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 66
The Series 66 does not have any prerequisites, and you do not need to be employed by or sponsored by a FINRA member firm in order to register for and take the exam. However, the SIE Exam and Series 7 are both corequisites, and all three must be completed to obtain the registration.
What’s covered on the Series 66?
The Series 66 exam, known formally as the Uniform Investment Adviser Law Exam, covers the laws, regulations, ethics, strategies, and various topics important to the role of a financial adviser and offering financial advice, as well as the purchase and sale of securities and state laws pertaining to securities. This exam fulfills the requirements of both the Series 63 and Series 65, enabling the license holder to give financial advice and facilitate the purchase and sale of securities.
Despite commonly being called the “FINRA Series 66” it is more accurately a North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) exam administered by FINRA.
