Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Series 6 vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the Series 6 vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 Series 6 terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the Series 6 terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the FINRA content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What can I sell with a Series 6 license?
The Series 6 license allows you to sell mutual funds, variable annuities, variable life insurance, and unit investment trusts (UITs). It does not permit selling individual stocks, bonds, or options.
How many questions are on the Series 6 exam?
The Series 6 exam has 50 scored multiple-choice items plus 5 unidentified, unscored pretest items (55 total). You have 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete it. The passing score is 70, and FINRA equates scores across exam forms rather than promising a fixed raw-question cutoff.
