Sample Questions
Question 1
Easy
All of the following are municipal fund securities EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: A
Solution
A is correct. Municipal fund securities, regulated under MSRB rules, include 529 college savings plans, ABLE accounts, and local government investment pools (LGIPs). A banker's acceptance is a money market instrument—a time draft used in trade finance—and is not a municipal fund security.
Question 2
Medium
A registered representative may engage in all of the following activities EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
C is correct. Selling fund shares in an amount just below a breakpoint so the customer fails to receive a reduced sales charge—a "breakpoint sale"—is a prohibited practice because it generates a higher sales charge at the customer's expense. Reinvesting distributions at NAV, recommending an amount that reaches a breakpoint, and disclosing 12b-1 fees are all proper conduct.
Question 3
Hard
A registered representative servicing customer accounts may do all of the following EXCEPT:
🎉
Correct Answer: B
Solution
B is correct. Deliberately recommending an investment amount just below a breakpoint—so the customer pays a higher sales charge instead of qualifying for the reduction—is a prohibited breakpoint sale. Updating account records, recommending breakpoint-qualifying Class A shares, and placing a temporary hold under FINRA Rule 2165 are all permitted activities.
What Series 6 candidates are saying
“I passed yesterday. Loved your site. It was a great supplement to my Kaplan course. I love the pings when you get an answer right and the detailed explanation when you get one wrong.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How many free Series 6 practice questions does FreeFellow have?
FreeFellow currently offers 1064 free Series 6 practice questions across 4 topics, each with a detailed step-by-step solution. Questions span three difficulty levels and are aligned to the 2026 syllabus. The question bank is updated regularly.
What Series 6 topics are covered?
The questions cover 4 topics: Seeks Business for the Broker-Dealer from Customers and Potential Customers, Opens Accounts After Obtaining and Evaluating Customers' Financial Profile and Investment Objectives, Provides Customers with Information About Investments, Makes Recommendations, Transfers Assets and Maintains Appropriate Records, Obtains and Verifies Customers' Purchase and Sales Instructions; Processes, Completes and Confirms Transactions. Each topic page shows your progress and lets you filter by difficulty level. You can practice by topic to target your weak areas or take mixed-topic practice exams.
Is FreeFellow really free for Series 6 prep, or is there a catch?
No catch. The 70% of Series 6 prep you actually need to pass is free forever: the full question bank of 1064 practice questions, detailed solutions on every question, mixed practice, the formula sheet, and readiness tracking. No trial period, no credit card. The remaining 30% (timed mock exams, flashcards with spaced repetition, performance analytics, and a personalized study plan) unlocks when you become a Fellow.
What does the $79 Fellow tier unlock for Series 6?
Fellow ($79 per quarter or $199 per year, per track) unlocks four things on top of the free tier: timed mock exams with weighted scoring that match the real exam blueprint, spaced-repetition flashcards built on memory science from cognitive psychology, topic-level practice to drill weak areas, performance analytics broken down by topic and difficulty, and a personalized study plan that adapts to your exam date. Everything else (questions, solutions, lessons) stays free.
How does FreeFellow compare to Kaplan, Knopman, or Securities Training on price?
Traditional Series 6 prep providers charge $200 to $3,500 for a single exam, paid upfront. FreeFellow keeps the question bank, written solutions, and lessons free forever. The optional Fellow tier is $79 per quarter (a small fraction of what the big providers charge) and adds mock exams, flashcards, analytics, and a study plan. You can pass Series 6 entirely on the free tier.
How should I use FreeFellow to study for Series 6?
Start with topic-based practice to identify weak areas. As your exam date approaches, switch to timed practice exams under realistic conditions. The free tier gives you everything you need to build mastery; if you want pacing tools (mock exams, analytics, a study plan) and long-term retention aids (spaced-repetition flashcards), become a Fellow.
Do I need employer sponsorship to take the Series 6?
No. The SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) does not require employer sponsorship. You can register directly through FINRA and take it at a Prometric testing center (FINRA).
About FreeFellow
Jeffrey Ting
FSA, CFA · Founder
FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance on the first attempt, and paid four-figure prep fees for every one. The learning itself was always free. The price was a moat.
So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 35 finance credentials with more than 40,000 original practice questions. The name says exactly what it is: the question bank is free, and Fellow is what you become once you pass.
01
Cost shouldn't decide who gets in.
The exam is a fair gate. A four-figure prep course is not. FreeFellow takes the second gate down, so the exam is the only one left.
02
Free should mean free.
No trial clock, no email gate, no credit card. The question bank, worked solutions, lessons, and readiness score stay free, and they are enough to pass.
03
Built by someone who sat where you sit.
He paid for the big-name courses, found nothing he respected, and built the prep he wished had existed. Not a marketing team that has never sat an exam.
