The Series 79 exam seeks to measure the degree to which each candidate possesses the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to perform the critical functions of an Investment Banking Representative. In order to obtain registration as an Investment Banking Representative, candidates must pass both the Series 79 and a general knowledge co-requisite, the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam. For more information about the activities requiring registration as an Investment Banking Representative, see FINRA Rule 1220(b) .  \nSTRUCTURE OF THE EXAM  \nThe exam consists of 75 multiple-choice items, and each item consists of four answer choices. The allocation of exam items for each major function is as follows:  \nFunction  \nDescription  \nPercentage of Exam Items  \nNumber of Items  \n\n| 1 | Collection, Analysis and Evaluation of Data | 49% | 37 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 2 | Underwriting/New Financing Transactions, Types of Offerings and Registration of Securities | 27% | 20 |\n| 3 | Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As), Tender Offers and Financial Restructuring Transactions | 24% | 18 |\n\nTOTAL 100% 75  \nADMINISTRATION OF THE EXAM  \nThe exam is administered via computer. A tutorial on how to take the exam is provided prior to taking the exam. Each candidate’s exam includes 5 additional, unidentified pretest items that do not contribute toward the candidate's score. The pretest items are randomly distributed throughout the exam. Therefore, each candidate’s exam consists of a total of 80 items (75 scored and 5 unscored) . There is no penalty for guessing. Therefore, candidates should attempt to answer all items. Candidates will be allowed 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete the Series 79 exam.  \nAll candidate test scores are placed on a common scale using a statistical adjustment process known as equating. Equating scores to a common scale accounts for the slight variations in difficulty that may exist among the different sets of exam items that candidates receive. This allows for a fair comparison of scores and ensures that every candidate is held to the same passing standard regardless of which set of exam items they received.  \nCandidates are not permitted to bring reference materials to their testing session. Severe penalties are imposed on candidates who cheat or attempt to cheat on FINRA-administered exams.  \n[Please visit](Please visit www.finra.org)[ www.finra.org](Please visit www.finra.org) for additional details.  \nFUNCTION 1: Collection, Analysis and Evaluation of Data  \n1.1 Collection of Data  \nKnowledge of:  \n• Collection of financial, performance, issuance and transaction data from various commercial and proprietary market databases, regulatory sources, internet sites of private and public companies, media and other resources  \n◦ Analysis of trends in the market and specific industry sectors  \n◦ Analysis of individual companies  \n◦ Analysis of the capital structure and valuation metrics of comparable companies  \n◦ Relative valuation analysis regarding positioning (the company’s relative position when comparing its valuation with other companies within the same industry)  \n◦ Tracking of recent securities offerings and M&As (i.e. , precedent transactions) executed by the firm, as well as recent deals executed by competitors  \n• Information found in schedules, reports, statements and forms filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934  \n• Permissible communications with clients and other departments within the firm , coordinating when necessary with legal and compliance  \n◦ Communication with clients to gather and verify information for financial modeling/financial statements  \n◦ Communication with industry specialists within investment banking and capital markets to obtain information regarding business opp","cbCaikZV8BiFec4n","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikZV8BiFec4n","pdf",262498,15,"English","# Purpose of the Exam\n# Structure of the Exam\n# Administration of the Exam\n# Function 1: Collection, Analysis and Evaluation of Data\n## 1.1 Collection of Data\n## 1.2 Analysis and Evaluation of Data","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Series 79 exam?\",\"answer\":\"The Series 79 exam assesses whether entry-level Investment Banking Representative candidates have the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform critical job functions.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Series 79 exam structured in terms of questions and functions?\",\"answer\":\"The exam includes 75 scored multiple-choice items, plus 5 additional unscored pretest items.
