Taking SIE exam
Hello,
For my job, I need to pass SIE exam. I started studying for it right now.. Got a 55% on my first diagnostic with no review or studying. I was planning on busting it out in the next week. However, had a death in the family due to which I will be flying out to the funeral in my country of origin (Europe) for 15 days from June 14th to June 29th. My start date is the 10th. I was wondering if it would be fine if I took the SIE after I came back or if I should try to take it before I go or if I should take it after. I feel like if I study hard, I can definitely reach the 80% mark. But I am worried about failing the exam and not getting to the retake in time if I leave it for early July.
I took the SIE a couple years back. FINRA provides a framework on the different testing topics and the amount of questions in terms of percentages. If you managed a 55% without studying, you can study and sit before you leave. That way you can attend to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss.
So I literally took the practice test a day ago and was told it takes a week or two to schedule so I think the earliest I can take with my situation is early July. Should I just grind and hope to pass it the first time
Yes - you have a good amount of time. This coming week you start prepping and getting more familiar with the areas that you don’t know too well. Assuming they schedule you early July, you would have from the 30th or so until your exam date to ingrain the material. I mean, you can pass with a 70 and employers will never know. It will just be listed as “pass.”
