Inside the platform

One loop, repeated until you pass.

Every lesson runs the same beats: watch, lock it in, prove it, rehearse. It is boring on purpose. The routine does the remembering for you.

01 · Watch

One concept per video, in plain English.

4 to 7 minutes each, normal words first, then the technical layer. And when a topic hides a classic exam trick, the video stops and says so: amber on screen always means slow down.

SECTION 2 · LESSON 12

Common stock vs preferred stock

·Voting rights live with common

·Dividends favor preferred, but are never promised

02 · Lock it in

Summary notes that replace rewatching.

Every course ships with Complete Summary Notes as a PDF, the night-before read. This is a real page from the SIE notes: plain English first, then the details, with every classic trap called out in amber.

SIE Simplified COURSE NOTES · EQUITY SECURITIES

› Common stock: ownership, voting, and the liquidation line

After this lesson you can explain common stock: ownership, limited liability, liquidation order, and voting rights.

The plain-English version

A share of common stock is a slice of ownership in a company. Owners get the upside: if the business grows, the shares can rise without limit. Owners also stand last in line, which is why common stock is called the most junior security. The saving grace is limited liability: the most a stockholder can ever lose is what they invested.

The trapCommon dividends are never guaranteed: the board declares them or it doesn't, and no stockholder is owed one.

03 · Prove it

Exam-style questions, every answer explained.

Drill the concept while it is fresh. Every question explains all four options, including why each wrong one is tempting, and cites the governing rule.

SIE · SECTION 2 · QUESTION 7 OF 12

An investor holding cumulative preferred stock is entitled to which of the following?

BGuaranteed annual dividends
CMissed dividends paid before any common dividend

Why: cumulative means missed dividends accrue and must be paid before common holders see a cent. Nothing is guaranteed.

04 · Rehearse

Timed mocks, weighted like the real thing.

Full-length papers with the timing, weighting and difficulty of the real exam, then a full review of every answer. Exam day should feel familiar, not like a surprise.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Is $39/month really everything? What is the catch?+

Everything. All three courses, every video, the full notes PDFs, the complete question banks and all the mock exams. There is no premium tier above it and nothing sold separately inside the courses. The business model is simple: we want you to pass fast and tell people.

How long do I need to prepare for the SIE?+

Most students who study consistently are ready in 4 to 8 weeks. The course is 65 short videos, about 6 hours of watching, plus practice time. The free diagnostic will tell you where you are starting from.

Should I take the subscription or buy one course?+

If you only ever need one exam, $149 for a full year of access with the Pass Guarantee is honest value. If your path runs SIE then Series 7, or you want the Series 66 later, the $39/month plan covers all of them and usually costs less in total, because you cancel when you pass. Undecided? The monthly plan opens with 7 free days, so you can judge a whole module before paying anything.

What exactly do I get in the 7 free days?+

One complete module of your course: every video in it, its summary notes, and every practice question, plus the 20-question diagnostic. Mocks, the notes PDF and the rest of the courses open when the trial converts. A card is required and nothing is charged until day seven, and cancelling takes two clicks. Full detail on the pricing page.

How does the Pass Guarantee actually work?+

The guarantee comes with the $149 course purchase. Complete the course, sit the exam, and if you fail, contact us with your result: your access continues free until you pass, even past the 12 months. No refund forms, no "study hours" audits. On the monthly plan there is nothing to claim: pause or cancel whenever you like and your progress is saved.

Is the content current with FINRA's rules?+

Yes. Every course is built directly from the official FINRA content outlines, and we run a quarterly verification sweep on every time-sensitive rule and number. When a rule changes, the affected lesson is replaced, not patched with a footnote.

Do you offer the Series 63 or 65?+

Not as separate courses. The Series 66 combines the content of both, which is the route most career paths take, and it is live now. Subscribers get every new course at no extra cost.

Can I cancel the subscription easily?+

Two clicks in your account settings, effective at the end of the billing period. No retention offers, no phone call. Come back any time; your progress is saved.
