Complete SIE Prep for About $18

$17.99 with our site coupon — a one-time payment with lifetime access, no subscription and no expiring study window. For comparison, the major SIE providers run from $99 for self-study up to $895 for institutional coaching tiers. See the full breakdown on our comparison page.

Yes — it covers FINRA's full content outline with section quizzes and timed mock exams. Students who want extra test reps add the companion six-exam practice course.

No — that's separate. FINRA charges $100 to sit the SIE, paid directly to FINRA when you enroll. No prep provider includes it.

Yes. Enrollment goes through Udemy, so Udemy's 30-day money-back guarantee applies. Refunds are requested and processed inside your Udemy account — Pangolin Edge doesn't handle billing. Udemy applies some eligibility limits, so their current refund policy is the authority.

No. Udemy enrollment is lifetime access, including future updates to the course. Several competitors sell time-boxed access instead — Achievable's SIE product, for example, runs on a 12-month window.

75 scored questions plus 5 unscored pretest questions — 80 total — in a 105-minute window. Multiple choice, four options each, with no penalty for guessing. Passing is a scaled score of 70. You can practice the real format with our free 75-question diagnostic.

Four FINRA sections: Understanding Products and Their Risks at 44%, Understanding Trading, Customer Accounts and Prohibited Activities at 31%, Knowledge of Capital Markets at 16%, and Overview of the Regulatory Framework at 9%. Both the course and our free practice exam follow those same weights.

Most candidates need two to four weeks at roughly one to two hours a day. Closer to two weeks if you're coming from a finance degree, closer to four if you're new to the industry. We publish free 2-week and 4-week study schedules, plus a breakdown of how hard the SIE actually is — the published first-time pass rate is around 74%.

No. Anyone 18 or older can sit the SIE without firm sponsorship, which is why students and career-changers often take it before they start applying for roles.
