Exam Alert FINRA recently announced that it plans to file a proposed rule change with the SEC to replace the Equity Trader Limited Representative Exam (Series 55) with a new exam to be called the Securities Trader Qualification Exam (Series 57). FINRA will file this proposed rule change in conjunction with the national securities exchanges proposed rule changes to similarly replace the Proprietary Trader Qualification Exam (Series 56) with the Securities Trader Qualification Exam (Series 57). In preparation for the Series 57—a merger of the Series 55 and Series 56—FINRA will conduct a detailed job-analysis survey to gather information from individuals currently Series 55 and Series 56 registered regarding their present roles and responsibilities to ensure that the Series 57 exam accurately covers their day-to-day job functions.
