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've come to the right place.

Robert Walker, a professional trainer who specializes in the FINRA Series 63, 65/66, 6, and 7 exams, has written this book for those who are about to brave the 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. In addition to practice questions liberally sprinkled throughout its lessons, this book includes two complete 100-question practice finals, a detailed table of contents, a review checklist, and a handy glossary.

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

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.
