Product Description
Do the terms contumacy, federal covered security, and impoundment of proceeds give you a headache? Do you need to take the Series 63 exam? If you can answer yes to both of these questions, then you've come to the right place. Robert Walker, a professional trainer who specializes in the NASD/NASAA Series 63, 65/66, 6, and 7 exams, has written this book for those who are about to brave the Series 63 examination. Armed with an M.F.A. in writing and a B.A. in English, Walker has managed to translate Securities-ese into plain English, with a liberal dash of humor. This must-have book guides you through the intricacies of the Series 63 exam. Walker takes the exam apart piece by piece, and explains terms and concepts with a sense of humor and ease not found in other exam guides. He shows you, step-by-step, how not to be misled by the questions. In addition to a lengthy exercise in translation back into English, Pass the 63 includes four complete 60-question practice finals as well as a handy glossary. Plus you'll find that Robert directs you to his web site, where he offers updates, downloads, more practice finals, and other helpful information. Once you've finished this book, you will be able to take the test with confidence!

 End of Chapter ?'s Will Help You Pass Your Test, 2008-06-11
Fortunately, I passed my Series 63 test on my last try, which could have resulted in a job loss for me. Besides using the Kaplan Series 63 test, drill practice exercises and audio disk, I used Robert Walker's Pass the 63 test. The questions are actually harder in his book and more comparable to the actual NASD test than the actual Kaplan book. I didn't read everything in the book because it was wordy. However, the questions did help me a great deal as an additional study aid. Who knows maybe if I didn't buy the book and studied the questions, I might have failed the test. The book guarantees you to pass and I did.

 Helped me Pass with 80%, 2008-03-24
I used this book in conjuction with Walker's Pass the 65 to take the Series 66. I scored an 80 percent so was extremely pleased. I would say that if you are taking the 66, Walker's "Pass the 65" should suffice. The "Pass the 63" covered the same basic material. Walker's method of teaching helps you remember the facts during the exam. I used Securities Institute of America, Inc "Series 65" when I took my 65 the first time around and did not pass. I would definitely go with Walker's books.

 So So, 2007-10-12
This book condensed all the info and did make it easier to understand, but I took the test and it is much more in depth than the book. I would say it covers about 60% of what's on the real test. You need a supplement to get more detailed info on new rules. Save your money and get something else.

book barely gets passing grade, 2007-08-08
I wish I could recommend this book because it is easy to read and made studying fun, but unfortunately most of the exam questions were not covered in this book. I took the test yesterday and passed with a 70%, the bare minimum.
Approximately 40% of the questions were covered in this book and on the remaining 60% I had to guess. Since I could narrow most guesses down to 2 possibilities, I was able to squeeze out a 70% and pass.
Maybe there's something out there that will better prepare you..don't know. If you do get this book I would definitely use a supplemental study resource. By itself, it isn't enough unless you're a good guesser or lucky like I was.

Not Bad, 2007-05-03
This book will help you pass the Series 63. The one drawback (which you might like) is his poor attempts at humor throughout the book. I personally would have preferred it more straightforward. But definitely worth the price.
