I am in my mid-20s, fresh out of college with a unrelated history degree and is looking to take the NASD exams. I did take a couple of courses in Econ in college and is currently taking some finance classes at a local community college. I was wondering if it is possible for someone like me, with no previous finance knowledge or background to pass the NASD exams. And if it is even worth trying. Thanks.

Yes. Passtrak use to have very good self study guides, with practice exams that seemed almost verbatim on the actual exams.

Yes, you can pass the test. A good start if you have decent knowledge about investments.
There are week long courses that basically teach you everything you need to pass the test.
I believe you need to be sponsored by a member firm to take the test. (I think!). If you have a degree in anything and have good people skills it should be fairly easy to get hired by one of the investment firms in your area. They will train you and send you to school (or have their own) for the NASD exams.
