Rescheduling and cancelling
| When you change it | SIE | Series 6 | Series 7 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10+ business days ahead | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| 3 to 10 business days ahead | $50 | $50 | $197.50 |
| Within 2 business days, or a no-show | $100 | $100 | $395 |
Your exam must be taken inside the 120-day window FINRA opens when you enroll, so a change has to fit in that window too.
SIE vouchers
A voucher pays the SIE fee for you. FINRA sells them to schools, training and test preparation companies, and firms, who give them to students or new hires. You redeem it when you enroll, in place of paying.
