Hi, I have a question. For your OBA, were you able to tutor students who were preparing for the SIE while you were working as a licensed financial advisor, or is it prohibited to teach finance topics in general except you are no longer working as a licesed FA?

[@Achievable]

Great question! It depends on your employer - there is no rule specifically for or against this. We have heard of situations where financial tutoring has been both approved and denied.

Can I take this exam in India?

[@benco_19]

Where can I find the content to start studying? I was checking the FINRA website but I didn't find it.

[@Achievable]

Hi @benco_19, FINRA doesn't offer prep materials, you would need to buy them from a vendor like us. Our FINRA SIE course is extremely well regarded, try it for free to see if you like it - achievable.me/exams/finra-sie/overview/

[@julianacruz3335]

[@bigbadlouroma]

Is it open book?

[@yuk5523]

Lmao i wish

[@RealMikeMiller13]

Hahahahahh

[@tonyaberman3669]

Just stop with the math. You confused the issue. I only had one basic math question on the whole SIE. I understand that Achievables want to be math teachers but your overthinking it.

[@Achievable]

Hi, thanks for your comment! There's a huge amount of natural randomness in these exams, since you're only asked ~75 questions from a pool of thousands. Although the math is generally high-level, some people do report seeing 10+ math questions, so it's important to master these topics too!
