The FINRA Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Examination (IR) blueprint is organized into 4 domains, led by Provides Customers with Information About Investments, Makes Recommendations, Transfers Assets and Maintains Appropriate Records (50%), Obtains and Verifies Customers’ Purchase and Sales Instructions; Processes, Completes and Confirms Transactions (10%), and Seeks Business for the Broker-dealer from Customers and Potential Customers (24%). The complete weighted syllabus appears above on this page — it is the checklist your preparation should be measured against.

You will face 55 (50 scored + 5 unscored pretest) questions within 90 minutes on the Series6 exam. The real exam pressure comes from that ratio — knowledge alone does not finish exams on time. Rehearse with the TestKingIT test engine's timed mode, repeat the same question sets until the answers consolidate, and pacing stops being a risk factor.

Must be sponsored by a FINRA member firm; corequisite: pass the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam

• FINRA Official Content Outline

Courses build the framework; repeated practice consolidates it. Pair whichever resource you choose with 325 practice questions from TestKingIT and important knowledge points stay learned, not just seen.

The Series6 exam — full title Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative Examination (IR) — is FINRA's own certification test, and passing it awards the Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative certification at the Entry-level level. The certificate is valuable precisely because it is demanding: it proves to employers that your skills survived a vendor-built examination. It also serves as a stepping stone toward Securities Industry Essentials (SIE), Series 63, Series 66, Series 7.

The passing score is 70%, and the official registration fee is $100 USD. Note that the fee pays for a single attempt — a retake is charged at full price again, which is the expensive way to discover weak spots. The cheaper discovery method is self-testing: drill 325 practice questions at TestKingIT in timed mode until your scores clear the passing mark with room to spare, then register.
