The Series 7 is a multiple-choice exam developed by the New York Stock Exchange and administered by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). It contains questions about all aspects of the securities industry -- the markets, various financial products, how the back office of a brokerage firm works and the many different regulatory requirements. You must get 70% of the questions correct in order to pass.

Yes, you do need to sell your soul and technically study for about 6 months. Worst time of my life.

Hmm.

Is it multiple choice?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Point taken. But then considering the perks that are available, I better start thinking about it, yo.

260 multiple choice questions, must get 175 to pass. 6 hour exam broken down into two three hour sessions. Sucks ass. Confusing little fucker too, they ask the same questions numerous times but with different wording to get you all confused.

The perks of having a heart attack at 23 yrs old!

im glad i have it, but it does me little or no good anymore. and my company can revoke the license at anytime seeing as i have no use for it anymore.

― Chris V (Chris V), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, okay, I'll give it a shot, then.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

EKG time! make art with your scantron sheet!

or, fill out 'b' on every answer. bound to get some correct!

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

your allowed to get 75 wrong.

― Chris V (Chris V), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok cool. So if I pass, what does that mean?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

You are a stockbroker. Of course, the only problem is you need to be working for a financial company to get sponsored to take the exam. otherwise your out of luck. Not that you are serious though...unless you are.

Ever taken the LSAT, Chris? Now, THAT is confusing shit! Which was when I started to reconsider going to law school. Should have listened to myself earlier than I did.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

and because your in la and the stock market is on EST. You'd have to be at the office for 6am for the open! FUN HUH!

Never taken the LSAT, but I have two friends who have recently passed the bar and said the LSAT was harder than the bar exam.

― Chris V (Chris V), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Well rats. Guess I'll have to work on that part first.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I took the MCAT once and it was total hell. Such testing is to be avoided if at all possible.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Yup thats what I say. My wife is studying for her LICSW, does not look like fun.

― Chris V (Chris V), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that for social work licencing (argh I can't spell)? Just guessing from the initials.

I am all delighted because I hadn't realized that there was a new OC on tonight. Yet another instance of upcoming television making my day! (Wooo my life ROCKS)

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Sure is. She is already an MSW and LCSW, I'm not sure exactly what this one does. I think its so she can supervise.

Oh! Thanks for reminding me Julia about the OC!

― Chris V (Chris V), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

thank god there's no regulatory testing or licensing requirements for whatever it is I do. I hate tests. I like quizzes though.

I like pie.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Huckleberry Pie?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

bring on the dancing Stalin!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

That's just beautiful. I cried buckets.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Always happy to help!

SaskTourism's new newsletter has an article about the Royal Sask Museum! Huck and I were just there.

Don't mind me while I revel in geekdom for a bit.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

it's about two blocks from my apt.!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I really dig the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

but is it a ROYAL museum?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

what if it was blessed by Wesley Willis? Would that count?

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not. I've never been to a royal museum.

NOW YOU KNOW MY SECRET SHAME!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm always disappointed when I go to the Museum of Science and Industry cause it was the coolest thing in the universe when I was 6 and now it's just the same shit and I'm like all old and stuff. I should go there with my little cousins though.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, go to the Royal Sask museum, it is filled with love:

love as represented by images you'd see airbrushed onto sweatshirts, it seems...

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

That's Saskatchewan for you!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been to the Royal Academy in London, which is an artists' organisation and gallery/museum. Last time I got into an argument due to an arsehole who wanted to take photos of my girlfriend in her wheelchair, and he would only ask ME - he wouldn't address her at all.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Awww, how can anyone resist wolf love? (Did I just cross over into the beastiality thread?)

What nerve! I'd have run him over with my chair then, to teach him respect. (So, I'm bloodthirsty.)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I've only been to the MOS&I twice, and it was really cool both times - once because they had trapeze artists and I was high and the second time just because I was high...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

and they had a train! and a u-boat!

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

If you say so.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Shit why did no one tell me about there being trapeze artists there? The only special attractions when I go is busloads of snotty nosed kids who hog all the cool exhibits.
Yes being high helps. Back when I would trip we tried to plan doing it there or the Field Museum but I'm glad I didn't cause you don't need to be confronted by a 20 foot heart or a ginormous dinosaur skeleton while in that state. The Field Museum (Nat'l History) and the Art Institute--esp the 'tribal' galleries-- are good to go to stoned cause I like looking at old shit. But what isn't a good museum to go to while stoned? The Museum of Buzzkills perhaps.
The Shedd Aquarium is also cool----dolphin shows! Unfortunately, the Planetarium is not the stoner paradise one would expect.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

The best part was that they gave trapeze lessons, too, but none of my bastard friends would let me do it.*

(*This is probably just as well, have I mentioned I was high?)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:10 (twenty-two years ago)

and they had space stuff!

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

i just got a hot job tip!!!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

sounds painful

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

only if I'm hired!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

well good luck then, you masochist!

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:58 (twenty-two years ago)

When come back from interview, bring pie!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)
