About the Series 66 Exam
How many questions are on the Series 66 Exam?
There are a total of 110 questions. Ten of the questions are "experimental" and are not counted toward your score. One thing the exam prep companies don't take into account are these 10 extra questions. They prep you for answering 100 questions in 150 minutes when in reality you have to answer 110.
In the Series 66 Exam, how many questions do you need to get correct to pass?
You need to get 73 questions correct to pass. Remember this is 73 out of 100 (73%). Ten of the questions you will complete are experimental and thus not graded.
Do you need to be sponsored to take the Series 66?
No! Unlike the Series 7, sponsorship by a FINRA-associated firm is NOT necessary. Taking the Series 66 is a great way to prove to employer firms that you take initiative and are likely to pass the Series 7. Passing the Series 66 removes a lot of the risk of hiring you.
