Product Description
In order to become a stockbroker and sell securities, 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, and people who score below 70% must retake the test, having to wait at least a month before retaking it and paying hefty registration fees. Luckily, there’s Series 7 Exam For Dummies—the perfect guide that not only shows you how to think like a financial advisor but also like the test designers. 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 about: - Distribution of profits
- Types of securities offerings
- Investing in all types of stock
- Bond types, prices, yields, and risks
- Handling margin accounts
- Characteristics of different investment companies
- Direct Participation Programs and other types of partnerships
- Option selling, buying, and trading
- Security analysis and security markets
Packed with valuable information and know-how, this no-nonsense guide provides a full-length practice exam with answers and explanations. A bonus CD with another simulated practice test is also included. Whether you’re preparing to take the test for the first time or the fourth time, Series 7 For Dummies is the book for you! Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

 Not comprehensive August 27, 2008
The book is well-written and is nicely edited, but it does not have all the information that you need for the test. The author is nice enough to list all the things that you SHOULD know, but does not cover all them.
This book should be used as supplementary only. The practice tests are useful, but I would advise you not to spend time reading the content, as you are guaranteed to have to read another book in addition.
 A review from someone who actually TOOK the test August 21, 2008
Excellent book that won't put you to sleep when you're trying to read 700 pages from Kaplan. Keeps it easy and to the point, great reference to go along with other materials.
And, yes, I actually took the test, and passed. Using this book.
Everyone knows you can learn a lot from the dummies series. December 24, 2007
To pass the test: Bonds, Regulations, Accounts, and a few minor others, but definitely in that series. But ultimately a series of questions, a pocket of information.
 A great read for beginners! November 29, 2007
An easy-to-understand review of the key test areas for Series 7 stockbrokers' exam. Very helpful for our trainees at http://www.superinvestor.net who are starting a career as a financial advisor and value investor.
