SIE Exam Practice Test

You've got the Securities Industry Essentials exam on the calendar, and what you want now is practice that feels like the real paper. FINRA's exam has 75 scored questions in 1 hour 45 minutes, and you need 70 to pass. This independent site builds full practice exams that split questions the same way FINRA's outline does, 16% capital markets, 44% products and their risks, 31% trading and customer accounts and 9% regulatory framework. Each test is drawn at random from 3,251 questions, so a retake isn't a repeat.

The quickest start is a 10-question set that takes about eight minutes and needs no account. A sample on the home page about a sell stop gapping down shows the style. Each explanation names the FINRA rule, SEC rule or official guide behind the answer. For weak spots there are drills for each outline topic, such as options, with 193 questions, and customer accounts and compliance, with 480. There's also a study guide, a study plan, vocabulary and flashcards.

The About page is direct about this. The questions were drafted and reviewed with AI tools, and each went through an author, an independent reviewer, a revision where needed and a second review, plus automated checks.

An SIE and FINRA rules expert then verified every question in November 2026. It's worth keeping in mind when an explanation surprises you.

Without an account you get one timed test a week, and a confirmed free account gets three. Both explain only the first 10 answers. A plan costs $3.99 a week, $8.99 a month or $19.99 every three months through PayPal. It unlocks unlimited tests, every explanation and your test history. You also get a missed-questions drill, ranked weak topics and a quiz builder.

Each plan starts with one free day, and the site emails a reminder three days before each renewal. Refunds are in full within three days of a payment unless you've used paid features for two hours or finished five practice exams.

The site says it isn't affiliated with or endorsed by FINRA, isn't investment advice, and carries no advertising or affiliate links. It lists a Newark, Delaware address with no company name. If your exam date is coming up, the eight-minute set is an easy way to find out whether the question style suits you.
