The Series 7 is where the rubber meets the road. It covers everything from municipal bond tax equivalents to complex option strategies (straddles, spreads, butterflies).

Achievable claims their “plain English” approach works just as well here as it did for the SIE. We put that to the test.

Taming the Math

The biggest hurdle in the Series 7 is the math.

  • Options: Achievable breaks down option strategies into simple, logical steps rather than forcing you to memorize charts.
  • Margin: They use real-world examples to explain “maintenance calls” and “SMA” in a way that actually makes sense.

The Platform

Just like their SIE course, the Series 7 course is built on their adaptive learning engine.

  • Efficiency: It tracks your mastery of every single topic. If you are good at Equities but bad at Debt, it will force you to review Debt.
  • Mobile: You can study complex topics on your phone without needing a magnifying glass.

Pricing

Achievable is aggressively priced.

  • One Price: $199.
  • Everything Included: Textbook, QBank, Practice Exams, AI Tutor.

This is significantly cheaper than Kaplan ($279+) or Knopman ($500+).

Scale 0-5. Ratings are our own weighted assessments.

The AI Tutor

The AI Tutor is particularly helpful for the Series 7.

  • Scenario: You are stuck on a question about a “Debit Call Spread.”
  • Solution: You ask the AI, “Why is the breakeven calculated this way?” and it gives you a custom explanation instantly.

Final Verdict

Achievable is the best value on the market for the Series 7. It takes the most intimidating exam in the industry and makes it approachable. Unless you absolutely need hours of video lectures, this is the course to buy.

Pros

  • Unbeatable price ($199)
  • Makes complex math easy to understand
  • Adaptive algorithm cuts study time
  • AI Tutor is like a 24/7 instructor

Cons

  • Video library is smaller than competitors
  • Less 'corporate' feel
