Series 63 Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register to take the Series 63?

To take the Series 63, a FINRA member firm must file a Form U4 application on your behalf through FINRA’s Central Registration Depository (CRD), or you can file a Form U10 individually. You will have to get fingerprinted and answer a lengthy set of questions about your background. Individuals filing Form U10 will also need to meet the requirements of the regulatory authority they are registering with.

What does passing the Series 63 qualify me to do?

Passing the NASAA Series 63 exam qualifies you to sell securities within a state. You may need to pass the Series 6, 7, 62, 79 or 82 as well to be fully registered.

What score do I need to pass the exam?

A score of 72% is required for passing.

Note: Scores are rounded down to the lowest whole number, so a 71.9% would be a final score of 71%—not a passing score for the Series 63 exam.

How many questions are on the exam?

There are 60 scored and 5 unscored questions. The 5 unscored questions are randomly distributed, so test takers do not know which questions are not scored

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

I took the 6 and 63. I passed the 6 with a 90% and the 63 with an 87%. I used the test simulator for both and it was a tremendous help. I was actually studying using a different book and I wasn't getting enough info. The Test Simulator was key. It threw the questions at me in a different way which was similar to the actual test. I don't think I would have passed without it. THANKS!

I just took the Series 63 last week, for the first time. I passed with a grade of 87%. The only study guide I used was your audio book which I listened to on the way to work everyday. I have never worked in the securities industry before, and I had no existing knowledge of anything related to securities law. Everything I know about the subject I learned from your audio book. I will always look to your exam preps for my future test prep needs.

I used the one iPhone app for the 63 and found it a great help. I used it whilst watching TV, waiting for the car to be serviced, any spare few minutes I would practice a question or two.

I failed the 63 three times over the course of four years. I passed the first time after taking your course.

Solomon was my ticket to a passing grade the first time on both exams [Series 79 and Series 63]!

Laura Bumgarner, Houston, Texas

Passed the 63 with an 85%. The exam simulator was unbelievably helpful, but still make sure you understand the fundamental concepts and the questions are not always phrased the same way or in the same structure. It was significantly easier as there was some overlap with 79 materials, which I had also previously passed using Solomon materials.
