🍎 Is Food Allowed During the Exam?

No, food is not allowed in the testing room during FINRA exams, including the Series 6, 7, 63, 65, 66, and 24 exams. These exams are administered under strict testing protocols at Prometric testing centers, and the rules are designed to ensure fairness, security, and minimal distraction.

🚫 What’s Not Allowed Inside the Testing Room

• Food or snacks of any kind
• Drinks, including water bottles
• Bags, purses, backpacks
• Study materials, notes, calculators (a digital calculator is provided on-screen)
• Smartwatches, fitness bands, or electronics

All personal belongings must be stored in a locker provided by the testing center.

✅ What You Can Do

• Take scheduled breaks if your exam permits (e.g., longer exams like Series 7)
• Eat beforehand to maintain energy throughout the test
• Keep water or snacks in your locker for use during a break (outside the exam room)
• Let the test center know in advance if you have a medical condition requiring food access (documentation may be required)
