SIE Exam
Securities Industry Essentials

The Securities Industry Essentials (SIE Exam or Essentials Exam) is a new FINRA exam for prospective securities industry professionals. This introductory-level exam assesses a candidate’s knowledge of basic securities industry information including concepts fundamental to working in the industry, such as types of products and their risks; the structure of the securities industry markets, regulatory agencies and their functions; and prohibited practices.

Passing the Essentials exam alone does not qualify an individual for registration with a FINRA member firm or to engage in securities business. In order to become registered to engage in securities business, an individual must pass the Essentials exam and a qualification exam appropriate for the type of business the individual will engage in, such as the Series 7 or Series 6. In addition, candidates must also take a state licensing exam (Series 63 or Series 66). The individual must be associated with a member firm to take a qualification exam.

The SIE Exam is a 75-questions and candidates are given 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the test. It is a multiple choice exam and the passing grade is 70.
