What study material do you guys recommend for this sucker ?
I used Kaplan and about one evening of study. There’s not much material there, but the test was a little harder than I was expecting (I still passed though).
“Pass the 63” by Walker. I studied with it for a couple of days and got 90.
Do you have to be sponsered to take the 63? I know for the 7 that you do… but I think I read somewhere that a sponser is not needed for the 63??? Is this true? Thanks
Why on earth would you take the series 63 without a sponsor?
^ because some jobs require that the applicants have it prior to applying for a particular position. Some place say that they will sponser the 7 (and/or 63) but it’s better to have it beforehand…makes you more attractive candidate from the firms standpoint…kind of like “i want to be a trader but I don’t have a series 7, I don’t have a series 7 b/c no one would sponsor me…” it’s the vicious cycle (although i know that firms will take a chance on a younger guy etc…) the question was asked b/c i remember reading on another forum that the 63 didn’t need a sponsor…maybe I misread/understood (which seems to be the case) no need to be troll about it…if your in the know help the younger guys out…that’s all don’t really know your status but I’m guessing your more on the experienced side… pretty sure you had dumb question here and there when you were just starting out??? don’t mean to start a war or be a d**k but it was a honest question
When I first began my career in finanical service, my firm required 63, I got a copy of the Kaplan serier 63 (off a shelf, full of dust), study for about 5 hour and passed. You will do just fine.
From what I read, you do not need a sponsor. The U10 form says - “C. . The following examinations do not require authorization from a State Administrator or self-regulatory organization”
Agreed, no need to take Series 63 without a sponsor… But, it’s a pretty easy exam…I used the Securities Training Corp a few years ago and passed with an 80 or something close to that
The 63 material is incredibly boring. I just had to take the 65 which includes some of the dullest material I’ve ever read. Give me FRA anyday.
EMPIRESTOCKBROKER.COM I used them for my 7 and 63… I used their book for the 65 and failed but their material for the 7 and 63 was perfect… Read the book 2 times, maybe even 3 (its only like 40 pages of reading) and take the tests (there are 4 i think) until you score over 85…
I have the STC material . Anyone used that ?? Is it good enough ?
I’ve used STC for all of my license prep (7, 24, 63, 65) and found it very helpful.
