Based on published standards

The questions are original scenarios, and each one names the public standard, official guide or research it draws on — shown under the question while you answer, and linked in your review. These are the sources behind this test:

Under the Uniform Securities Act, an agent who leaves one broker-dealer to join another must notify the administrator

  1. promptly, along with both broker-dealers
  2. only if the client complains first
  3. within one year of the move
  4. never, as registration transfers itself
Show the answer

A. promptly, along with both broker-dealers — Registration follows the firm relationship. The real test has 20 questions like this.
