sessions. ExamFX offers a comprehensive SIE exam prep training program that includes all the above. We have something for everyone, including the ability to customize your package with the study tools needed to ensure success. Taking the time to prepare for the SIE exam using an online study course is important – it can make a difference between passing and failing. Not passing your exam on the first try could delay your employment by months.
Most candidates preparing for the SIE exam have competing priorities to juggle. To plan appropriately, we recommend making a study calendar that carves out time every day to focus on your studies. ExamFX offers a customizable study calendar with every course to make your planning a little easier. Stick to your study plan, and you will be successful!
Learning begins with understanding the terminology and language associated with the Securities Industry. Taking the SIE exam will prove difficult if you don’t understand the basic terms. You are a step ahead if you have a finance background or related professional experience. Good news, if you are not familiar with terms and acronyms commonly used in the Securities Industry, an online SIE exam prep program will help you master the terminology. ExamFX makes it easy for you with our focus on critical facts, online flashcards, and glossaries. Make sure to spend time committing the terminology to memory. Once you have conquered this task, the language will become second nature to you.

Don’t fall into the habit of simply memorizing the questions and answers on quizzes and practice exams. While you need to memorize terms and formulas as part of your study protocol, you also need to understand the practical application of these concepts. Incorporating real-life examples into each chapter gives learners a deeper understanding of conceptual knowledge. ExamFX offers on-demand videos and Live Focus Sessions led by industry experts that explain core concepts required for your exam. It is essential for you to grasp the material fully; that is why we provide you with a variety of effective study tools.
Practice tests are a great way to get a pulse on how you will perform on the official SIE exam. When deciding on an online exam prep program, look for a provider that offers multiple practice exams with large, separate question banks. This is important because it allows you to take the practice exam multiple times without seeing the same questions repeatedly; seeing the same question several times leads to memorization, which won’t help you when taking the SIE exam. ExamFX offers multiple practice exams, each with a large question bank filled with highly realistic exam questions.
There are several reasons why you should choose the ExamFX SIE exam prep program.
