”I’ve passed all SIE, Series 7 and Series 66 exams all thanks to the Knopman Marks training program. Give my thanks to all the team and faculty, you’ve all been very supportive, helpful, reliable and friendly throughout the process. Being completely new to the industry with no prior knowledge, I relied completely and solely on Knopman Marks materials and I still can’t believe I passed all three exams on their first attempt.”

Series 66 FAQ
Can I take the Series 66 Exam even though I am not sponsored?

Yes. You are not required to have a sponsor to take the Series 66 Exam.

How do I enroll in a live Series 66 class?

The questions on the practice exams are slightly easier than the actual Series 66 Exam, so you should be scoring in the low 80s on the practice exams before taking the examination.

Is All Access Pass (AAP) the only way I can get live training?

Add All Access Pass to your course and you can enroll in any of our Series 66 live (virtual) courses through your Training Center, along with an onboarding call and review sessions. With the All Access Pass, you have unlimited access to our instructor-led sessions.

How many questions should I complete on the Series 66 practice exams before I take the exam?

You should plan on completing between 1,500 and 2,000 practice questions online prior to taking the exam.  If your scores are not within passing range at that point, you may need to complete more questions.

What is the usual study time for the Series 66?

Assuming you are working full-time while preparing for the examination, you should allow yourself 4-8 weeks or 80-100 hours to read through the material and complete practice exams. 

How does the difficulty of your Series 66 practice questions compare to the difficulty of the questions I am likely to see on the actual exam?

The questions on the practice exams are slightly easier than the actual Series 66 Exam, so you should be scoring in the low 80s on the practice exams before taking the examination.

Should I expect to use the full time allotted on the Series 66 Exam?

Most students are able to finish the exam within the allotted time.
