What Is A Series 66 License?
The Series 66 license, also known as the Uniform Combined State Law Examination, covers topics relevant to providing investment advice and effecting securities transactions for clients. It qualifies an individual to have a securities industry career as an "Agent" of a broker/dealer and an "Investment Advisor Representative".
The exam covers topics that have been determined to be necessary to provide investment advice and effect securities transactions for clients. The Series 66 license permits you to provide investment recommendations and strategies, make investment recommendations re wealth management and financial planning, discuss alternative investments, and cover other topics that have been determined to be necessary to provide investment advice and effect securities transactions for clients.
Getting the FINRA Series 66 license fulfills the requirements of both the Series 63 and Series 65 licenses. Like the those licenses, the FINRA Series 66 exam is designed by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and is administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
What Are The Requirements To Get A FINRA Series 66 License?
In order to take the Series 66 exam, you must be a Series 7 license holder, or be taking the
Series 7 license exam at the same time as the Series 66 license exam. As of Oct 1, 2018 this also means you must pass the new
Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Examination if you don't already hold your Series 7 license.
Can I Take The Series 66 Exam Without A Sponsor?While you can take the Series 66 exam without sponsorship from a FINRA member firm, the co-requisite
Series 7 license requires member sponsorship.
How Long Does A Series 66 License Last?After you pass the Series 66 test you have two years to become licensed (registered) with a state or the exam expires. Once you are registered, the exam remains effective as long as you stay registered.
What Is On The Series 66 Exam?The Series 66 exam is 100 multiple-choice questions covering the four main topic areas reflecting the skills and knowledge required for dually registered agents of broker dealers and investment adviser representatives. Candidates have 2.5 hours to complete the exam and must score at least a 73% to pass.
Covered Topics:
- Economic Factors and Business Information
- Investment Vehicle Characteristics
- Client Investment Recommendations and Strategies
- Laws, Regulations, and Guidelines, including Prohibition on Unethical Business Practices
As of Dec. 2018, the North American Securities Administrators Association updated its questions due to recent changes in the tax code. Questions using the 2018 tax code were rolled out in Jan. 2019.
Should I Get A Series 65 Or A Series 66 License?The Series 65 and 66 are both licenses that allow the individual to give fee-based advice. The Series 66 exam is only for those individuals who are registered for, or completed the
Series 7 exam. It combines the Series 63 with the Series 65 exam. The Series 65 exam is designed for those who do not have a Series 7 license.
The content of both exams are similar though the Series 65 will be more heavily concentrated on Investment products and economics. Those topics, theoretically, that the individual has not had without a Series 7 license. The Series 66 exam has a little more State law and some investment products.

More On What Is A Series 66 License And How To Pass The FINRA Series 66 Exam
A Series 66 license qualifies an individual to be both an "agent" of a broker/dealer and an "investment advisor" representative in each state. One of the main Series 66 license requirements is a satisfactory performance on the Series 66 Exam. This means you will have to schedule, study for and pass the Series 66 Exam before you will be granted a Series 66 license. The best ways to prepare for the exam so that you pass it the first time you sit for it, along with the basic Series 66 License Exam requirements are listed below.
Series 66 Exam RequirementsWhile some licensing exams require you have a certain number of pre-licensing coursework hours before sitting for the test, there is no required pre-licensing to sit for the Series 66 exam. That being said, your chances of passing the exam are quite low if you have not studied the material for a significant portion of time. It is highly recommended that you use or Series 66 Exam Prep materials or take one of our Series 66 courses.

How Do You Get That Series 66 License?If you want to be both a stockbroker and investment adviser in your state, a Uniform Combined State Law license, or Series 66 license, is the way to go. FINRA is the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and they decide who is authorized to deal in securities and various other financial products and who is not. Unless you have the required license from FINRA, you will not be able to practice for your firm.
Suggestions For Your FINRA Series 66 Exam Prep
Before you can think about scheduling your Series 66 exam, you must first choose the best method of Series 66 exam prep. Passing any licensing exam is not easy, and to be successful, especially if you wish to be successful the first time out, you will need to study intensely for a sufficient number of hours. We recommend starting at least three or four weeks before you are scheduled to sit for the exam and being prepared to study for at least 90 hours.
But when and how much you study are only part of the picture. What and how you study are equally important. At AB Training Center, we have created study courses on the principle that people have different learning styles, and in that spirit, we have devised three study methods to suit those various styles. Each program offers comprehensive study materials with everything you need to pass the Series 66 Exam. They simply differ in how they conform to your way of learning.
