Pass the 63: A Training Guide for the NASAA Series 63 Exam

by Robert Walker

Do the terms contumacy, federal covered security, and impoundment of proceeds give you a headache? Do you need to take the Series 63 exam? If you can answer yes to both of these questions, then you've come to the right place.

Robert Walker, a professional trainer who specializes in the FINRA Series 6, 63, 65, 66, and 7 exams, has written this book for those who are about to brave the Series 63 examination. Armed with an M.F.A. in writing and a B.A. in English, Walker has managed to translate Securities-ese into plain English, with a liberal dash of humor.

This must-have book guides you through the intricacies of the Series 63 exam. Walker takes the exam apart piece by piece, and explains terms and concepts with a sense of humor and ease not found in other exam guides. He shows you, step-by-step, how not to be misled by the questions. In addition to a lengthy exercise in translation back into English, this book includes two complete 60-question practice finals, a handy glossary, and a helpful and concise review of background information relating to the Series 6 and Series 7 exams.

Once you've finished this book, you will be able to take the test with confidence!

This is a great resource for passing the Series 63. Highly recommend, but don't rely on it solely. You need the actual book from your vendor and to watch or attend the classes. Don't be fooled that this is your only reading requirement to pass.

A book designed to help you pass an exam can only be judged on results. Considering I got an 88% on the Series 63 exam (72% is passing), this book passed with flying colors. The only complaints I have with Pass the 63 is that there were a number of minor typos that any editor that was paying attention should have caught, and that an extra practice exam or two would have been helpful. All in all, the book gets the job done, and the author makes the somewhat dry subject matter a little more bearable and easy to understand. If you're taking the Series 63 exam, this is the only book you need.
