The Series 6 Exam (Series 6 Top-Off Exam) is the FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) exam required by broker-dealers, banks, and insurance companies for their limited representatives.
Co-requisites: Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam and The Series 63 state licensing exam.
Series 6 candidates are expected to know information about:
- seeking business for the broker-dealer from customers and potential customers (12 questions on the exam)
- opening accounts after obtaining and evaluating customers’ investment objectives and financial profile (8 questions on the exam)
- providing customers with information about investments, making suitable recommendations, transferring assets and maintaining appropriate records (25 questions on the exam)
- obtaining and verifying customers’ purchase and sales instructions; processing, completing and confirming transactions (5 questions on the exam)
The Series 6 license exam has a total of 55 questions. However, only 50 of the questions count toward the Series 6 grade. So, this means is that the other 5 questions are experimental and could appear in any position within the Series 6 exam. To pass the exam, each candidate must correctly answer at least 35 (70%) of the 50 questions. In addition, each person has a total of 1 hours and 30 minutes to complete the real exam.
