The Series-7 exam leads to the General Securities Representative (Series 7) certification from FINRA. It is positioned at the Professional level. The exam validates the knowledge and skills expected of candidates preparing for FINRA General Securities Representative Qualification Examination (GS).

Related certifications include:

• Securities Industry Essentials (SIE)

The Series-7 exam includes 125 scored questions (plus unscored pretest items) questions and allows 225 minutes. Before test day, divide the available time by the number of questions in a timed practice set to establish a steady per-question pace. If a difficult item starts consuming too much time, mark it for review and move forward instead of losing momentum. A full timed practice session can help you decide when to move on, when to return, and how much buffer to reserve for a final check.

The passing score for Series-7 is 72%, and the official exam fee is $300 USD. Because a retake requires paying the exam fee again, use timed practice results as a readiness check before scheduling your next attempt. If your performance remains inconsistent, continue reviewing weak domains and repeat a timed session before booking the exam.

No formal prerequisite, but passing the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam is strongly recommended or required prior to Series 7 registration.

Eligibility rules can change, so confirm the current requirements on the official exam page before registering.
