Sample Questions
Question 1
Easy
Under Regulation NMS, a crossed market occurs when:
🎉
Correct Answer: D
Solution
Choice D is correct because a crossed market occurs when the national best bid on one exchange exceeds the national best offer (ask) on another exchange. This creates an anomaly where a buyer is willing to pay more than a seller is asking, indicating a breakdown in normal price discovery. Regulation NMS prohibits trade-throughs and requires market centers to prevent crossed and locked markets through their quotation practices.
Question 2
Medium
Which of the following best describes a principal transaction?
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
Choice C is correct because in a principal transaction, the broker-dealer acts as a dealer, buying from or selling to the customer from the firm's own inventory (proprietary account). The firm earns a markup or markdown rather than a commission.
Question 3
Hard
A registered representative is reviewing how customer complaints, arbitration, and Form U4 reporting fit together. All of the following statements are accurate EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: B
Solution
B is correct. A customer settlement triggers a Form U4 disclosure for the registered person only when the payment attributable to that person is $15,000 or more; a $10,000 settlement falls below that threshold and does not require a U4 amendment, so this statement is inaccurate (the dollar amount and the supposed obligation are both wrong). The remaining statements are correct: arbitration awards are final and binding with very limited grounds for court appeal, member firms report written customer complaints to FINRA through quarterly statistical filings, and a predispute arbitration agreement channels most public-customer disputes into arbitration rather than the courts.
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.
