Education: Bachelor's Program, Department of Economics, National Dong Hwa University

During this semester and the summer vacation, I took a total of five finance-related examinations: the Fundamental Integrated Test for Banking and Finance (FIT) – Subject I 【Accounting + Money and Banking】, the Trust Business Professional Examination for Trust Enterprise Personnel, the Financial Technology Knowledge Certification Test, the Qualification Examination for Derivatives Sales Personnel, and the Financial Markets and Professional Ethics Certification. My main preparation method was to combine practicing past examination questions with studying professional reference books. I recommend starting with the Financial Markets and Professional Ethics Certification, followed by the Financial Technology Knowledge Certification, the Derivatives Sales Personnel Qualification, FIT (Money and Banking + Accounting), and finally the Trust Business Certification. The Trust Business Certification is more difficult, but computer- or tablet-based examinations tend to include more questions similar to those from previous exams, so it is important to become thoroughly familiar with past examination questions. There are fewer past questions available for the Financial Technology Knowledge Certification and the Derivatives Sales Personnel Qualification. If you do not want to purchase professional reference books, you can purchase JY Value Notes, which present the material clearly and allow you to review the examination content within a relatively short period of time.

In fact, financial certification examinations are generally quite similar. However, this experience taught me that when facing difficult examinations, in addition to investing sufficient time in preparation, it is equally important to develop the right mindset, stay focused, and read each question carefully. Passing these examinations not only affirmed the effort I had put in, but also gave me a deeper understanding of various areas of financial knowledge, laying a solid foundation for entering the financial industry in the future.
