Passed the SIE. Humble Review

First off, Thank you Jesus!

Secondly, Thank you Achievable.

Third, About Me:

  • This was my 1st attempt
  • I’m new to the securities industry
  • 108~ hours of achievable “study material” studying
  • around 15~ hours of youtube supplemental studying
  • 88% achievable readiness score
  • Exam scores of 81,79,75,76, and 72

Exam Review:
Read the book. And once you’ve read it, read it again. And again. A lot of questions that ensured i understood the fundamentals (common stock, preferred stock, investment companies, primary and secondary markets specifically). I felt like Achievable questions were in the same realm of the questions i was being asked on the actual test. Though harder (due to the wording, and in many times just 1 word), I genuinely felt like i was taking an achievable (no pun intended) exam.

Achievable Review:
Highly recommend Achievable, especially if you’re an audible learner. Being able to hear the audio of the text as I read, made retaining the information significantly easier. Being able to speed the audio also allows me to cover more information in a shorter period of time. especially when i needed a refresher on a certain chapter.

Thank you achievable team, and I look forward to continuing to use your services for the 7.

God bless you all and happy new year.

Congrats Kenson! First attempt as well, hey-oh! :sunglasses:

Your readiness score was much higher than mine. My experience was also similar to yours: the Achievable test questions weren’t too dissimilar from the actual test.

In fact, I’d say most of the challenge was in answer elimination and not the prompts themselves. Most of the questions I flagged for review, the answers were very close and I had to choose between two very good answers, but obviously, only one can be the better and correct answer.

What a great start to your New Year. Best of luck on wherever your path takes you next!

I also just passed on my first try! Thank you to Achievable! I really couldn’t believe it but I did it!

One question: I see multiple people here say they knew their score. I was only given a “PASS” how do I find out what my score was?

Thank you!

Congrats on passing!

FINRA used to score the score for a pass, but now they only show it if you don’t.

People posting scores after a pass now are just guessing how they did~
