If you’re in the middle of studying for the Series 7 Exam, today we share what you get out of serious Series 7 sessions…tutoring sessions, that is.
In this post, we specifically share what feedback we receive about why students enjoy our tutoring – and how it can help for your studying process.
Serious Series 7 Sessions: Faster Learning
Without burying the lead, the most significant advantage from having a tutor is accelerated learning.
While a small sliver of the population can learn quite quickly on their own, the average person (us included) that reads a textbook may need to re-read, or reinforce what they’ve read with a dozen practice questions on the same topic.
However, absorbing the really important points of a topic can be greatly accelerated. Especially when you have someone that can cut through much of the noise. We are here to help focus your mind on the core takeaway from different subjects.
Decipher Jargon
Often, learning a topic involves also understanding the words used to define the topic. For most people, this can mean many hours spent down a rabbit hole on Investopedia.com. While the site is a great resource, explaining jargon with more jargon can compound confusion.
An effective tutor, can often present simple real world experiences to help simplify a concept. This is usually what drives home complex topics for most people. These simple shortcuts will kickstart your studying, and accelerate your progress.
We find that students on average spend somewhere between five hours and 10 hours trying to learn difficult topics, such as Options, on their own. On the other hand, we can usually provide enough of the basics to get you going in less than two hours.
Practice Questions Explained
The other major advantage of Series 7 tutoring is when it comes to practice questions. Reviewing practice questions with an experienced tutor will ensure that you don’t have to spend countless hours reading, and rereading explanations in order to understand where you went wrong, or perhaps guessed right.
On many occasions, practice questions are worded in such a way to intentionally confuse, or confound the reader. Having a “translator” of sorts to help you navigate the common tricks used can also get you through studying in less time. There are only so many ways that a question can be asked, and we can help you pinpoint keywords.
Overall, a Series 7 tutor is certainly not necessary to pass the exam, but for someone on a time crunch it will definitely give you a boost! Good luck!
