Build your understanding of state securities laws, ethical practices, and professional responsibilities with YGI’s instructor-led Series 63 Exam Preparation Program. Our curriculum is designed to strengthen your knowledge, build confidence, and help you prepare effectively for exam day.
What Is the Series 63 Exam?
The Series 63 Exam, also known as the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination, evaluates your understanding of state securities laws, registration requirements, ethical practices, and the responsibilities of securities agents.
Developed by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and administered by FINRA, the examination focuses on the legal and ethical standards associated with conducting securities business at the state level.
Firm sponsorship is not required to take the Series 63 Exam. Passing the examination does not automatically grant registration or authorize you to sell securities; candidates must also meet applicable registration requirements and any additional examination requirements for their intended roles.
Who Should Take the Series 63 Exam?
The Series 63 Exam is suited to:
• Individuals pursuing registration as broker-dealer agents in states that require the examination
• Financial advisor trainees preparing for securities-related responsibilities
• Registered representative candidates completing state qualification requirements
• Financial professionals whose roles involve recommending or selling securities
• Candidates whose employers have identified the Series 63 as part of their registration requirements
Your employer or the applicable state securities regulator can help determine whether the Series 63 is appropriate for your intended responsibilities.
Why Is the Series 63 Important to Your Career?
The Series 63 Exam is an important qualification for many professionals pursuing securities agent registration. It assesses your understanding of state securities laws, ethical conduct, and obligations to clients.
