I got another job interview for an investing firm. They require a professional battery exam that takes two hours to complete. Has anybody ever taken one of these before?

Thanks

Well I'm in Wealth Management which is completely different than an "Investing Firm" although people often confuse the two.


In my case, it was quite a few mathematical problems. Things like calculating YTM, FV of money.....stuff that's all done for me with a computer.

What is silly is that I feel like I'd probably do WORSE on it now. I took the test a week after graduating college and a lot of it was still fresh in my mind.

I don't know what field you'll be interviewing for, but in my business, the things on the test were essentially useless and barely applied to my day-to-day activites.

I will say this: I scored a 96% on it, and did the best out of everyone in my training class (30 or 40 people). However, I know several people who failed it and had industry experience.

Of note: I went to a lower tier university in Oklahoma so don't feel like I'm bragging about my level of education.

In short: it was basically a bare-bones version of the Series 7 exam.

Passed the exam. On to the interviews.
