About the Exams

Passing the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam is the foundational requirement for many careers in the securities industry. The SIE covers basic or “essential” securities industry knowledge. In addition to passing the SIE, individuals must also pass specialized representative-level exams (such as the Series 6 and Series 7) to be permitted to work in specific job roles. These exams “top-off” your knowledge of the industry with more in-depth information. Most people take the SIE first and then take one or more representative-level exams.

Why should students take the SIE exam?

The SIE exam is FINRA’s way of introducing a new generation to the securities industry. Passing the SIE proves that an individual knows and understands the basics of the world of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs. It’s also the requirement for anyone who will want to become registered, so it’s quickly becoming the industry standard to take the exam before applying for jobs. Having the SIE on a resume can increase a student’s chance of landing a desirable internship or first job after graduation. 
 
Passing the SIE shows potential employers that students:

    • Are serious about a career in the financial services industry
    • Have completed a co-requisite for a relevant Series exams
    • Have mastered the basics of the securities industry

The only requirement to take the SIE is that the candidate is over 18 years old. Results are valid for four years so students can take the exam well before graduation.
