What is the 6 X 6 format?

• A. Six words per line and six slides per topic.
• B. No more than six words per point and no more than six lines per slide.
• C. A maximum of six slides per presentation, six points per slide.
• D. Six bullet points per slide with six fonts.

Answer: (B)

The idea behind the 6 X 6 format is to keep slides concise and readable. It sets a limit of six words or fewer for each bullet point and no more than six lines of text on a slide. This encourages you to summarize ideas, speak the details aloud, and avoid crowding the slide with too much text. When slides are tidy and brief, the audience can scan them quickly and focus on what you’re saying, which helps with understanding and retention. In real estate presentations, this approach makes data, steps, and features clearer without overwhelming clients or colleagues. The other options describe different limits—like words per line, or numbers of slides, points, or fonts—which don’t reflect the intended balance of brevity and readability that the 6x6 rule aims for.
