I am an undergraduate Finance major currently contemplating pursuing
Series 7 certification through self-study.

Please help me work through the following quick issues regarding this
examination - all these short concerns should be rather easy to answer
for someone with prior experience.

Thank you!

Basics of the Test:
- Who is qualified to take the Series 7 exam, and what is the cost for
the test / licensing?  (and does one need a sponsoring
corporation/firm?)
- What are some recommended study materials?  (saw plenty of materials
on Amazon - what comes highly suggested?)
- Where can I find a large collection of sample questions / practice tests?

Marketability of Series 7:
- Once certified, how much marketability / practical edge does the
Series 7 provide?

Progression of Testing:
- What is the progression of Brokerage / Money Management
certification after completing the Series 7?
