How much do the Series 7 and SIE exams cost?
The Series 7 fee is $395 and the SIE fee is $100. Requires sponsorship by a FINRA member firm. The SIE is a corequisite.
Does this replace my prep course?
No. Use it alongside Kaplan, STC, Knopman or Achievable. It trains the reading skills those courses assume: finding the facts that decide a question and catching the word that flips it, in 3 to 5 minute sessions.
Are these real exam questions?
No. Every question is original, written from FINRA's public content outlines. FINRA's Rules of Conduct bar candidates from sharing exam content, so we never use recalled questions.
What does it cost?
SIE $49, Series 7 $49, SIE + Series 7 $79. Each is one payment for 90 days of access. Nothing renews.
What if I don't pass?
Don't pass? Show us your attempt and we'll extend your access to your next test date plus 30 days, free. One extension per failed attempt, on your own account. Send a score-report screenshot with personal IDs covered. We delete it after checking. We extend access, not results. No pass outcome is guaranteed.
Where does my first name go?
Nowhere. The name you type stays in this browser on this device. We never send it to our servers or to analytics.
What changes on January 19, 2027?
Under FINRA Regulatory Notice 26-18, the waits drop to 15 days after a 1st failed attempt, 15 days after a 2nd, and 60 days after a 3rd or later failed attempt within 2 years.
I failed before Jan 19, 2027. Which wait applies to me?
If your old wait ends before January 19, 2027, the old wait applies. If it runs past that date, FINRA says it will adjust the testing window of a pending retake on January 19, 2027, and it will contact candidates who already have an appointment. Confirm your exact date in FINRA's system.
