FAQ

Series 6 FAQ

Everything you need to know before getting started.

The Series 6 exam has 100 multiple-choice questions. You have 2 hours and 15 minutes (135 minutes) to complete the exam. Of the 100 questions, 10 are unscored pilot questions.

You need a score of 70% to pass the Series 6 exam.

The Series 6 exam costs $40 USD. You must be sponsored by a FINRA member firm to register for the exam.

The Series 6 covers four main functions: Seeks Business for the Broker-Dealer Through Customers and Potential Customers (12%), Opens Accounts After Obtaining and Evaluating Customers' Financial Profile and Investment Objectives (24%), Provides Customers with Information About Investments (12%), and Obtains and Verifies Customers' Purchase and Sales Instructions (52%).

You must pass the SIE exam and be sponsored by a FINRA member firm before taking the Series 6. The SIE can be taken before or after firm sponsorship.

A Series 6 license allows you to sell mutual funds, variable annuities, unit investment trusts (UITs), and municipal fund securities (such as 529 plans). It does not permit you to sell individual stocks or bonds.

The Series 6 is considered a moderately challenging exam. It is narrower in scope than the Series 7 but requires a thorough understanding of investment company products and variable contracts.
