SIE radio FAQ

Is SIE Radio free?

Yes. SIE Exam Prep Radio is free to listen to, with no sign-up. Press the power button and you join the broadcast straight away.

How does SIE Radio work?

It is a 62-minute recorded study show that broadcasts continuously. Everyone tuned in hears the same moment, like real radio. Turn it off whenever you like; turning it back on joins the current broadcast.

How is this different from a study podcast?

It works like a study podcast that is always on. Instead of choosing an episode, you join the show in progress, and everyone on a station hears the same moment. There is no seek bar, speed control or download.

Who are the hosts?

Maya & Ben are AI-generated hosts. The show is independent study material from OpenExamPrep; check exam rules with the official exam sponsor and practice with our free questions.

Can I keep listening while I practice?

Yes. Open practice questions, study guides or flashcards on any page. The radio keeps playing, and the header has a power button to turn it off or back on.

What is the SIE exam pass rate?

FINRA statistics through August 31, 2019, presented by FINRA staff at the September 2019 SILA conference, reported approximately 74% for first-time test-takers and 82% overall. FINRA's SIE exam page and FAQ do not list a newer pass rate. FINRA's current exam page lists a passing score of 70 but does not publish a fixed raw number of correct answers.

How can I pass the SIE exam on my first try?

To pass the SIE on your first try: 1) Study for 4-8 weeks, dedicating 2-3 hours daily (40-60 total hours). 2) Focus heavily on 'Products and Risks' (44% of exam). 3) Complete at least 500 practice questions. 4) Aim to score 80%+ consistently on practice exams before scheduling. 5) Use our AI tutor to understand concepts you miss.
