Pass the 63

A Training Guide for the NASAA Series 63 Exam In order to be registered to sell securities, most states require that you pass the Series 63 Exam (formally known as the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination). You can pay hundreds of dollars for dense, hard-to-follow books and software that are written by accountants and securities lawyers. Or you can buy First Books' easy-to-understand and easy-to-afford test prep book written by Robert Walker, a professional trainer who specializes in the NASD/NASAA Series 63, 65, 6, and 7 exams. Walker currently holds a Series 63 and 65 but, rather than make money selling investment products and advice, he chooses to educate those who actually do that sort of thing for a living. Walker has an MA in writing from the University of Oregon and a BA in English from the University of Illinois. Walker's gift is the ability to explain the same concept two or three different ways, accommodating different learning styles. His use of humor-yes, unregistered, non-exempt convertible debentures can be amusing-is icing on the cake. Walker likes to remind people that the tired excuse of I'm not a finance major simply doesn't fly. Anyone who can read, anyone who can spot fraud and unethical business practices, anyone who can study for 20-50 hours can pass the Series 63. Good luck on the exam!
