Start testHow these Series 86/87 practice tests match the real exam
The real FINRA Series 86 and 87 — Research Analyst Exams has 150 questions and a 375-minute time limit. Question types: Two separate exams, all multiple choice with four answer choices. Series 86 (Part I): 85 scored plus 10 unscored pretest items. Series 87 (Part II): 50 scored plus 5 unscored pretest items. Pretest items are unidentified and placed randomly. There is no penalty for guessing. Each practice test here uses the same question formats, so you get used to how Series 86/87 questions are asked before test day.
The tests draw on every Series 86/87 content area, weighted like the official outline:
- Information and Data Collection (about 13% of the exam)
- Data Verification and Analysis (about 21% of the exam)
- Valuation and Forecasting (about 29% of the exam)
- Preparation of Research Reports (about 27% of the exam)
- Dissemination and Marketing of Information (about 10% of the exam)
