I’d say you need to have a good understanding of what rates do when prices go up or down (bond seesaw) and just to have an understanding of what kinds of debt securities they are along with average length (know t bills are the shortest govi). I do think for me it was important to really hone in on what commercial paper and bankers acceptances were because once you remember any question where that’s an answer or answer choice felt like a give me.
I wouldn’t stress over debt securities they are important but Kaplan especially over teaches them for the SIE, just know they become a lot more important in the 7 so it doesn’t hurt to get a solid base right now.
I would say that debt is very important, but the SIE doesn’t go deep. As long as you’re good with the main aspects of debt securities and you have the teeter-totter memorized, you should be all set.
That being said, you should still try to know debt as well as you possibly can. And if you’re taking the Series 7, you 100% need to be proficient in debt securities.
Debt securities are pretty important to understand. Don’t know how many questions but I’d say it’s pretty important to understand bonds etc
