What is the Series 9 Exam?
The Series 9 exam is Part 2 (Options) of the Series 9/10 exam, which assesses the ability of an entry-level principal to perform their job as a securities sales supervisor. In order to obtain a Series 9/10 registration, you must pass the General Securities Sales Supervisor exams administered by FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority).
VIEW FINRA SERIES 9/10 EXAM CONTENT OUTLINE
Although commonly referred to as the Series 9/10, these exams are structured as two separate tests. Candidates must sit for both exams on the same day or schedule them separately on different days. You must pass both exams within two years to register as a General Securities Sales Supervisor.
Candidates must be sponsored by a FINRA member firm and must first pass both the SIE and Series 7 exams to sit for the Series 9/10.
