On Achievable, I have gotten 87, 72, 85, 85, 87, 87, 72, 85, 87, 87, and 91 on my practice tests. After getting a 91, I felt confident enough to try the FINRA mock exam today. I know it has been discussed here, but I was surprised by how different the questions were worded. I got a 77, so I am concerned that I am not as ready as Achievable seems to think (my “readiness score” is 100%). Additionally, the questions I missed were all over the map, so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where I might be missing info or weaker. Am I overthinking the FINRA practice test results? My test is on Monday.
Hi, congrats on your scores so far!
I reviewed your account, and it looks like you’re doing well overall. I did notice that you’re going through the questions extremely quickly, often in less than half the time, which indicates you’re getting accustomed to our wording. Make sure you slow down to focus on the concepts rather than jumping straight to an answer that seems familiar!
FINRA has thousands of questions in its SIE question bank, as do we. Some of the questions are nearly identical, and some have more variation. You’re only asked ~75 on exam day, so there’s no telling what kind of questions you’ll be asked or their format. All you can do is prepare thoroughly!
