Questions buyers ask
- What is the cheapest way to prepare for the Series 6 exam?
- Start with what costs nothing: 300 practice questions on PrepPass, with explanations and no signup. If you want it taught in one file you keep, the full study guide is $14.99 once; the printable cram sheet for the last days is $9.99. No subscription on any of them.
- Who administers the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Qualification Examination (Series 6)?
- Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The SIE exam is a corequisite: candidates must pass both the SIE and the Series 6 to obtain the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products registration.
- How many questions are on the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Qualification Examination (Series 6)?
- 55 questions (50 scored, 5 unscored pretest). FINRA allocates the 50 scored items across four job functions: 12, 8, 25 and 5 (Function 3, information and recommendations, is 25).
- How long is the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Qualification Examination (Series 6)?
- 90 minutes
- What is the passing score for the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Qualification Examination (Series 6)?
- Not published by FINRA (scale range). FINRA's Series 6 page lists "Passing Score 70", and the content outline says scores are equated onto a common scale; neither states that scale's range, so PrepPass does not render 70 as a percentage.
- How much does the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Qualification Examination (Series 6) cost?
- $100 — Exam fee (FINRA, per attempt)
- What languages is the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Qualification Examination (Series 6) offered in?
- Not published by FINRA. FINRA's exam page, content outline and Limited English Proficiency page name no exam language; the only language provision is extra time for eligible candidates whose primary language is not English.
- Does the Series 6 cram sheet come as a PDF?
- Yes — Series 6 — Cram Sheet (2026) downloads as PDF, 29 pages. The download link is emailed the moment payment clears and does not expire.
- How much does the Series 6 cram sheet cost?
- $9.99, once. There is no subscription and no account to create; the PDF file is yours to keep.
- Are there free Series 6 practice questions?
- Yes — 300 of them, free to use with no signup and an explanation on every one. They are separate from this cram sheet, which is what you are buying here.
- What is the difference between the Series 6 study guide and the cram sheet?
- The study guide ($14.99) teaches the material chapter by chapter and is meant to be read over weeks. The cram sheet ($9.99, 29 pages) drops the teaching and keeps the figures: every number on the exam grouped by value so the confusable ones sit together, each reference page paired with a recall page that blanks the answers, and four routes by days left — 14, 7, 3, or tonight. They are separate purchases; neither replaces the other.
- Is there a cheaper way to buy the Series 6 cram sheet with anything else?
- Yes. FINRA SIE + Series 6 is $24.99 for 4 files in one checkout — 46% less than the $46.96 those items cost bought separately today. It adds FINRA SIE — Complete Study Guide (2026), Series 6 — Funds & Variable Contracts Study Guide (2026), FINRA SIE — Cram Sheet (2026). The saving is measured against the items' real current prices; there is no struck-through "original" price on this site.
- Is this the official Series 6 cram sheet?
- No. This is an independent cram sheet and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the exam's awarding body. It is written from FINRA / SEC / Investment Company Act 1940 — independently source-checked. Always confirm current requirements with the body that issues your licence.
What's included — and what isn't
Included
- Every figure pooled by value — the exam's own confusable sets side by side, each inside the clause that makes it right
- A RECALL twin of every REFERENCE sheet: same rules, same positions, figures blanked — print double-sided, cover, write, flip
- A concept self-test for the rules with no figure to blank
- Four routes through the same pages: 14 days, 7 days, 3 days, tonight
- A fold-out exam-morning card of the figures two or more rules share
- Every rule id links to the free chapter that teaches it
Not included
- No printed copy is shipped — this is a file you download and can print yourself
- No video course, instructor or tutoring comes with the book — the free videos on the site are separate
- Not your exam registration or the testing centre's fee, which you still pay to the official body
Before you buy
- How do I get it?
- Pay, and the download appears on this page straight away. The links are also emailed to you. No account is required.
- What if it isn't for me?
- Email us within 14 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
- Is the free practice going away?
- No. Every practice question, the timed mock and the free chapters on this site stay free. This packet is the exam's figures arranged for recall, not a gate around the free half.
- Can I read it on my phone?
- Yes — it is a PDF, which opens on phones, tablets and computers and prints cleanly. There is no EPUB edition of this one.
