FINRA Series 63 Exam

The FINRA Series 63 exam—officially called the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination—is a core requirement for individuals who wish to become licensed securities agents in most U.S. states. Although the exam is developed by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), it is administered by FINRA. Anyone seeking to sell securities at the state level will typically need to pass this exam in addition to another licensing test, such as the Series 6 or Series 7.

What the Series 63 Exam Covers

The Series 63 exam focuses on state securities regulations and laws, including the Uniform Securities Act and related NASAA rules. Test-takers are evaluated on their knowledge of registration procedures, business practices, and prohibited conduct. A strong grasp of fiduciary responsibilities and ethical practices is essential.

Format and Scoring

The Series 63 test consists of 65 multiple-choice questions. Only 60 questions are scored; the remaining 5 are unmarked pretest questions used to evaluate future exam content. You’ll have 75 minutes to complete the exam, and a passing score requires getting at least 43 of the 60 scored questions correct, which is approximately 72%.

This is a closed-book exam, but candidates may request scratch paper or an erasable note board during the test.

Why the Series 63 License Matters

Earning your Series 63 license allows you to register with state regulators and legally solicit securities transactions. While it doesn’t qualify you to sell all securities products on its own, it is typically required alongside other FINRA exams. In nearly every state, this license is essential for financial professionals who want to work with clients in a registered capacity.
