The fast and easy way to score high at exam time
Series 7 Exam For Dummies, Premier Edition includes all the help you need to pass your Series 7 exam and to reach your goal of being a stockbroker and selling securities. But the road to stock broker success isn't easy. First, you must first pass the Series 7 exam--a 6-hour, 250-question monstrosity. Unlike many standardized tests, the Series 7 exam is harder than it seems.
Luckily, there's Series 7 Exam For Dummies Premier--the perfect guide that not only shows you how to think like a financial advisor but also like the test designers. This Premier Edition of our Series 7 test guide includes 4 full-length practice exams (2 more than our standard edition).
Rather than an all-encompassing, comprehensive textbook, this guide covers only what's on the test, offering formulas, tips, and basic info you need to study. It empowers you with the ability to think each problem through and get to the bottom of what's being asked, providing you with everything you need and want to know.
