Series 3

i just ordered the study material from SECURITIES TRAINING CORP. at 212 425 7255, $125, my firm paid, but you don't need a sponsor.
 
I am glad that they are not protecting me from terroists!

that is only if you are a US citizen, the FBI referred my card to Interpol and it took 3 months to process.

Any one know where/if I can get just the practice questions? I don't need to spend $100 on study guide. I would have thought they would be available on the NFA or NASD web site, but no luck.

Thanks in advance,

I took the series 3 in March of 2003.

The test cost me $75.00. Plus $200.00 for this one day course at the University of Phoenix Extension in California http://www.trainingconsultants.net

I had to retake it as I failed the test the first time. They guaranteed their course so it was free the second time. I had to pay the $75.00 for the testing fee again.

I had to open up my own business as a sole proprietor.

I had to pay the NFA $1,000.00 plus they handled my CFTC registration for I think $250.00 can't remember.

I made my own disclosure documents from collecting several different CTA docs from the Net and made my own combination. That was hard and the NFA sent them back several times for correction.

I then decided I did not want to be a glorified telemarketer, so this March I just paid the $100.00 for the CFTC registration and let everything else go. I do not want to take that hard series 3 test again, if I ever decided to trade OPM. This is why I stay registered for $100.00/year.

I did all this myself in 4 months time, without any help from anybody and no sponser or compliance dept.

I am happy for you.

How is business going?
 
why would anyone get a series 3? only reason is if you want to sell managed funds and if you are going to externally wholesale to advisors then you also need the 7.
