Free 25-question diagnostic, then $5 for 5 full attempts · no signup
UniPrep2Go's free Series 65 practice test is a 25-question, 25-minute timed diagnostic with a free topic report and answer review — no email, no account. The full mock is 120 questions / 120 minutes on the $5 UniPrep2Go Mock Pass (5 attempts on any mock).
This free Series 65 readiness check is a timed NASAA Uniform Investment Adviser Law diagnostic — not a recycled Series 7 product quiz. Official Series 65 is 130 scored (+10 pretest) / 180 minutes / 92 correct; this UniPrep2Go mock is shorter (60Q / 75 min) with topic scoring across economics & analysis, investment vehicles, client recommendations/suitability, and laws & ethics. Use the report to queue Anki repairs before Prometric — independent practice, not NASAA/FINRA material.
Official-source aligned. Topic weights, timing, and pass rules follow published NASAA / FINRA delivery outlines. Questions are original UniPrep2Go study aids — not leaked official items. Verify on the official site ↗

What is the Series 65 exam?
The Series 65 Uniform Investment Adviser Law Exam is the NASAA qualification many states require for investment adviser representatives (IARs). It stresses economics and quantitative analysis, investment vehicles, client recommendations and suitability, and laws, regulations, and ethics — not the product-sales focus of Series 7. Candidates often confuse it with Series 66 (which pairs with Series 7 for dual registration); Series 65 stands alone for many RIA pathways.
Administered by: North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA); computer-based delivery via FINRA/Prometric. Confirm current outlines on nasaa.org — UniPrep2Go is independent practice. (official site ↗)
Official format: Official Series 65: 130 scored questions + 10 pretest / 180 minutes / 92 correct to pass (verify live NASAA bulletin). UniPrep2Go mock: free 25-question diagnostic, full mock 120 questions, 120 minutes, topic scoring — diagnostic only.
Who this exam is for
RIA / IAR candidates preparing Series 65; career switchers from Series 7 who need adviser-law depth; and learners pairing the free mock with Anki for daily domain repair.

Confirm current fees, eligibility, and scheduling with NASAA / FINRA delivery before you book the real exam.
