"I passed the Series 63! Thanks to David and all of Knopman for their help. Once again, I was very glad to have chosen Knopman materials as the questions were in line with exactly what I had been seen in the qbank and other review materials. Thank you!"
"92% on the Series 63...Thanks so much for everything!! I'm not surprised, Knopman is the best training place out there."
"I had a very positive experience working with Knopman and was very pleased with their training and services provided (for the Series 63 Exam)…I want to share this positive experience with my colleagues so that the Knopman team can also provide them with the same level of dedication and service that I’ve received from them."
You are not required to have a sponsor to take the Series 63 Exam.
The exam is offered every day, including Saturdays and Sundays at some testing centers.
You can schedule the exam through your compliance/registration department. Once they have opened a window for you, if they instruct you to schedule the exam on your own, you can schedule on the phone or online with either of the testing companies below:
- Pearson Vue: (866) 396-6273 or www.vue.com/finra
- Prometric Testing: (800) 578-6273 or www.prometric.com/FINRA
You should plan on completing at least 520 practice questions online, plus the benchmark exam, prior to taking the exam. If your scores are not within passing range at that point, you may need to complete more questions.
You should plan on taking the Series 63 2-3 days after the class ends.
Most students are able to finish the exam within the alloted time, without being rushed.
The Series 63 License Exam Manual is quite short. As a result, we recommend you read the entire book before class so you can take the exam shortly after the class ends.
Assuming you are working full time while preparing for the examination, you should allow yourself one week to read through the material and another one week to complete practice exams. You should attend the live class, watch the online KIT or receive private instruction the week prior to your exam. The total study time is typically one to two weeks.
You should complete the benchmark exam, closed book, one or two days prior to your scheduled exam date.
The Practice Exams questions are slightly easier than the actual exam, so you should be scoring in the low 80s prior to taking the exam. You should score at least 75% on the benchmark exam. Also, the questions on the exam may seem more vague and wordy than the practice questions. As long as you focus on the concepts and don't second guess yourself, you will be able to answer the questions correctly on the exam.
