Start testHow these SIE practice tests match the real exam
The real Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam has 80 questions and a 105-minute time limit. Question types: Multiple choice with four answer choices each. 75 scored items plus 5 unidentified, unscored pretest items placed randomly through the exam. There is no penalty for guessing. Each practice test here uses the same question formats, so you get used to how SIE questions are asked before test day.
The tests draw on every SIE content area, weighted like the official outline:
- Knowledge of Capital Markets (about 16% of the exam)
- Understanding Products and Their Risks (about 44% of the exam)
- Understanding Trading, Customer Accounts and Prohibited Activities (about 31% of the exam)
- Overview of the Regulatory Framework (about 9% of the exam)
Use tutor mode to see the explanation after each answer, or timed mode to practise at real exam pace. Every answer comes with an explanation of why it is right and why the other options are wrong.
