SIA tests

Getting an off for Wachovia Securities position. can anyone give me a heads-up on the SIA test? (Securities Industry Association Screening exam) It's an internal WS test to prepare you for the Series 7. I need some orientation so I know how to prepare. thanks

I have the same question - Did you ever get anyone to respond to this?

No. Searched and searched but never got a response.
Basically, it is a test that requires you to be hyper analytical in the first part and algabraically advanced in the second. It goes a bit beyond the basic percentages and interest related problems. Wachovia is the only one in the industry that issues these prior to hire. I was a shew in up to the test and failed it. No job offer. Hope you have better luck than I did. If you need other feedback write me at irvingrivera@comcast.net. because this forum is cumbersome. Thanks and good luck!

I took mine back in october for UBS. It is a timed test with 30 questions in the qualitative end and 30 in the quantitaive. No calculator was allowed for mine. I'm not going to lie, but the math end was very intense. I failed the first time I took it, but only by 1 point so they let me take it again. I passed thankfully, then they cut their new hire program for wealth management. So much fun for nothing...
