Ready to get started on preparing for your  Series 63?
Let me walk you through the steps that's
going to put you in the best position to pass. Now at the outside
You can't underestimate this exam.
It really does take the full 20 to 25 hours to be fully prepared.
The first step is you want to read the textbook
You are reading for familiarity and exposure
if you didn't master and memorize
some of the rules and regulations, that's ok
for this first pass
Remember, as you are reading through, you gonna have lots of oportunitites
to come back to the textbook to flesh out
and resolve any confusion that you might have
After you read, what I want you to do is to complete 2 practice exams
One on all topics and one exam just on
Units 1, 4 and 5.
The reason for this is that units 1,4 and 5
will make up 85% of your test
So I want you seeing extra questions
and I want you doing extra drilling in that area
When you do these tests, be sure you score the exam as you go and
show the rationales while you are testing
When you are doing these tests,
if there is an area that is confusing to you,
or you don't understand the rationale
Look at the reference at the bottom and go back to the textbook
it refers you to. Read upon on that section
Get the clarity if you don't understand it now
When are you going to learn it?
This is the best time to go back into the textbook and flesh out
any areas that you don't understand
Fix any conceptions and fill the gaps
After you done the reading and 2 practice exams
then you want to come to class
You can come to my live classes or you can watch my on-demand programs
They cover the same content and I am going to build out a framework for you
that's gonna go through all the regulatory regimes
and the ethical rules and obligations
you are going to take good notes in class
and you are going to review these notes to lock in more info
after class, you gonna continue drilling and practicing in the Q bank
completing at least 6 more full length exams
still alternating between all topics
and units 1, 4 and 5. The goal
is to reach a score of 80 percent
on 2 consecutive exams
if you don't hit 80%, you are not done.
You need to keep practicing. So what's the final part of your prep look like?
You are reviewing your class notes
reading the supplemental materials we provide
maybe re-reading or skimming those
heavily tested units. When you are feeling good, you are hitting 80% of
on your Q-banks, you then want to
take our final benchmark exam. And that's gonna predict a couple points
where you are likely to score in the real exam
And it's great to take that at the end
so you can have the confidence knowing that you've mastered what's required
and you are in a strong position to pass
