Study sequence
- Confirm trading services is your intended licence category. Check UBC course eligibility, assignments and English-language requirements before booking the exam; obtain official advice about exemptions.
- Use the current UBC course page and exam FAQ for the full trading-services examination: 100 multiple-choice questions, three hours and a 70% passing grade. Do not apply the shorter supplemental format to a first full exam.
- Study the course materials and use independent examples to diagnose concepts, not memorize alleged leaked papers. Record why the wrong option fails and revisit the related exam page.
- After the exam, follow BCFSA’s residential or commercial Applied Practice route, brokerage and application requirements. Required pre-licensing components precede licence issuance; remaining components have separate deadlines.
Revision terms
- Trading services
- The BC buying/selling/leasing service category; other licence categories have distinct education requirements.
- Applied Practice
- A BCFSA practical-training requirement with pre- and post-licensing components, not replaced by passing independent quizzes.
- Supplied simple interest
- Principal × annual rate × fraction of a year, only when the exercise explicitly supplies this convention.
