Introduction

Options are one of the most heavily tested concepts on the Series 7 exam. Obviously, this is an important unit! If you recently passed the SIE exam, you may already feel comfortable with the first sub-units chapters:

Each is a repeat from Achievable’s SIE program, but we included these concepts again in this program given the importance of options on the Series 7. If you feel comfortable with the options material you learned on the SIE exam, you could consider skipping to these three sub-units::

If you find yourself struggling with the advanced topics in this material, you should revisit the fundamentals and strengthen your basic options knowledge. You will fall short in the more advanced sections without a strong foundation!

For many learners, the topic of options is one of the most difficult concepts to master. If this material challenges you, you’re not the only one! Hang in there! The more practice questions you take and review, the more your knowledge strengthens.

Good luck!
