📅 What to Prioritize in a 90-Day FINRA Study Plan

Planning to take a FINRA exam like Series 6, Series 7, Series 63, or Series 65 within 90 days? That’s a solid timeline — if you manage it right.

Here’s how to structure your time and what to prioritize in a 3-month study plan to maximize your chances of passing.

📘 Month 1: Build a Strong Foundation

Goal: Understand the core material and key concepts.

✅ Priorities:

• Read each chapter or lesson thoroughly
• Take notes and highlight key definitions and formulas
• Watch explainer videos if available
• Start creating flashcards (digital or paper)

🕒 Weekly Time: 6–10 hours

Focus on comprehension, not speed.

📘 Month 2: Reinforce & Apply

Goal: Move from passive learning to active practice.

✅ Priorities:

• Take section-by-section quizzes
• Start applying concepts to example scenarios
• Review notes and flashcards regularly
• Identify weak topics and revisit them
• Track your progress using a score log

🕒 Weekly Time: 8–12 hours

Focus on retention and application.

📘 Month 3: Practice, Simulate, Master

Goal: Master test strategy and timing.

✅ Priorities:

• Take full-length timed practice exams (at least 3)
• Analyze results: focus on missed questions
• Review key rules, formulas, and exceptions
• Simulate real test conditions (no phone, no notes)

🕒 Weekly Time: 10–15 hours

Focus on confidence, speed, and accuracy.
