What are the differences between the series 6 & 7?

I am prepping for my Series 7 & 66 and would like to know what are the differences in all the exams such as the 3, 4, 55 and 24. I would like to take as many as I can now to make me more marketable since I just got my foot into the industry from the military. Is there a good resource that explains what kind of jobs require each examination?

  • Please visit www.finra.org - examination and you will find all the series examination for registred reps(broker) and registered principle. You don't need to take everyone. Take what you need based on the type of jobs that you plan to do and the job requirement.

  • Some of the exams you cannot just take, you need to be sponsored by someone to take them. As a general rule, if you want to work in equities you will need your series 7. If you want to be a sell-side analyst and you DON'T have a CFA, then you will need the series 86 and 87. If you have th CFA, then only the 87. You mention the series 24. If you are just entering the profession, then this in not for you. This is for a director of research/management. If you are in NYC, then you also want to take your series 63, which is your NY state regulatory exam.
