Series 4 Tutoring
A private tutor may be exactly what you need to help you pass the Series 4 exam. A skilled Series 4 tutor can make a large impact on your mastery of the Series 4 material in a relatively short period of time. Private tutoring is most effective when preparing for the Series 4 exam under the following scenarios:
- You have prepared for the Series 4 exam by reading the textbook fully, taken a large number of Series 4 practice exams and are having trouble mastering the information or are facing challenges applying the knowledge required by the Series 4 exam. Or,
- In addition to the Series 4 exam preparation detailed above you have taken the Series 4 exam and did not pass the test and you are scheduled to retake the Series 4 exam in the next few weeks. Or,
- You’re a industry veteran who is now being required to become registered and have a very limited amount of time to prepare for the 4 exam.

Why Use A Series 4 Tutor?
It Makes a Difference
Working one on one with a Series 4 tutor just prior to taking your Series 4 exam can make all the difference in the world. A Series 4 tutor will make sure you are focused, have mastered the Series 4 material and are confident in the application of the knowledge during your Series 4 exam. For Series 4 candidates who are getting ready to take the Series 4 exam for the first time or who have taken the Series 4 exam and missed passing the exam by 1 – 12 points, 4 – 8 hours of tutoring are usually enough to ensure you pass the Series 4 exam.
Series 4 Tutoring Case Study Number 1
The manager of a large OSJ left and a recent Series 4 candidate was being appointed as the new manager. The office had a large number of representatives and did a fair amount of option business. In order to get the promotion the candidate had to pass the Series 4 exam.The candidate had spent a significant amount of time preparing for the Series 4 exam. However, he was not able to master the more complex option strategies such as condors, butterflies and margin requirements for uncovered options. Most people who take the Series 4 exam have a good understanding of basic option strategies but have not encountered the more complicated positions.
Solution
One of our Series 4 instructors who developed a large portion of our options training material administered an evaluation exam and reviewed the candidate’s results. It became clear the calculation used to determine the margin requirement for uncovered options was presenting a significant challenge. The candidate was also unable to create and evaluate complicated option structures. Our instructor spent a total of four hours virtually tutoring this Series 4 candidate focusing on the math calculations and explaining how each leg of a butterfly spread was established. Once the sessions were complete the Series 4 candidate had a mastered the material and passed the Series 4 the following week.
