Sample Questions
Question 1
Easy
Beta is best described as a measure of:
🎉
Correct Answer: A
Solution
A is correct. Beta measures systematic (market) risk — specifically, how a security's return tends to move relative to the broader market. A beta of 1.0 means the security moves in line with the market, greater than 1.0 indicates higher market sensitivity, and less than 1.0 indicates lower sensitivity. Formally, beta equals the covariance of the asset's returns with market returns divided by the variance of market returns. Because beta isolates only the portion of risk that cannot be diversified away, it is the risk measure used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model to price market (systematic) risk.
Question 2
Medium
Which of the following best describes fiscal policy?
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
C is correct. Fiscal policy refers to the federal government's use of taxation and spending to influence the economy. It is set by Congress and the executive branch through legislation such as tax law changes and budget appropriations.
Question 3
Hard
Which of the following cash-equivalent investments is NOT covered by FDIC insurance?
🎉
Correct Answer: D
Solution
D is correct. Money market mutual funds are pooled investment products registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and are not bank deposits. They carry no FDIC insurance; instead they may be covered by SIPC (up to $500,000) if held at a broker-dealer. Although their sponsors historically aim to hold the NAV at $1.00, that target is not guaranteed and the fund can 'break the buck' when underlying holdings lose value.
What Series 65 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.”

What does the $59 Fellow tier unlock for Series 65?
Fellow ($59 per quarter or $149 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 65 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 $59 per quarter (about 1/20th of what the big providers charge) and adds mock exams, flashcards, analytics, and a study plan. You can pass Series 65 entirely on the free tier.
How should I use FreeFellow to study for Series 65?
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 65?
No. NASAA Series 65 and Series 63 exams do not require employer sponsorship. You can self-register through FINRA and schedule your exam at a Prometric testing center. This makes them accessible to independent financial advisors and those not yet employed by a firm.
