Description

The Series 79 is a regulatory exam that is required to perform your job as an investment banker. The exam tests all the various components of investment banking, including underwriting, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), bankruptcy, financial statement analysis, and valuation.

Note that in order to become fully registered, you must also pass the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam.

Focus of the Series 79 Top-Off Exam

When the exam initially launched, it was heavily focused on math concepts and calculations, which comprised about 30% of the exam. However, the Series 79 has evolved tremendously and become much more of a regulation and process-driven exam.

You should now expect only about 10% - 15% of the questions to be calculation-based, with the remainder on rules, processes, and their applications. This is why understanding and retention are essential to your passing the Series 79.
