SIE Exam Prep
The SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) Exam is the first step toward becoming registered to conduct securities business in the United States, and a prerequisite for nearly every representative-level securities exam that follows.
Knopman Marks has prepared candidates for securities exams for over 35 years. With a 98% first-time pass rate on the SIE, our program pairs faculty-led instruction with a data-driven methodology, and offers premium resources for candidates who want additional support to match how they learn.
