The Series 66 Exam which can lead to the candidate being licensed as an Investment Advisor Representative.
The other possible exam would be the series 65 examination.
The Series 66 exam — the NASAA Uniform Combined State Law Examination — is a North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) exam administered by FINRA.
The exam consists of 100 scored questions. Candidates have 150 minutes to complete the exam. In order for a candidate to pass the Series 66 Exam, he/she must correctly answer at least 73 of the 100 scored questions.
There is no prerequisite for the Series 66 examination. However, the SIE and the Series 7 examination are co-requisites to the Series 66 Examination.
What is the Series 65 Exam?
The Series 65 is another path to becoming an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR)
Sometimes called the IAR in a box
Unlike the Series 66 Exam the Series 65 exam does not have the Series 7 Requirement
The Series 65 unlike broker-dealer exams (think the Series 7 Exam) the Series 65 Exam requires no company sponsor.
When taking the Series 66 to join an RIA firm as a IAR, candidates must complete the exam within 150 minutes. A passing score is 73%, which translates to correctly answering 73 of the 100 scored questions. The NASAA, which administers the exam, does not release Series 66 pass rates. But this is a TOUGH exam, many people do not pass on the first try.
Again requisites for this exam are the SIE Exam and the Series 7 Exam Top Off
The test covers financial industry regulation, securities law, ethics, investments and economics. All these topics factor into a financial advisor’s day-to-day work. Most candidates devote considerable time to studying for the Series 65.

Series 65 vs Series 66 Exam
The Series 65 exam is designed for those who do not have a Series 7 license. The content of both exams are similar though the Series 65 will be more heavily concentrated on Investment products and economics (like you would need to learn for the SIE and Series 7 Exam). … The Series 66 exam has a little more State law (such as what you will find in the Series 63 Exam) and some esoteric investment products.
Our audio lessons for both the Series 65 and Series 66 cover the material you would need to learn for the SIE and Series 7 exam so it may be a little more than you need for the Series 66 but we want you to be fully prepared!
The only difference between the two series of exam lessons (the 65 and 66) is that the Series 66 exam also covers the material needed for the Series 63 exam.
