The Operations Professional exam can give you the credentials you need to begin your career, and Series 99 prep courses can help you understand, retain, and apply the knowledge and skills you need to improve before test day arrives. We provide you with a dedicated Series 99 prep course instructor who can help you focus on the areas where you need the most help, whether it's learning how to deal with clients, handling and transferring securities properly, reconciling records, or making sure you know the ins and outs of your regulatory responsibilities. If you're not sure where you should be concentrating your efforts, your instructor can identify your knowledge gaps to customize your Series 99 prep classes.
Here is a quick overview of the details of the exam you'll be studying for in your Series 99 classes:
Series 99 Exam Format
Question Format | # Questions | Time Allowed | Passing Score | Corequisite |
Multiple-Choice | 50 | 90 Minutes | 68% | SIE Exam |
A Series 99 course can help you focus on the topics on the exam, but tutors also prioritize making sure you have solid test-taking skills. With the proper strategies, you are more likely to realize your potential on exam day. Time management skills, strategies to handle difficult multiple-choice questions, and relaxation techniques could all play a factor in your performance on the Operations Professional Exam.
Of course, your personalized Series 99 prep class will also be substantive. There's a lot for you to know, and the follow list shows some of the topics you can work through during your Series 99 classes:

When you work with a Series 99 tutor, you get to learn in the ways that are most productive for you. Your class instructor can adapt their teaching approach to match your learning style, whether that means diagramming the flow of a securities transaction on a whiteboard, discussing concepts in depth, or working alongside you through sample questions. Your instructor can also work you through the material on the exam at a pace that's comfortable for you. This strategy ensures that you have the opportunity to fully understand regulatory concepts or client management before moving on to something else.
