How to use this SIE practice module
20 original items on Markets, products, regs, AML. Timed mode is 30 minutes — a pacing drill, not the live clock. Explanations after submit are teaching notes, not FINRA rationales.
Wrong answers are the point. Flag weak sections, then sit an official practice test before you pay for the real date.
- Passing score 70. AML, SIPC vs FDIC, and primary vs secondary markets are high-yield.
