If you reached this page as part of an ongoing search for expert Series 65 test prep, Varsity Tutors can set you up with private Series 65 courses to help you build self-confidence heading into the exam. Series 65 (or Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination) is a standardized test administered by FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) to ensure that licensed Investment Adviser Representatives have the skills needed to carry out their professional duties. If you feel as though your Series 65 prep needs an edge, let us refer you to private Series 65 tutoring services today!
Series 65 test prep typically begins by reviewing the formatting and structure that test-takers can expect on exam day. For example, Series 65 is a computer-based exam that utilizes a multiple-choice format. You have a total of three hours to answer 130 questions. If you don't have much experience with digital exams or worry that you'll run out of time on test day, taking practice exams during your Series 65 preparation may help you determine anything you need to change before it counts.
The table below breaks down the topics covered on the Series 65 exam, as well as how heavily each is weighted:
Series 65 Exam Breakdown
| Section | Percentage of Test |
| Economic Factors and Business Information | 15% |
| Investment Vehicle Characteristics | 25% |
| Client Investment Recommendations and Strategies | 30% |
| Laws, Regulations, and Guidelines Including Prohibition on Unethical Business Practices | 30% |
One of the benefits of private Series 65 classes is the ability to study whatever you want to. If you enroll in a large Series 65 test prep product, you'll probably spend most of your time covering everything besides Economic Factors and Business Information, as it constitutes much less of the test than the other topics. However, Series 65 tutors would be happy to go over it with you if it helps you pursue your professional goals.
Private Series 65 test preparation also allows you to work in a one-on-one learning environment. You are the only student in your Series 65 class, virtually ensuring that any questions you ask are answered quickly. All of your work may also receive immediate feedback, allowing you to correct any mistakes while the material is still fresh.
Your instructor may even be able to tailor Series 65 prep sessions to your unique needs. For example, a practical learner might want to incorporate real-world examples into their Series 65 test prep to make seemingly abstract concepts seem more useful, while a theoretical learner might prefer to concentrate on the underlying skills the exam is designed to assess. Your tutor may also take the time to really get to know you, allowing them to incorporate some of your non academic interests into your study sessions to make them more interesting.
At Varsity Tutors, we also try to make Series 65 prep as convenient as possible. Every Series 65 course we offer takes place on our exclusive Live Learning Platform, giving you all the benefits of face-to-face study without forcing you to commute someplace. We also try to match every student with an instructor who meets their scheduling needs. We believe that no student should have to give up something they enjoy just to study for the Series 65.
