Sample Questions
Question 1
Easy
In a Delivery Versus Payment (DVP) account, settlement occurs when:
🎉
Correct Answer: B
Solution
Choice B is correct because Delivery Versus Payment (DVP) accounts require the simultaneous exchange of securities and payment. The customer's agent bank delivers payment at the same time the broker-dealer delivers the securities, eliminating settlement risk.
Question 2
Medium
When a broker-dealer opens a new retail cash brokerage account, all of the following are required EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
C is correct. A customer signature is not required to open an ordinary cash account; the customer's signature on the account agreement becomes necessary for margin, options, or discretionary accounts. Opening a retail cash account does require CIP identity verification, written principal approval, and delivery of the recorded account information to the customer within 30 days of opening (and again at least every 36 months).
Question 3
Hard
A firm opens a discretionary, fee-based advisory account for a 71-year-old retail customer who trades infrequently. All of the following are required of the firm EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: D
Solution
D is correct. Once the customer has granted written discretionary authority and a principal has approved the account, the representative may enter orders without consulting the customer on each transaction—that is the very purpose of discretion. The firm is, however, required to obtain prior written discretionary authorization, secure principal approval and ongoing review of the discretionary trading, and make reasonable efforts to request a trusted contact person under FINRA Rule 4512.
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 35 finance credentials with more than 40,000 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.
