Can You Retake the Series 63 Exam?

Yes, you can retake the Series 63 exam if you do not pass it on your first attempt.

Here’s how the retake process works for the Series 63 exam:

1. Waiting Period: If you do not pass the Series 63 exam, you must wait at least 30 days before you can retake it. This is the required waiting period between attempts.
2. Retake Fee: You will need to pay the exam fee each time you retake the Series 63 exam. The fee is typically around $165, but it’s always a good idea to confirm the exact cost with the testing provider, FINRA, or NASAA.
3. Unlimited Attempts: There is no limit to the number of times you can retake the Series 63 exam, as long as you adhere to the waiting period between attempts. However, continuing to fail the exam may signal a need for a more thorough review of the material before trying again.
4. Preparation: After each attempt, it’s highly recommended to review your results, identify any areas where you need more study, and take extra time to prepare before retaking the exam.

By following these guidelines, you can retake the Series 63 exam as many times as needed to pass it.
