Series 7 Practice Test 2026 | 60Q Timed, 25Q Free

Take the free 25-question diagnosticSample cards
A customer in the 32% bracket compares a 4% muni with a 5.5% corporate bond. Which pays more after tax?
Divide the muni yield by one minus the customer's federal bracket to get the taxable-equivalent yield. 4% / 0.68 = 5.88%, which beats the 5.5% corporate, so the muni wins. The higher the bracket, the more a muni is worth; an in-state muni can also avoid state tax. The comparison is meaningless inside an IRA.
A customer buys 1 XYZ Jan 50 put at 3. What is the maximum loss, and at what stock price does it occur?
A long put's maximum loss is the premium paid, times 100 shares per contract. It happens if the stock closes at or above the strike at expiration, because the put expires worthless. The risk is known and paid up front, which is why buying a put is a lower-risk bearish strategy than shorting the stock.
When a customer's risk tolerance and risk capacity disagree, which one limits the recommendation?
Risk tolerance is the customer's willingness to accept losses; risk capacity is the financial ability to absorb them, based on income, net worth, obligations, and time horizon. The recommendation should fit the lower of the two: an eager investor with little capacity, or a wealthy but anxious one, both get a more conservative portfolio.

Series 7 study guide
What is inside
Series 7 flashcards for Top-Off: seeking business and opening accounts, investment products (equity, debt, options, funds), recommendations and suitability, order handling, confirmations, settlement, and regulatory records. Options cards include spreads, straddles, and margin requirements. Municipal securities and MSRB rules have dedicated prompts. This is not a [Series 63 flashcards](/decks/series-63-anki-deck) pack (NASAA state law).
The three sample cards on this page are real notes from the shipped .apkg: tax-equivalent yield on a 4% muni versus a 5.5% corporate in the 32% bracket, maximum loss on a long XYZ 50 put bought at 3, and which of risk tolerance versus capacity limits a recommendation.
Official FINRA Series 7 Top-Off is **125 scored + 5 pretest / 3 hours 45 minutes / passing score 72 (equated)**. Our mock is a **60-question / 90-minute** job-function diagnostic (free 25-question version) — not a full-length 125Q bank like Mastery/TakeZero/FreeFellow.
Study plan with the free mock
Run the [60-question Series 7 practice test (free 25-question version)](/mock-exams/series-7-readiness-check) after one pass through products and suitability cards. Use topic scores to decide whether options or municipal chapters need a second week. Aim for 20 cards/day while working full time — the deck is sized for that cadence, not 100-card marathon sessions.
Pitfalls this deck targets
Representatives mix suitability standards for elderly clients, options exercise vs assignment, and when a principal must approve a trade. Cards isolate those rule boundaries. After Top-Off, state registration often still needs [Series 63 flashcards](/decks/series-63-anki-deck).
