To get a series 7, a firm must sponsor you to take the exam. You ahve to fill out xomething called a U-4, which goes over background info and credit. Then you can sit for the exam.
For study materials, I used Dearborn a while ago, but STC (Securities Training Corp) is what our firm uses now. There are fees to take the exam, which run about 650 bucks or so. Also, you will need more than a series 7 to begin selling, states have other exams that arae needed. They call that a Series 63, 65, or 66 usually.
