Options are one of the most heavily tested topics on the Series 7 exam, so it’s worth taking the time to build a solid foundation.

If you recently passed the SIE exam, you may already be comfortable with the first three sub-units:

  • Fundamentals
  • Option contracts and their market
  • Equity option strategies

These topics overlap with Achievable’s SIE program, but they’re included again here because options are so important on the Series 7.

If you feel confident with the options material from the SIE, you can consider jumping ahead to these three sub-units:

  • Advanced option strategies
  • Non-equity options
  • Regulations

If the advanced topics start to feel shaky, go back to the fundamentals and tighten up the basics. The more advanced strategies build directly on core ideas like contract terms, breakevens, and how positions behave as the market moves.

Options can take time to master. The fastest way to get comfortable is consistent practice: work plenty of questions, then review every explanation until the patterns start to feel familiar.
