About the Series 6 Exam
Congratulations! You are on your way to becoming a registered representative licensed to conduct business in both investment company (mutual fund) and variable-contract products.
The Series 6 exam will be presented in a 50 questions multiple-choice format. Each candidate will have 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete the exam. A score of 70% or higher is required to pass. The Series 6 is as much a knowledge test as it is a reading test in that you have to read each question, identify its key elements, and then apply your knowledge to answer it.
IMPORTANT EXAM NOTE
As of October 1, 2018, candidates who wish to take the Series 6 exam must also successfully complete the SIE exam to become fully registered
About the Exam
The Series 6 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 machine. Each test is made up of 50 questions that are randomly chosen from a test bank of thousands of questions. Each Series 6 exam includes several practice questions that do not count toward the final score. The test has a time limit 1 hour and 30 minutes and is designed to provide enough time for all candidates to complete the exam. Each Series 6 exam includes questions that focus on the following critical job functions:
Function | Number of Items |
Seeks Business for the Broker Dealer from Customers and Potential Customers | 12 questions |
Opens Accounts After Obtaining and Evaluating Customers Financial Profile and Investment Objectives | 8 questions |
Provides Customers with Information About Investments, Makes Suitable Recommendations, Transfers Assets, and Maintains Appropriate Records | 25 questions |
Obtains and Verifies Customers Purchase and Sales Instructions; Processes, Completes and Confirms Transactions | 5 questions |
TOTAL | 50 Questions |
How Do I Prepare for the Exam?
For most candidates, the combination of textbooks, software, and video class instruction proves to be enough to successfully complete the exam. It is recommended that candidates spend at least 40 to 60 hours preparing for the exam by reading the textbook, underlining key points, and by completing as many practice questions as possible. We recommend that students schedule their exam no more than one week after completing their Series 6 exam prep.
