I had at one point in my life been interested in being a stock broker. This is an interesting career and its a difficult one to get into. You had to pass a test called the series 7 test, and to even to take the test you had to be employed by a brokerage, meaning, you had to have the job you weren’t qualified for.

If you want to be a investment adviser you need to take the Series 65 test. Its about 3 hours long and is comprised of 130 questions. The questions are multiple choice. Taking the Series 65 Exam is a move in the right direction!

You will however need to study, and I have found a site that has great materials and for much less money than you would think. Everything from and of chapter mini tests, to large and focused vocabulary related to the testing is covered. The final exam given in the study guide is as close to the actual test as the can legally get, when you can pass their practice exam, you are ready for the real thing!

Be prepared to take and pass this exam, as you can only take it so often, i think its 6 months between testing periods.
