Series 66 or 65?

I already have the Series 7 and 63, but now I am required to take the Series 66 for a new job I will be starting. I can either take the Series 65 (and combine it with the 63) to satisfy this requirement, or I can take the 66. Any opinions on which one I should take? For some reason the 66 is shorter, even though it contains more information than the 65.

 

If you already have the 63 then you don't need to take the 66, simply the 65. Like you mention the 66 encompasses both the 63 and 65. Feel free to do the 66 if you want but it has a 75% pass rate vs the 65 which has a 72% hurdle. I'd just do the 65.

Nice guys may not finish last but they sure don't finish first. Loyalty is not rewarded, it's taken advantage of. 
 

I recently passed the 65. I can't speak for the 66 but I didn't think the 65 was that hard. If you know basic bachelor level financial stuff, then you've already got half the test. The other half is memorizing a bunch of different acts, Securities Act of 33, Advisors Act of 34, Inv Company act of 40. I did all the practice questions on Investopedia and passed.
