Sample Questions

Question 1 Easy
State securities laws, commonly referred to as blue-sky laws, serve which of the following primary purposes?
Solution

Choice B is correct because blue-sky laws are state-level securities regulations that typically require the registration of securities offerings, broker-dealers, and investment adviser representatives within the state. Their primary purpose is to protect state residents from fraudulent or speculative securities schemes. Blue-sky laws operate alongside federal securities laws, creating a dual regulatory framework.
Question 2 Medium
Under the JOBS Act, an issuer conducting a Regulation Crowdfunding offering is subject to which of the following limitations?
Solution

Choice D is correct because Regulation Crowdfunding, adopted under Title III of the JOBS Act, limits issuers to raising a maximum of $5 million in aggregate from all investors during any 12-month period. This cap was increased from the original $1.07 million limit under amendments that became effective in March 2021. The offering must be conducted through a single SEC-registered intermediary — either a registered broker-dealer or a funding portal.
Question 3 Hard
Under FINRA Rule 2210, which category of communication requires principal pre-approval before first use?
Solution

Choice B is correct because FINRA Rule 2210 classifies communications into three categories: correspondence, institutional communication, and retail communication. Retail communications — defined as any written communication distributed or made available to more than 25 retail investors within any 30-calendar-day period — require approval by a registered principal before first use or filing with FINRA.
