What Is the Series 7 Exam?
The Series 7 Exam is a securities qualification examination for individuals seeking registration as General Securities Representatives. It evaluates your ability to apply industry knowledge when working with clients, recommending investment products, opening customer accounts, and conducting securities transactions.
The examination covers equity and debt securities, investment companies, options, retirement plans, customer communications, investment recommendations, and industry rules.
Unlike the SIE Exam, the Series 7 requires firm sponsorship. Passing both the SIE and Series 7 examinations is part of the qualification process for General Securities Representative registration.
