Series 63 is a NASAA state law exam administered by FINRA for broker-dealer agent qualification.
The exam has 60 scored multiple-choice questions plus 5 unscored questions, for 65 total items.
Candidates have 75 minutes and must answer at least 43 of the 60 scored questions correctly.
FINRA lists no corequisite for Series 63 and currently lists the exam cost at $147.
NASAA assigns 15 scored questions to ethical practices and obligations and 12 scored questions to communication with customers and prospects. Candidates need clean rules for compensation, custody, discretion, trading authorization, conflicts of interest, prohibited guarantees, required disclosures, advertising, correspondence, social media, email, and website communications.
Series 63 repeatedly asks candidates to classify broker-dealers, agents, investment advisers, investment adviser representatives, securities, issuers, exemptions, and activities that trigger registration. A strong plan uses decision checklists so candidates can separate state registration, exclusions, post-registration duties, and uniform form updates.
The remedies and administrative provisions section covers the state securities Administrator's authority, administrative actions, penalties, and liabilities. HiraEdu treats this as applied scenario work: what the Administrator can require, investigate, deny, suspend, revoke, order, or refer when rules are violated.
