Series 7 Suitability?

Hi - from what I’ve read online and know about the series 7, suitability is heavily tested but I’m only seeing 5 suitability topics on Achieve Practice Exams. Should we be supplementing with additional suitability questions? I’m taking the exam on Tuesday 7/15 and just want to make sure I’m spending time in the right places

Hi @Donald_Glover,

You are absolutely thinking in the right direction. With your test coming up, it makes sense to focus on high-impact areas like suitability.

The five questions you mentioned come specifically from the Suitability chapter. While we only include a handful of questions from that chapter in each practice final, suitability is discussed throughout the program. There is a suitability subchapter in nine different chapters, so you will likely see additional suitability questions in areas like Common Stock, Mutual Funds, and others, even if they are not labeled as such.

Just like the actual exam, there is an element of randomness to each practice test. Some versions may feel more focused on suitability, while others may not, depending on how the questions are drawn.

That said, with your average practice exam score in the high 80s and a readiness score of 100 percent, you are in good shape. I recommend continuing to review any questions you missed, but based on your progress so far, additional study materials are likely not necessary. You are right on track.

Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to support you as you study!
