Questions buyers ask
- What is the cheapest way to prepare for the FINRA SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) exam?
- Start with what costs nothing: 470 practice questions on PrepPass, with explanations and no signup. If you want it taught in one file you keep, the full study guide is $14.99 once; the printable cram sheet for the last days is $6.99. No subscription on any of them.
- Who administers the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam?
- Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) — exam delivered by Prometric. FINRA develops and administers the SIE; candidates test either at a Prometric test center or online. Association with a broker-dealer is not required to take it, and a passing result is valid for four years. Passing the SIE alone does not register anyone: a representative-level qualification exam such as the Series 7, taken through a sponsoring firm, is still required.
- How many questions are on the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam?
- 80 questions (75 scored, 5 unscored pretest). FINRA's content outline: each candidate's exam "consists of a total of 80 items (75 scored and 5 unscored)", the unscored pretest items unidentified and scattered through the exam. FINRA's own at-a-glance box says "Number of Questions: 75" — that is the scored count, not the number of items on screen. There is no penalty for guessing.
- How long is the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam?
- 105 minutes. FINRA: "Candidates will be allowed 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the SIE exam." FINRA's SIE page states the same duration. Candidates approved under FINRA's Limited English Proficiency policy receive extra time.
- What is the passing score for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam?
- Scaled score of 70 on a 0–100 scale. FINRA's words: "The passing score for the SIE is 70 (on a scale of 0 to 100)." Scores are equated onto a common scale to adjust for small differences in difficulty between exam forms, so this is a scaled score and not a percentage of questions answered correctly. If you fail, FINRA requires a 30-day wait after the first and second attempts and 180 days after the third and each later attempt.
- How much does the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam cost?
- $100 — SIE exam fee (FINRA, per attempt). FINRA's FAQ: "The cost of the SIE exam is $100." The SIE page's at-a-glance box shows the same figure. FINRA publishes no separate retake price, so each attempt is a new enrollment at this fee.
- What languages is the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam offered in?
- Not published by FINRA. None of FINRA's SIE page, content outline, SIE FAQ or Limited English Proficiency page names the languages the SIE is offered in. The only language provision FINRA publishes is extra testing time for candidates whose primary language is not English and who meet its LEP criteria — more time, not a translated exam. PrepPass does not infer a language list FINRA has not stated.
- Does the FINRA SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) cram sheet come as a PDF?
- Yes — FINRA SIE — Cram Sheet (2026) downloads as PDF, 21 pages. The download link is emailed the moment payment clears and does not expire.
- How much does the FINRA SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) cram sheet cost?
- $6.99, once. There is no subscription and no account to create; the PDF file is yours to keep.
- Are there free FINRA SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) practice questions?
- Yes — 470 of them, free to use with no signup and an explanation on every one. They are separate from this cram sheet, which is what you are buying here.
- What is the difference between the FINRA SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) study guide and the cram sheet?
- The study guide ($14.99) teaches the material chapter by chapter and is meant to be read over weeks. The cram sheet ($6.99, 21 pages) drops the teaching and keeps the figures: every number on the exam grouped by value so the confusable ones sit together, each reference page paired with a recall page that blanks the answers, and four routes by days left — 14, 7, 3, or tonight. They are separate purchases; neither replaces the other.
- Is there a cheaper way to buy the FINRA SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) cram sheet with anything else?
- Yes. FINRA SIE + Series 6 is $24.99 for 4 files in one checkout — 46% less than the $46.96 those items cost bought separately today. It adds FINRA SIE — Complete Study Guide (2026), Series 6 — Funds & Variable Contracts Study Guide (2026), Series 6 — Cram Sheet (2026). The saving is measured against the items' real current prices; there is no struck-through "original" price on this site.
- Is this the official FINRA SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) cram sheet?
- No. This is an independent cram sheet and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the exam's awarding body. It is written from FINRA SIE content outline / SEC & FINRA rules. Always confirm current requirements with the body that issues your licence.
