The Series 6 Content Outline was developed based on the results of a job analysis study of Investment Company
and Variable Contracts Products Representatives. The job analysis process included collecting data about the job
functions, tasks and required knowledge of Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representatives
from a wide variety of firms using numerous data collection techniques, including a survey.
To ensure and sustain the job relevance of the examination, under the guidance of FINRA staff, a committee of
industry representatives (“the Committee”) writes, reviews and validates all test questions. Test questions are
subjected to multiple reviews prior to inclusion on the examination and each question is linked directly to a
component of the content outline. Test questions vary in difficulty and complexity. Each question will have only one
correct or best answer.
The bank of test questions changes constantly as a result of amendments to, or the introduction of, government and
self-regulatory organization (SRO) rules and regulations, changes in industry practice and the introduction of new
products. It is the candidates responsibility to keep abreast of such changes when preparing to take the
examination. Examination questions and their statistical performance are analyzed routinely by FINRA staff and the
Committee to ensure that test questions continue to be relevant to the functions of Investment Company and Variable
Contracts Products Representatives. Examination questions are updated when necessary to reflect current industry
practices and government and SRO rules and regulations.
The examination is administered via computer. A tutorial on how to take the examination via computer is provided
prior to taking the examination. Each candidates examination includes 5 additional, unidentified pretest questions
that do not contribute toward the candidate's score. The 5 questions are randomly distributed throughout the
examination. Therefore, each candidates examination consists of a total of 105 questions (100 scored and 5
unscored). Each scored test question is worth one point. There is no penalty for guessing. Therefore, candidates
should attempt to answer all questions. Candidates will be allowed 135 minutes to complete the examination.
Scratch paper and basic electronic calculators will be provided to candidates by the test administrator, and must be
returned to the test center administrator at the end of the testing session. Some test questions involve calculations.
Only calculators provided by the test center administrators are allowed for use during the examination.
Candidates will not be permitted to bring any reference material to their testing session. Severe penalties are
imposed on candidates who cheat or attempt to cheat on FINRA-administered examinations.
Following a well-established process known as standard setting, FINRA determines the passing score for the
examination based on the judgment of a committee of industry professionals with the designated registration. For the
Series 6 exam, the passing score is 70. This passing score reflects the competency needed to hold the designated
registration.
All candidate test scores have been placed on a common scale using a statistical adjustment process known as
equating. Equating scores to a common scale accounts for the slight variations in difficulty that may exist among the
different sets of exam questions that candidates receive. This allows for a fair comparison of scores and ensures that
every candidate is held to the same passing standard regardless of which set of exam questions he or she received.
On the day of the test, candidates will receive a report of their test results both on screen and in paper format at the
end of their test session. The score report will indicate pass/fail status and a score profile indicating performance
based on each major content area covered on the examination. It is recommended that candidates who fail the
examination review the information provided on the score report, as they may want to focus on the areas that they
performed poorly on when preparing to retake the examination. For security reasons, the examination and individual
test questions are not available for review after taking the examination.

US. US exports then become more cheaper and competitive for foreigners, thus resulting in
an increase in US exports and a decrease of foreign imports into the United States
