Preparing for professional exams is tough; you have to study after hours while keeping up your day job, your school work, etc. – often at the expense of your free time on nights and weekends. Most exam prep today doesn’t make this any easier on us. It doesn’t fit our mobile lifestyles and busy schedules, or give us any insight into what we know or don’t know as we’re studying.
What makes Achievable special is something called adaptive learning. As you study with Achievable, the system learns about you and personalizes the study program to your strengths and weaknesses. We then optimize for your memory retention by scheduling your reviews at the optimal time.
Achievable’s FINRA courses guide you through a personalized learning experience, reinforcing what you’ve learned and giving you certainty that you’re ready to pass your exam. Achievable courses are all you need to pass, and include an easy-to-understand online textbook, videos for key topics, chapter review questions, and plenty of full-length practice exams. Our course content is produced by Brandon Rith, who was formerly Fidelity’s top instructor nationwide.
How to get your Series 6
The first step to getting a Series 6 license is to pass the FINRA SIE Exam – or to have been grandfathered in by holding a FINRA representative-level registration on October 1, 2018.
The second step to getting your Series 6 license is to be sponsored by a FINRA-registered firm or a self-regulatory organization (SRO), typically your employer. After that, all you need to do is study and pass the test.
What’s covered on the Series 6?
The Series 6 exam – the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Qualification Examination (IR) – is designed to test the competency of an entry-level candidate to perform their job as an investment company and variable contracts products representative.
