Pass the 66: A Training Guide for the NASAA Series 66 Exam

by Robert Walker

Do the terms hypothecation, rule of 72, and pass-through certificate give you a headache? Do you need to take the Series 66 exam? If you can answer yes to both of these questions, then you have come to the right place.
Robert Walker, a professional trainer who specializes in securities licensing exams including the Series 63, 65, 66, 6, and 7 exams, has written this book for those who are about to brave the NASAA Series 66 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 66 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, and sprinkles practice questions liberally throughout his lessons. Walker divides the content into the same four sections as the NASAA exam, and provides a review test following each section, weighted to reflect that sections importance on the exam, giving you a total of 100 review questions. Pass the 66 also includes a detailed table of contents, index, and a handy glossary.
Once you have finished this book, you should be able to tackle practice exams with confidence!

[Geldar · Rating 2 out of 5]

2 stars is likely the highest rating I could ever give a book on this topic, so it's actually high praise for Robert Walker...

This is certainly the most engaging way to learn the material, but I find that Walker's books are typically not quite as thorough as more conventional training manuals. This isn't a terrible thing. My method of studying was to read this book attentively, and then to just skim through the Kaplan book for any topics I might have missed. That, coupled with many practice questions, was enough for me.

Easy to read and informative, this book has made studying for the Series 66 slightly less painful. I appreciate the use of humor, but sometimes it gets unnecessary. I would have rated higher except this book is nearly identical to his other book Pass the 7. I regret buying both.
