I want to thank everyone involved in the SIE prep course. Passed it today on my first take.
If I could offer some criticism though the test questions are worded very differently from the ones on achievable. This program is great for understanding the concepts but the questions on the actual SIE are worded more like an SAT and are more vague so it takes some thought to get to the point.
Regardless great program and I will definitely be using it for my next exam.
Congrats on passing your SIE on the first try!
I appreciate you letting us know about your experience. FINRA has a huge question bank, so your experience on exam day naturally has some randomness. Many people tell us our questions were exactly what they saw, and others say the concepts matched, but there were differences in the wording. FINRA closely guards their questions to preserve the integrity of the exam, so no one has the exact questions, but we make hundreds of updates every month to ensure our materials are aligned as closely as possible. Your feedback is well-taken and we’ll continue to improve our courses.
Please reach out when you’re ready for the next one!
