Where each one wins
- Cheapest full course with a guarantee: Achievable at $199 for 12 months.
- Firm-standard brands: Kaplan, STC and Knopman are common choices for firm-sponsored training programs; if your firm pays, use what it provides.
- Guarantees: STC and PassPerfect guarantees apply only to top tiers and require minimum practice scores; read the terms before paying extra for them.
- Where we fit: $119 alone, or $149 for SIE + 7 + 63 and $179 for SIE + 7 + 66, all with 12 months and a free extension until you pass. No video lectures or live classes, and our bank is new.
How to choose
- If your firm pays, use the firm’s provider. Many sponsors have a standard vendor.
- Self-funding? Compare total cost for your full path, not one exam. A broker path is three exams (SIE + 7 + 63).
- Access length matters if your exam date might slip: 5-7 months vs 12.
- Test the questions first. Every vendor here offers free samples; try ours on the free practice test.
