Do the terms subordinated debentures and conduit tax treatment give you a headache? Do you need to take the Series 6 exam? If you can answer yes to both of these questions, then you've come to the right place. Pass the 6 shows you, step-by-step, how not to be misled by the questions. Repeatedly, just like on the exam, Walker will try to misdirect you by providing extraneous information or irrelevant choices, then point out the incorrect conclusion you may have jumped to. And for questions filled with lots of numbers and concepts, Walker suggests reading the last line (and maybe even the answers) first, to help you see which information they're feeding you up front that may be completely irrelevant. In addition to practice questions liberally sprinkled throughout its lessons, Pass the 6 includes two complete 100-question practice finals as well as study sheets summarizing each lesson, frequently asked questions, an indispensable section on test-taking tips, and a handy list of acronyms as well as a glossary. Robert Walker, a professional trainer who specializes in the NASD/NASAA Series 63, 65/66, 6, and 7 exams, has written this book for those who are about to venture into the land of securities examinations. 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 6 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. Once you've finished this book, you will be able to take the test with confidence. So what are you waiting for? There's a test to be taken. Get studying!

The NASAA Series 66 Uniform Combined State Law Examination is one of the most challenging securities licensing exams. That's because you must score at least 75% in order to pass, a higher percentage than other Series exams. The regulators have set the bar high for a simple reason: the Series 66 exam, in conjunction with the Series 7 exam, qualifies you to be a securities agent and an investment adviser representative, and the regulators want to make sure that you know what you're talking about when you give investment advice or effect securities transactions. So what does this mean for someone studying for the exam? It means that you need to know a lot of stuff, including the three types of securities registration, the nine types of investment risk, the difference between the Strong, Semi-Strong, and Weak forms of the EMH, when a securities professional is permitted to sell non-exempt unregistered securities (never), who may issue a stop order to deny, revoke or suspend, when rescission is allowed and by whom, what contumacy is and how to avoid it, what prudent investor, suitability and fiduciary mean - a lot of stuff! The comprehensive Solomon Exam Prep Guide to the Series 66 Exam works in three mutually reinforcing ways: it focuses on the most important aspects of the exam, it provides you with plenty of practice questions, and it continually reminds you why you have to take the test in the first place: to protect investors. With two complete 100-question practice exams, short quizzes and suggested notecards at the end of each chapter, as well as a helpful glossary, the Solomon Exam Prep Guide will give you the knowledge to tackle the NASAA Series 66 Uniform Combined State Law Examination with confidence!
