Series 65
Sound Familiar?
Drowning in 600+ Page Textbooks
You're reading Kaplan or STC cover to cover, highlighting everything, taking notes... and by the time you finish Chapter 9, you've already forgotten Chapter 2. The material just won't stick.
Studying While Working Full Time Is Breaking You
You're exhausted after work, studying until midnight, sacrificing weekends, and you're still not sure if you're actually ready. Your employer gave you 120 days. The clock is ticking.
Practice Scores Don't Match Reality
You're scoring 85% on Kaplan exams, feeling confident... then you sit for the real thing and the questions look nothing like what you studied. You walk out not knowing if you passed or failed.
It's Not Your Fault. Traditional Prep is Broken.
Most Series 65 prep programs dump 600 pages of content on you and hope something sticks. They test you on obscure topics that rarely appear on the real exam while glossing over the topics worth 30% of your score. No wonder the first time pass rate is under 70%.
Imagine Instead...
Studying Only What Actually Matters
Every question, every flashcard, every minute of study time weighted by how much it's worth on the real exam. Ethics & Fiduciary Duty at 8.5%? You'll nail it. Obscure municipal bond trivia? Skip it.
Actually Remembering What You Learned
Our spaced repetition system brings back concepts right before you forget them. By exam day, Unit 2 is as fresh as Unit 9. No more cramming, no more brain dumps that disappear overnight.
Walking Into the Exam Confident
Your Exam Readiness Score tells you exactly where you stand. When it hits 85%, you're not guessing. You're ready. Users at that level pass 90% of the time.
CertFuel is built around one question:
to pass the Series 65?"
