Hi it.s right about SIE that they have 10
unscored questions? Kinda phantom questions?
@Ernesto_Ward Yes, that is correct! The 10 unscored questions are randomly mixed into the 85 on the SIE, so you won’t know which are scored. You’ll need to treat all questions as if they count. FINRA includes them to test new questions for future exams. Hope this helps!
Hi Mataia,
Could you please clarify the purpose of this 10 unsecured questions included in the SIE Exam?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi @Wilson_Figueira,
Yes, no problem! The 10 unscored (or “experimental”) questions on the SIE Exam are included by FINRA to test out new questions for future use. These questions help them evaluate how candidates perform on potential content before officially including them as scored items.
You won’t be able to tell which questions are scored and which are not, so it’s important to treat every question as if it counts toward your final score.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Best,
Mataia
