About this app

Prepare for the FINRA SIE with 1,500 original practice questions built to the current exam — 80 questions total (75 scored, 5 unscored), updated for the October 2025 pretest change and T+1 settlement.

THE EXAM CHANGED. MOST PREP HASN'T CAUGHT UP.
FINRA cut the SIE's unscored pretest items from 10 to 5 on 27 October 2025. Each candidate's exam is now 80 items, not 85 — the scored count is still 75. Plenty of prep material still says "85 questions, 10 pretest." Every question in this app is written to the current outline, with T+1 settlement (not the old T+2) and Regulation Best Interest used correctly alongside FINRA's suitability rule.

WHAT YOU GET
• 1,500 practice questions across all four SIE sections, every one explained

• 120 calculation questions — current yield, YTM/YTC, NAV and sales-charge breakpoints, accrued interest, margin, dividend and total-return math — every one worked and checked
• Full-length practice exams — 80 questions sampled at FINRA's own section weights, unseen-first
• Quick Quiz — 10 questions weighted like the real exam
• Learn — browse by section and knowledge area
• Mistakes and Bookmarks for focused review
• Works offline after installation

WHERE CANDIDATES FAIL
Products and Their Risks is 44% of the exam on its own, and Trading/Accounts/Prohibited Activities is another 31% — together three-quarters of every SIE form. This app weights practice the same way, so the two sections that decide a pass get the most repetition, not an even split across all four.

READINESS
The SIE reports a score from 0 to 100 and passes at 70. FINRA equates every candidate's raw score onto that scale using a method it does not publish, so this app never shows a predicted scaled score. Readiness is based on your practice accuracy and nothing else.
