SIE · Current Content Outline
SIE practice, built to FINRA's 2025 outline.
80 items · 75 scored · 105 minutes · four sections
A full-length SIE simulator built to FINRA's published format — one continuous form, free navigation, a worked solution on every item.
No sponsor is needed to sit the SIE — and none is needed to practice.
FINRA does not state how the 5 unscored pretest items are distributed; this simulator spreads them in proportion to section size.
Our forms are built to the current blueprint weightings, and we show you the split every time you finish.
No account needed before the test.

How it works
Take the full-length form under the clock
80 items (75 scored, 5 unscored pretest), 105 minutes, one continuous form, move between items and change answers until you submit.
Read the rationale on every item you missed
Each item carries a full explanation, and every calculation carries its working line by line.
Work your weakest section against its blueprint target
Your result is broken out against the current targets — 12 / 33 / 23 / 7 scored items — so you know where to spend time.
FINRA does not state how the 5 unscored pretest items are distributed; this simulator spreads them in proportion to section size.
Navigation is modelled on FINRA's PROCTOR® tutorial: Previous/Next, mark-for-review once an item is answered, and a review list of answered items.
