What the Series 24 actually costs
The real cost is failing
At $235 a sitting, the Series 24 fee is small compared to the cost of failing: another $235 retake, a mandatory waiting period, and delay in a supervisory role your firm is waiting to fill. That's exactly why good Series 24 prep pays for itself the first time. Not sure the Series 24 is the license you need? Check the license guide or compare every exam's cost.
