What is FinLicensePrep?
FinLicensePrep is an independent online publisher of free study material for US financial licensing exams. It was founded in 2026 and is run by a small editorial team.
We are not a regulator, a school or a brokerage firm. No exam provider owns, sponsors or approves this site. We write everything ourselves, and our practice questions are original, not real exam questions.
What do we publish?
We publish practice questions, full-length practice tests and plain-language study guides. Our first exam is the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam, and you can see everything we have for it on our SIE exam hub.
- Practice questions: each one has a full explanation for every answer choice, not only the correct one.
- Study guides: short pages that explain one idea at a time and define each term.
- Exam facts: details such as format and timing, each linked to the regulator’s own page and dated.
Why do we publish it?
We want a first-time candidate to be able to study well without paying first. Many people sit their first licensing exam while working full time and studying on a phone, so our pages are short, plain and built for small screens.
How are our questions made and checked?
Every question goes through the same written process before it goes live: it is drafted from the official exam outline, checked automatically, checked for duplicates, answered blind in a separate pass, fact-checked against primary sources and read through on a phone.
AI tools help our editorial team draft and check the material. People on the team decide what goes live. The full process, including how we date facts and fix errors, is set out in our editorial policy.
No credentialed expert has reviewed our content yet. We will not show a reviewer’s name or credential until a qualified person has really reviewed the material.
What we will never do
- Show made-up reviews, testimonials, user counts or pass rates.
- Promise that you will pass.
- Give investment, financial, tax or legal advice.
- Use real companies, tickers or prices in our questions. Every company, figure and customer is invented.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to use FinLicensePrep?
No. You can use the practice questions and study guides without signing up. Your quiz progress is kept only in your own browser.
Will FinLicensePrep cover other licensing exams?
We plan to add more exams over time. A new exam opens only when its questions have passed the same checks as our SIE questions.
