Accessibility
We want everyone preparing for the SIE exam to be able to use sieexampracticetest.com, whatever device, settings or assistive technology they use. This page sets out what we aim for, what is built in, what we know does not work well yet and how to tell us about a problem. It also points to FINRA's support for the real exam.
1. Our aim
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. The site has not been independently audited, so we do not claim full conformance.
2. What is built in
- A Skip to content link as the first item on every page, for keyboard and screen reader users.
- A visible focus outline on links, buttons and answer choices when you move through the page with a keyboard.
- Answer choices, test controls and the cookie banner are standard buttons that work with a keyboard.
- Screen readers announce when a test is loading and when it is being scored.
- Text and buttons use color contrast chosen to meet level AA. In answer reviews, right and wrong answers are labeled in words as well as color.
- Pages reflow on narrow screens and are built to work with browser zoom and larger text settings.
- Animations are reduced if your device asks for reduced motion.
- Every page states its language (US English) so screen readers use the right voice.
3. Known limits
- Timed tests. The full practice exam gives you 105 minutes for 75 questions, the same time limit as the real SIE, and topic quizzes and quick sets are timed too. There is no option yet to add extra time to these tests. On a paid plan, the quiz maker has an untimed option.
- Bot checks. Anonymous test starts and the sign-up and password reset forms use a Cloudflare Turnstile check. It is usually invisible, but it can ask you to check a box. Cloudflare runs it, and if it does not load, the form cannot be sent. If that happens, email us.
- Payment pages. Checkout happens on PayPal's own pages. Their accessibility is outside our control.
- Printable practice exam. The PDF has not been tested with screen readers.
- No full audit yet. We have not tested every page with every screen reader and browser combination.
4. Compatibility
The site is built for current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on phones, tablets and computers. It needs JavaScript for tests and accounts. Study pages can be read without it.
5. Support for the real SIE exam
Accommodations for the real exam are arranged through FINRA.
- Candidates with disabilities can ask FINRA for testing accommodations. FINRA says it typically reviews and responds to requests within 10 business days, so ask before you schedule. See FINRA's information for candidates with disabilities.
- Candidates whose first language is not English can apply for extra time. Approved SIE candidates get 30 extra minutes, and FINRA says to allow about five business days for confirmation. See FINRA's limited English proficiency page.
6. Tell us about a barrier
If you find something on this site hard or impossible to use, email [email protected] with:
- the page address
- what you were trying to do and what happened
- the device, browser and any assistive technology you use
If you need a question, explanation or study page in another format, ask and we will try to provide it.
7. How we prepared this statement
This statement was written on November 8, 2026, from a review of how the site is built. We will update it after the first full accessibility test and whenever we make a significant change to the site.
