SIE FAQ
Why should I choose Knopman Marks for the SIE?

Our SIE course is engaging, our resources are comprehensive, and you will be supported by a team of experts whose mission is to help you succeed. Our SIE pass rate is currently 98% for the SIE Exam because we give you every tool you need from start to finish, so you can study once and study right.

Can I get a free SIE practice exam before starting?

Yes. You can download a free SIE assessment exam HERE.

Can I take the SIE exam even though I am not sponsored?

Yes, you are not required to have a sponsor to take the SIE Exam.

How do I enroll in a live SIE class?

Add All Access Pass to your course and you can enroll in any of our SIE live (virtual) courses through your Training Center, along with an onboarding call and review sessions. With the All Access Pass, you have unlimited access to our instructor-led sessions.

How many SIE questions should I complete on the Practice Exams site before I take the exam?

You should plan on completing about 1,000 practice questions online prior to taking the exam in addition to the benchmark and diagnostic exams. If your scores are not within passing range at that point, you may need to complete more questions. For best results, be sure to use unused questions when building your exams so that you continue to get exposure to new applications of the concepts.

What is the usual study time for the SIE exam?

We recommend 40-60 total study hours to prepare for the SIE exam spread over the course of 3-5 weeks while working full time. We recommend spending at least 1 hour studying per weekday, plus more time on the weekend.

How do I register to take the SIE Exam?

To register for the SIE Exam, you can enroll directly on the FINRA website and then schedule your test at a Prometric Testing Center. Prometric offers the exam at locations worldwide. Firm sponsorship is not required to take this examination, but you must be 18 years old. For more details follow our step-by-step guide here: https://knopman.com/blog/2019/02/27/how-to-register-for-sie-exam/.
