Congratulations! You are on your way to becoming a registered representative licensed to conduct securities business in all states that require the Series 63. The Series 63 exam will be presented in a 60-question multiple-choice format. Each candidate will have one hour and 15 minutes to complete the exam. A score of 72% or higher is required to pass.

The Series 63 is as much a knowledge test as it is a reading test. The writers and instructors at The Securities Institute have developed the Series 63 textbook, exam prep software, and videos to ensure that you have the knowledge required to pass the test and to make sure that you are confident in the application of the knowledge during the exam.

IMPORTANT EXAM NOTE

The series 63 exam is based on the provisions of the Uniform Securities Act not on any of the amendments enacted by any particular state or state securities administrator. The Uniform Securities Act may be referred to as the USA or as the Act. Test takers should treat these terms as interchangeable.

The Series 63 exam is presented in multiple-choice format on a touch-screen computer known as the PROCTOR system. No computer skills are required, and candidates will find that the test screen works in the same way as an ordinary ATM. Each test is made up of 60 questions that are randomly chosen from a test bank containing several thousand questions. The test has a time limit of one hour and 15 minutes and is designed to provide enough time for all candidates to complete the exam. Each Series 63 exam will have five additional questions that do not count towards the final score. The Series 63 comprises questions that focus on the following areas:

For most candidates, the combination of reading the textbook, watching the videos, and using the exam prep software is enough to successfully complete the exam. It is recommended that the candidate spend at least 30 hours preparing for the exam by reading the textbook, underlining key points, watching the video class, and completing as many practice questions as possible. We recommend that candidates schedule their exam no more than one week after completing their Series 63 exam prep.

Test-Taking Tips

• Read the full question before answering.
• Identify what the question is asking.
• Identify key words and phrases.
• Watch out for hedge clauses, for example, except and not.
•
