Product Description
Do the terms collaterized mortgage obligation, subordinated debenture, and pass-through certificate give you a headache? Do you need to take the Series 6 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 6, 63, 65/66, and 7 exams, has written this book for those who are about to brave the Series 6 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 6 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. Pass the 6 includes two complete 100-question practice finals, a handy glossary, a final checklist/studysheet, and even a bonus section on trusts, estates, and gifts, along with its own set of questions. Plus you'll find that Robert directs you to his web site, where he offers updates, downloads, and other helpful information. Once you've finished this book, you will be able to take the test with confidence!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Full of Knowledge, September 22, 2006
This easy to understand and toned down book was excellent! I previously failed the Series 6, using an unnamed Company. (Just becasue they say they have a method that works does not mean that it works).
This book was awesome. It explained new and old information in a comical way but it stayed on track and on task. The study questions and review tests were extremely helpful. And the test taking tips are easy to remember. All I have it 2 words. . . I PASSED.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money, January 16, 2007
This book was the most helpful tool I had in preparing for my exam. I also used online preperation, but it was dry and boring. I actually looked forward to reading this book! It explains the terms in plain english and even has some laugh out loud moments. It also relates terms and concepts to each other so that they make sense and aren't just an excercise in memorization. I highly recommend it to anyone preparing for the Series 6!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked for me!!!, April 30, 2007
I used this book only. I didn't use tapes, internet, or any other classes.
I am NOT a good test taker. Learned the book studied the practice test answers and past with an 83.
