On December 20, 2017, FINRA held its Board of Governors Meeting to discuss rule proposals and the 2018 budget. One rule that was addressed was the fee for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam. FINRA chose a fee of $60 for the exam. This rule change will be filed with the SEC and await approval sometime in the new year.

The $60 fee is considerably less than the $100 fee for the Series 6 and the $305 fee for the Series 7 exam. FINRA’s meeting notes report that the price for other exams will be reevaluated as well, to adhere to the changing securities landscape.

Jeremy Solomon, President of Solomon Exam Prep, responded to the proposed fee:

“This is another indication of how serious FINRA and the industry is about making the SIE exam as user-friendly and available as possible. Kudos to FINRA.”

Many people are aware that FINRA is giving the securities industry a face-lift. Hoping to attract more securities professionals, FINRA is going to release a new exam in 2018. The Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam will give the industry a chance to attract some new prospects.

In the past, FINRA’s exams were only available to those employed by a broker-dealer and working in the industry. The SIE exam is going to change that. This exam will be available to anyone who wants to take it.

While the exam won’t be available until 2018, Solomon Exam Prep remains in front of the competition and released SIE study materials earlier this week.
