How are questions selected?
NASAA identifies the appropriate sections and the number of questions in each section in the exam specifications (see topic outline for Series 65 or Series 66 exam). The PROCTOR system then randomly selects the questions for your exam on a section-by-section basis from the appropriate question bank. The system automatically tracks the difficulty level of each question and enforces selection criteria that will assure that each candidate receives an exam of comparable difficulty. Once the system measures and accepts an exam for presentation to you, it sequences the questions. The PROCTOR system places the difficult questions in the middle and the easier ones at the beginning and at the end of the exam.
