How many questions are on the Series 66?
Verified from NASAA, last checked 2026-07-02. Quick answer below, then the full breakdown.
The Series 66 has 110 multiple-choice questions: 100 scored and 10 unscored pretest questions that NASAA uses to validate future exam content. You cannot tell which questions are pretest, so every question deserves the same effort.
Every Series 66 exam contains 110 multiple-choice questions:
- 100 scored questions that determine your result
- 10 pretest questions that NASAA is validating for future exams
The pretest questions are mixed randomly through the exam and look identical to scored questions. Each exam is assembled by an algorithm from a larger question pool, so two candidates testing at the same time see different question sets balanced to the same difficulty and content weights.
The scored questions follow fixed section weights: 8 on economic factors, 17 on investment vehicles, 30 on client recommendations, and 45 on laws, regulations, and unethical practices.
