The Series 6 goes deep into mutual funds and variable products which were introduced in the SIE. It includes more detailed information about communications and rules relating to these products. The SIE covers a wider range of topics, but the S6 questions are more detailed and technical.
At a minimum you should read chapters 2, 3, 6, 7 and 9 and review the video lectures for all chapters. It’s best to read through the entire book and complete all the exercises if possible, but you should ensure that no more than 25% of your overall study time is spent reading the book.
Most people will see no more than 3-5 questions that involve math on the Series 6.
You should plan on completing about 800 - 1,000 practice questions online prior to taking the exam in addition to the benchmark and diagnostic exams. If your scores are not within passing range at that point, you may need to complete more questions. For best results, be sure to use unused questions when building your exams so that you continue to get exposure to new applications of the concepts.
Assuming you are working full time, you should allow 3-5 weeks or 50-75 hours to prepare for your exam. Plan to study about 1-2 hours per day plus 3-4 hours each weekend day. If you’re able to spend 5 hours per day, you can be ready in as little as 2-3 weeks. Your exam scores are the best guide, and you should be averaging over 70% before your test.
Our questions are designed to be a bit more challenging than most of the questions you’ll see on the exam. This helps ensure a safety margin so that you’re ready to pass when you’re averaging 70%.
BONUS: We're adding our new Study Essentials course to your purchase ($75 added value). Find it in your Training Center after check-out.
