About this app

SIE exam prep for the Securities Industry Essentials exam — the FINRA qualification you clear before a top-off exam such as the Series 7. 1,500 original SIE practice questions across the four content areas, weighted the way the real paper weights them, and every question explains all four options.

WHAT YOU GET
- 1,500 practice questions across 4 Domains: Understanding Products and Their Risks (660), Understanding Trading, Customer Accounts and Prohibited Activities (465), Knowledge of Capital Markets (240), Overview of Regulatory Framework (135).
- A teaching explanation on every question — why the right answer is right, and why each wrong choice is wrong.
- Full-length mock exams: 80 questions, 105 minutes, 70% to pass — the same bar as the real thing.
- 27 study notes distilling the high-yield points.
- 270 flashcards for the facts you have to recall cold.
- Progress tracked domain by domain, so you can see what is holding you back.
- Works fully offline. No account, no signup.

THE BOND YIELD LAB
Products and their risks is 44 percent of this exam, and what candidates drop is the arithmetic underneath it. So the home screen is a working bond yield lab, not a dashboard. Enter a face value, coupon rate and market price, commit to a prediction — if the price falls, current yield rises, falls or stays the same — then run the comparison. Paired columns show both prices with their current yields, the substituted calculation (annual coupon divided by market price, times one hundred), and why the coupon never moved.

WHO IT IS FOR
- Candidates sitting the SIE before a Series 6, 7, 57 or 79 top-off exam.
- Career changers with no firm behind them — the SIE is open at eighteen, no sponsor needed.
- Anyone who keeps losing products and risks and wants that 44 percent drilled alone.
- People who want a study guide that answers back, not a chapter to reread.

HOW THE EXAM WORKS
One paper: 75 scored items in 1 hour and 45 minutes, with 70 as the passing score. The weighting is uneven, and that is the strategy — Capital Markets 16 percent, Products and Their Risks 44 percent, Trading, Customer Accounts and Prohibited Activities 31 percent, Regulatory Framework 9 percent.

CURRENT CONTENT
Content version 2026.09, checked on 11 September 2026. The bank holds 1,500 items across 27 topics, each with four options and a written reason for every one. A full-length SIE practice test runs on the in-app clock against the same 70 percent bar, and it is 80 items long — five more than the real paper, on purpose.

PRICING
One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no upsells. Buy it once and it stays unlocked.

FREE PREVIEW
Five questions and three flashcards in every domain open before you buy, and the bond yield lab is the home screen, not something behind the unlock. Timed mocks are part of the paid unlock. No account and no signup required.
