I work on the Sales and Trading desk for a small broker dealer that does municipal bonds only. I passed my Series 52 a year ago. Do I need my Series 63 in order to speak with customers in sales and trading capacity?

2 things: 1. I wouldn't put my name on here. 2. I would ask your compliance officer.
It takes a day to study for and pass the 63.
While this is probably true, I would suggest breaking it into 8-10 1-hour sessions so you have longer to let the material sink in. I just took a practice exam section each day and listened to a little material while at the gym and passed it in a breezy two weeks. You hardly have to go out of your way.
You need all of about 4-5 hours of reviewing material and then maybe 3-4 practice tests and you'll pass it. The test is like 45 minutes and you only need a 72 or something to pass.
