I'm going to be studying for these two exams and wanted to get an idea of how hard the exam is. Sure that is a subjective question, but any info would be appreciated.

later...

just curious, why the series 6 and not 7?

i will be dealing only with variable contracts and mutual funds for a company i work for (which is a NASD broker/dealer). since i will only be pushing their products, i suppose the 7 isn't necessary in their eyes.

Don't worry, if you study, you'll pass. I need $300 from you for books.. you'll get it back when you pass the series 6.


heh - my company is picking up the tab on all of the study materials - i figured i'd pass if i study, but i just wanted to get some experience from those who have passed it already. luckily, they are paying me to study for the first month of my job.

I think he was referring to yet another Boiler Room quote:
It's time to get your Series Seven books. No need to get nervous. If you study you'll pass. Then you begin trading as an SEC licensed broker. Then you're a fvcking millionaire. It's that simple. I need $300 from each of you for the books which will be returned if and when you pass the exam. And I'll need that tomorrow.

heh - 2 friends hit me up for $$ for books 2nite so it was on the brain.
 
You have to put the time in. If you're not in the upper 90's on the practice exams you aren't ready. I self-studied with Dearborn and got through on my first try. If you're company requires you to get your Series 65 than don't wait too long because there is a lot of overlap between the 3 tests.

Good luck!

Which company will you be working for?

thanks for the advice - i don't think they require the 65, only the 63. i probably will end up studying for the 7, since they pay for it...but it has to be on my own time.
