Sample Questions

Question 1 Easy
An agent's registration with the Administrator becomes effective at what time?
Solution
D is correct. Under the Uniform Securities Act, an application for registration (including that of an agent) becomes effective at noon of the 30th day after a complete application has been filed, provided no denial order is in effect and no proceeding is pending.
Question 2 Medium
When a registered agent terminates employment with one broker-dealer to join another, all of the following are true under the Uniform Securities Act EXCEPT:
Solution
B is correct. A state registration is tied to a specific broker-dealer; it does not move automatically when the agent changes firms. The prior firm must file Form U5 to terminate the registration, and the new firm must file a Form U4 to register the agent before the agent acts on its behalf. Notice of the termination is the joint responsibility of the agent and both broker-dealers.
Question 3 Hard
Dashiell, a registered agent in States X and Y, experiences several events within the same month. Under the Uniform Securities Act and the uniform registration forms, each event obligates him to act as described EXCEPT:
Solution
C is correct. Completing a continuing education session is an internal training requirement and is not information reported on Form U4, so it triggers no amendment. The remaining events are each reportable: a new residential address is a material change, a felony charge is a criminal disclosure even when unrelated to securities, and a customer complaint settled for $40,000 exceeds the reporting threshold for settled sales-practice complaints. Each of those events requires a Form U4 amendment.

FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance on the first attempt, and paid four-figure prep fees for every one. The learning itself was always free. The price was a moat.

So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 40 finance credentials with more than 45,000 original practice questions. The name says exactly what it is: the question bank is free, and Fellow is what you become once you pass.

01
Cost shouldn't decide who gets in.

The exam is a fair gate. A four-figure prep course is not. FreeFellow takes the second gate down, so the exam is the only one left.

02
Free should mean free.

No trial clock, no email gate, no credit card. The question bank, worked solutions, lessons, and readiness score stay free, and they are enough to pass.

03
Built by someone who sat where you sit.

He paid for the big-name courses, found nothing he respected, and built the prep he wished had existed. Not a marketing team that has never sat an exam.
