This book helped me understand all necesary facts for the Series 63 exam. Rita P. Halm did a very good job writting this book, in that, all areas were covered well. Along with this book, I also studied the Dearborn Passtrak 63 book. Werbel's book covered all the facts in a very easy way to understand them. Dearborn went into very good detail. It was easier for me to understand Dearborn's publication after reading Werbel's book.

Overall, a good study guide. The book does cover all of the facts that one needs to know to pass the Series 63 exam. The only negative aspect to the book is that it is very blunt, and does not explain principles in detail.

I do not own this book, however, I do hold a series 7 license. I wanted to make buyers aware that the Series 66, and 65 have changed to much more difficult exams. Not to mention the material has somewhat changed. I would recommend trying to get new material that has these updates as well.

This book does little more than repeat the leagalastic jargon of the Uniform Securities Act and is simply not a very good study aid. I would highly recommend that you purchase Robert Walker's "Pass the 63" instead. It is well written using humor and actual "English" to explain the purposefully obscured language of the Uniform Securities Act. Malm's book merely repoduces that language. I honestly felt somewhat ripped off after I got this book and started reading it; so much so that conscience and ethics prevent me from re-selling it.

This book desparately needs a second edition. It is full of grammatical errors, incomplete definitions, and generally poor editing. There are 100 practice questions at the end, and approximately half of the answers come with explanations. Other books seem to have a lot more. I haven't taken the exam yet, but I know after just a few pages that I would need additional material in order to be adequately prepared.

I found this book to be very minimal and not up to date.There has to be better books out there.

If you can't pass it on the first try your chances don't look good. I got an 80! U. Feel free to leave a feed back.
