Best Series 63 Exam Prep Courses

ExamFX has been on the cutting edge of providing feature-packed, tech-infused exam study courses since 1996. It's managed to combine its resource-rich study packages with exceptional instructor support and a money-back guarantee, all at a reasonable price, making it our choice for the best overall Series 63 exam prep course.

ExamFX's $69.95 Self-Study package offers an interactive learning portal along with a digital textbook, chapter quizzes, online exam simulations, readiness exams, and a Guarantee Exam. Students have access to an extensive question bank to create unlimited practice exams. Students are provided with real-time feedback on their testing through ExamFX's proprietary adaptive learning technology to help guide their course of study.

The Video Study package may be the best value at $99.95. It includes everything from the Self-Study package and adds online flashcards and on-demand video lectures. The Live Online package adds live online training for students who could use the extra help for $129.95.

Students can email their questions to instructors who have access to students' learner profiles and practice exam results so they're ready to provide real-time advice. Students can also ask questions during the live online training if they have the Live Online package.

All students are given the opportunity to take the Guarantee Exam, which makes them eligible for a full refund if they fail the exam on their first attempt if they pass with an 80% or better score within three days of sitting for the exam.

Securities Training Corporation was one of the first exam prep providers. It has harnessed years of experience in creating high-quality exam prep courses since 1969. Its three-tiered offering of Series 63 study packages is backed by instructor support and a money-back guarantee, and it's designed to meet the resource requirements of any learning style, making it our choice for the best comprehensive offering.

It starts with the $88.83 Standard package for more self-directed students. The package includes both offline and online textbook versions and a study calendar. STC's Crunch Time Facts is a study tool that helps students focus on the key concepts they have to know for the exam. Unfortunately, this package does not come with this guarantee that the others have.

Students can choose from a data bank of questions to create up to seven final exams that reflect the actual Series 63 exam.

The Premier package adds online flashcards and on-demand video lectures for students who need more guidance for $130.63. The package also includes six progress exams that pinpoint areas that need work. This package is the first that includes the guarantee as well.

The STC pass guarantee also kicks in at the Premier level. STC's $182.88 Premier Plus package adds live online instruction for students who can benefit from face time instruction.

All packages have a six-month enrollment period. They include instructor support access. STC publishes a pass rate of 95%, inclusive of all its securities exam courses.

Kaplan Financial Education has been stacking its exam prep courses with essential learning tools since 1970, making it a contender for the best overall exam prep course provider each year. You have to wonder how Kaplan manages to pack so much value in a $59 course when you look at its Series 63 Basic Self-Study package.

The Basic Self-Study package includes Kaplan's highly acclaimed License Exam Manual, a performance tracker, a study calendar, and the SecuritiesPro™ QBank that can feed an unlimited number of practice exam attempts.

The interactive QBank is updated regularly with hundreds of questions that allow students to create exams tailored to their study needs. The QBank enables students to review their performance on exams, track time spent on questions or an exam, and review in-depth rationales for each question while pointing them to resources to learn more about a topic. It does the same for building simulated exams that provide a comprehensive test review of all material.

The QBank is also available in the $99 Essential Self-Study package, which adds additional checkpoint exams and a video library. The Premium Instruction package is also a great value for $129 to $159. It adds class notes, InstructorLink™, and the option to choose either on-demand video or live online instruction with live instruction costing a bit more.

The three drawbacks that keep Kaplan out of the running for the best overall provider are its lack of a money-back guarantee and mobile app, as well as the lack of instructor support for the two self-study packages.

Kaplan does not publish a pass rate for its Series 63 exam.

Pass Perfect has prepared its students for securities exams through extensive simulated test practice since 1967. A cornerstone of its Series 63 study packages is an extensive question bank that can feed many unique, full-length practice exams, as well as an unlimited number of quizzes targeting each of the four main subject areas. All this makes it our choice as the provider with the best question bank.

Pass Perfect provides students with instant feedback from each simulated exam and updated guidance on where to direct their efforts. The packages also include a glossary to keep terms close by so you don't have to keep going back to the textbook. Each of Pass Perfect’s three study packages includes the question bank and an interactive dashboard, audio tutorials, and chapter intro videos.

The $99 starter Pass Plus package is a little pricier than other starter packages, but it does include tutorials and intro videos. Its Pass Plus Pro may be a better value at $139 because it includes digital flashcards, instructor support, and on-demand virtual review. The Pass Promise package is the only one that offers a money-backed guarantee. The Pass Promise package also provides live virtual review sessions, all for $179.

Pass Perfect doesn't publish a pass rate for its Series 63 exam, but the company publishes a 97%+ chance of passing exams after completing any of its offered programs.

Backed by John Wiley & Sons, one of the largest global financial information publishers, Securities Institute of America has been packing its study packages with quality materials since 1996. Its Series 63 self-study package has all the tools and resources students need to pass the exam, making it our choice as the provider with the most comprehensive self-study package.

The Series 63 Complete Self-Study package includes a 215-page textbook, a test bank with 800 questions, and four hours of online video instruction. The test bank is accessible for six months on any device, as is an e-book, providing mobile access to all course materials. This package offers a fairly big bang for the buck at $149. The money-back guarantee that's available on all study packages makes it an even more attractive package.

SIA offers an $99 package for students who don't need access to online video instruction or the e-book. It still includes six-month access to the test bank. Or you can purchase the exam prep software with the test bank for just $55.99. Other packages are available as well.

Students who pass SIA's Greenlight guaranteed pass exams will receive a refund if they don't pass the exam on the first attempt. SIA has an average 90% pass rate on all of its securities exams.
