Series 79 Tutoring FAQ
The Series 79 (or Investment Banking Qualification Exam) is an exam FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) designed to offer investment bankers a test more suitable to their day-to-day activities than the generic Series 7. It assesses whether you have the knowledge required to perform the critical functions of an investment banking representative, including advising on or facilitating debt or equity securities offerings through a private placement or public offering, mergers, and acquisitions.
As of October 2018, the format of the Series 79 changed from a five-hour test with 175 multiple-choice questions to a more specialized 150-minute exam with 75 multiple-choice questions. Students are also required to pass the Security Industry Essentials test (SIE) to earn Series 79 certification as part of these changes. Regardless of the changes, there is a lot to prepare for to perform at your best on the test. If you need help preparing for the exam, 51勛圖厙 can help you find a professional Series 79 tutor who meets your academic needs.
The Series 79 has three sections: Collection, Analysis, and Evaluation of Data (49%), Underwriting/ New Financing Transaction, Types of Offerings and Registration of Securities (27%), and Mergers and Acquisitions, Tender Offers and Financial Restructuring Transactions (24%). Your tutor can help you concentrate on whichever of these areas you need the most help understanding. For instance, if you comprehend underwriting but struggle with the intricacies of tender offers, your tutor can design a lesson about tender offers with your unique learning style in mind. Your Series 79 tutor can also answer any questions you have as they arise, ensuring that you never feel lost while studying.
Financial experts agree that practice exams are a vital component of any test prep strategy, and your Series 79 tutor can provide all of the practice you need. Taking practice tests can help you develop a feel for what the test expects of you, potentially easing exam day anxiety. They may also help you identify your weaknesses, which can then be addressed in future study sessions. This can increase the efficacy of time spent studying.
If you're ready to start working with an expert Series 79 tutor but aren't sure how to get started, we can help you find somebody who suits your scheduling needs. We also offer a Live Learning Platform that allows you to study wherever your device of choice has internet access. It offers a variety of tools to give you the benefits of a face-to-face study session without the hassle. Contact us today for more information
