Practice questions written by Radif Partners from the official outline topics. They are not questions from the real exam. Progress is kept in this browser only (local storage) and never sent.
A practice test is the tool for learning, a mock exam the tool for measuring, and the two should not be confused. This page serves sets of ten Series 7 questions from one job function of the official outline at a time, corrects each answer the moment you give it and explains why the right option is right, with the outline point it trains. It opens on the third function, which FINRA weights at 91 of the exam's 125 scored questions; the menu switches to seeking business (9), opening accounts (11) or orders and transactions (14). Our pool holds 252 questions for the Series 7, all written by Radif Partners from the outline topics, never copied from a prep book and never passed off as items from the live exam. Each wrong answer is saved in your browser, so that the review page can bring it back later. The estimate under this paragraph turns your practice rate into a chance of clearing the line on a full exam, as a statistical model rather than a promise.

How to use the practice sets
Work in short rounds of ten. After each round, read every explanation, then write down in one line the rule or the fact you were missing. That list, not the score, is the product of practice. When a function gives you three rounds in a row above the line, move to the next one; come back to it a week later to check that it stayed.
| Function | Exam questions | Our pool | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | 9 | 28 | communications, new issues, research |
| F2 | 11 | 37 | account types, customer profile, approvals |
| F3 | 91 | 154 | products, suitability, taxes, records |
| F4 | 14 | 33 | quotes, orders, settlement, margin |
Practice versus the real exam
Practice sets are easier than the exam in one respect: they stay inside one function, so the context helps you. The real exam mixes everything, and switching from a margin question to a communications rule costs attention. That is why practice sets come first and full mocks second. Practice sets also correct as you go; a mock, like the exam, keeps the corrections until the end.
Reading the readiness estimate
The calculator above takes the share of practice questions you answer correctly and computes the chance of reaching the passing line on 125 questions if every question were answered at that rate. It shows how quickly the odds improve with a few points of accuracy. Its limit is the assumption itself: real questions are worded differently and a weak function drags the score below your average.
The topics candidates miss most
- Options: positions, breakevens, spreads and the account rules that go with them (options math).
- Municipal securities: general obligation versus revenue bonds, official statements, tax treatment (municipal bond math).
- Suitability and know-your-customer duties: what to obtain, when to refuse an order.
- Margin: deposits, equity and maintenance calls (margin math).
Each has its own page with a calculator and a practice set. To see every question of a function with its answer instead of being quizzed, use the question bank.
Keeping track
Your answers are stored in this browser only. The review page draws from the questions you missed and shows, function by function, how many you have practiced and how many you got right the last time. Nothing is sent: switching devices starts a fresh record. When the record looks even across the four functions, book the timed mock, and use the official outline as the checklist of topics still to cover.
A weekly rhythm that works
A simple schedule keeps practice honest. On weekdays, one or two sets of ten in the function you are studying, read in full. At the weekend, one mixed set per function to check that older material holds, then a round of review on the questions you missed during the week. Every second or third week, replace the weekend sets with a full timed mock. The aim is a steady rise in the weakest function, not a high score in the strongest: the exam does not let a good result in options make up for a poor one in suitability if both sit in the same heavy function.
