Series 65: The Uniform Securities Act

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

The Uniform Securities Act

To help the states write their own securities laws, the Uniform Securities Act, or USA, was created. The USA was designed to be model legislation that could be used by all states in drafting their own state legislation regarding the regulatory requirements of investment advisers, broker-dealers, and issuers of securities. No matter what state you’re taking this exam in, the state securities laws you’re studying were built using the Uniform Securities Act as a template. The version of the act that you will be tested on is the Uniform Securities Act of 1956. Since the Uniform Securities Act ties together much of the legislative intent of all the laws created before it and may represent 15% to 20% or more of the entire exam, you need to memorize the details of this law as outlined in the next few chapters.

Hi Jeremy, I passed! Thanks for all your hard work and support to help me get through the Series 65! I went from scoring a 65 [using a competitor's material] to a 79 percent [with your Exam Prep]. I felt your material covered the exam perfectly. I went out of my way of actually learning instead memorizing. I used the book and the audio book as well as your online test prep. I am glad that is over with! Thanks again, best wishes to you as well.

I'm an auditory learner. Ordering the audio files was most helpful and I passed today with no worries.

Michael Freemire, Cambridge Advisors, Englewood, CO

I have been extremely happy with your book series. I was able to pass the Series 66 and Series 65 with flying colors on the first try! Thanks again.

Christian Brown, Financial Decisions Group

I learned the material quickly and passed the Series 65 with flying colors. It was fun to listen while driving, and it was easy to absorb the information—just like being taught by an entertaining young professor!

Chris McConnell, Adondo Corporation, Wayne, PA

I passed the Series 65 on the first try and I would absolutely give credit to this tool. We all learn in vastly different ways, so having the options available for a study guide, audiobook, video training, flash cards, practice tests - and ALL of the other resources available was critical to my success. I've been out of school for over a decade and remembering HOW to study was hard. I'm so glad I had all of these options.

Ashley Dunning, Inspire Investing. Kansas City, MO

My oldest son purchased your Solomon audio exam guide to pass his Series 7, and I did the same for the Series 65 exam at his recommendation. Although I am 62 and have been out of college for forty(40) years, I passed my Series 65 exam on my first try. This would NOT have been possible without your excellent study materials. Thank you! for the service you provide to all aspiring test takers where so much is on the line!

Most Sincerely,
