Series 63: Administrative Actions

Taken from our Series 63 Online Guide

Administrative Actions

A state securities administrator has a bunch of tools at its disposal to ensure that securities professionals, firms, and issuers operating in their state do what they’re supposed to. Generally, the first step in any action is for the administrator to require someone to either testify in person or supply needed information in written form. If a person or firm fails to do this, the administrator may do one or more of the following:

• Hold the person in contumacy
• Order the person to appear and testify before the administrator (even if it would require them to incriminate or provide evidence against themselves)
• Request that an appropriate court issue an injunction, including restricting or prohibiting the offer or sale of securities or the providing of investment advice
• Issue a cease and desist order (requires professionals to cease all securities related transactions immediately without a hearing)
• Issue an order revoking, denying, suspending, or canceling a registration or license

I just took the Series 63 last week, for the first time. I passed with a grade of 87%. The only study guide I used was your audio book which I listened to on the way to work everyday. I have never worked in the securities industry before, and I had no existing knowledge of anything related to securities law. Everything I know about the subject I learned from your audio book. I will always look to your exam preps for my future test prep needs.

I failed the 63 three times over the course of four years. I passed the first time after taking your course.

I took the 6 and 63. I passed the 6 with a 90% and the 63 with an 87%. I used the test simulator for both and it was a tremendous help. I was actually studying using a different book and I wasn't getting enough info. The Test Simulator was key. It threw the questions at me in a different way which was similar to the actual test. I don't think I would have passed without it. THANKS!

I used Solomon Exam Prep for both the Series 7 and 63. Everyone learns differently, and they have resources for every type of learner. Their practice exams and quizzes push you to be prepared for the most difficult questions, enabling you to be over-prepared (better than the alternative!) for your exam. I received a 93% on the Series 7 and wish the regulators provided a score for the Series 63, but needless to say I passed. If I ever need to take a regulatory exam again, I will look to these guys first.

I took a job which required me to pass the SIE, Series 6, Series 63 and Series 26. Understandably this was a pretty tall task, but the Solomon Exam Prep materials made it incredibly easy. I appreciated how well all of the material was laid out for all four tests. I stuck to the study plans that were included in the resources and passed all four tests on the first try. This was a stressful time in my life, but Solomon got me through it! I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone who is looking to become licensed. Part of my new job is managing other licensed individuals and I recently hired two employees who are now required to be licensed. I reached out to Solomon for a demo of their Admin Portal and it is wonderfully comprehensive. It allows me to track my employees progress without having to reach out and be too invasive. Excellent all around!

I passed the Series 63 yesterday. It's been over 30 years since I took the Bar Exam, so my knowledge of the Blue Sky laws was quite stale. Your "Pass the 63" training guide and exam simulator were godsends. The writing is remarkably clear and concise and delightfully engaging. They made even the most mind-numbingly complicated securities law topic understandable. Invaluable, thank you.
