Exam Preparation - Final Words

Briefly, the Administrators mostly want you to know the definitions for key terms (i.e. broker-dealer, agent, financial advisor, security, registration, etc.) and to know what constitutes fraud. The Administrators want you to be a responsible securities professional; thus, much of the test is actually common sense.

If you have no time to study, keep this guideline in mind: if an action feels even remotely illegal, then it is probably fraudulent. Furthermore, Administrators more often than not prefer securities to be registered in their states.

Unless something is federally registered (i.e. a government security or a security listed on a major exchange), it probably has to be registered in your state. Just remember that registration creates accountability, and accountability demands responsible securities transactions.
