What is the Series 66 passing score?
Verified from NASAA, last checked 2026-07-02. Quick answer below, then the full breakdown.
The Series 66 passing score is 73%, meaning you need at least 73 correct out of 100 scored questions. The exam also includes 10 unscored pretest questions for a total of 110, but only the 100 operational questions count toward your result.
The Series 66 requires a minimum score of 73% to pass. Here is how the scoring works:
Scored questions: 100
Pretest questions: 10 (not scored)
Total questions: 110
Questions needed to pass: 73 of 100 (73%)
The pretest questions are randomly distributed and indistinguishable from the scored ones, so treat every question as if it counts.
The 73% bar is higher than most FINRA exams (the Series 7 requires 72%, the SIE 70%), and NASAA does not round up: 72 correct is a fail. There is no penalty for guessing, so answer every question even when you are unsure.
