I’m building visual study illustrations like this for exam prep. This one is from an SIE-style derivatives concept, but I’m trying to make similar visuals for Series 7 topics too.

Would love blunt feedback from people studying for the 7 or recently passed:

- What works here?

- What feels unclear or too busy?

- What Series 7 topics would benefit most from this kind of visual?

My current thought is to make visuals for things like options strategies, margin, munis, bond yields/prices, suitability, order types, retirement plans, and packaged products. But I’d rather build around what candidates actually find confusing.

I’m mainly trying to see whether this style is useful and what would make it better.

Full disclosure: I'm the founder of Intellexity.

I recently launched Intellexity, an exam-prep platform with live SIE, Series 7, Series 63, Series 65, and Series 66 coverage.

The goal was to put serious exam-prep study surfaces in one place instead of making candidates stitch everything together across PDFs, notes, flashcards, question banks, and random web pages.

The platform includes structured study materials like chapters, practice questions, flashcards, formula references, concept pages, and mock exams. There is also a free public Series 7 guide if you want to see the material style before touching the paid product.

If you're studying for the 7, 63, 65, or 66, I'd genuinely value blunt feedback on the product, the pricing, and what still feels missing. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Building exam illustrations like this for SIE/Series 7. What would actually help?
