📘 What’s Included in the Series 7 Prep Toolkit?

FINRA’s toolkit is designed to demystify the exam process and provide candidates with direct insight into the format, topics, and expectations. The toolkit includes:

• ✅ Series 7 Content Outline
  Breaks down the four key job functions covered in the exam and the percentage weight of each section.
• ✅ Sample Questions & Answer Explanations
  Realistic, exam-style practice questions to test your knowledge and provide insight into FINRA’s question structure.
• ✅ Test-Taking Strategies
  Guidance on time management, pacing, and how to approach scenario-based questions.

  A step-by-step guide for registering, scheduling, and preparing for test day—including what to bring and what to avoid.
• ✅ Performance Feedback Tips
  How to interpret your exam score report and plan for a retake if needed.

📊 Why It Matters

The Series 7 exam is a 3-hour and 45-minute test consisting of 125 scored questions and 10 unscored pretest questions. It covers a wide range of topics including:

• Equities and debt instruments
• Options and margin
• Customer accounts and suitability
• Regulatory compliance and procedures

FINRA’s official toolkit helps reduce uncertainty, especially for first-time test-takers, by offering transparent, standardized prep guidance.

🎓 Who Should Use It?

• First-time Series 7 candidates
• Training managers at broker-dealers
• Career switchers entering the securities industry
