Sample Questions

Question 1 Easy
Participation in FINRA mediation requires:
Solution
B is correct. FINRA Rule 14104(a) makes mediation voluntary and requires the written agreement of all parties. A request or directive from only one participant cannot compel the others to mediate.
Question 2 Medium
Participation in FINRA mediation requires:
Solution
D is correct. FINRA Rule 14104(a) provides that mediation is voluntary and requires the written agreement of all parties. A customer or member firm cannot compel the other party to participate.
Question 3 Hard
An equity trade is executed regular-way for a customer on a Monday with no intervening holidays. Which statement about processing, confirming, and settling the trade is LEAST accurate?
Solution
B is correct. SEC Rule 10b-10 requires the confirmation to disclose whether the firm acted as principal or agent, so a statement that capacity may be omitted is inaccurate. By contrast, Rule 15c6-1 sets a T+1 cycle (settlement the next business day after a Monday trade), the confirmation must be given at or before completion of the transaction, and Regulation T permits customer payment within two business days after settlement; those statements are accurate.

FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who has passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance, all on his first attempt. He paid four-figure prep fees along the way.

So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 41 exams with more than 48,000 original practice questions.

01
Cost shouldn't decide who gets in.

A CFA charter, a CPA license, an actuarial credential. Each opens a real career, but prep fees add to the cost of getting there. FreeFellow keeps its original question bank and written lessons free so you can study even if a paid course is out of reach.

02
Free should mean free.

The original question bank, the worked solutions, the topic lessons, mixed practice, and your readiness score stay free, forever. Full access needs a free account, and practice usage limits apply. Fellow adds AI grading on supported exams, spaced-repetition flashcards, full-length mock exams, analytics, and a study plan that adapts to your progress.
