TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
At Phillips & Co., my job was to hire entry level applicants
who could successfully pass the Series 65 and Series 7 examinations in three
months and do it the FIRST TIME. After trying Kaplan/Dearborn, STC, and even
the Series 7 for Dummies, 85% of our applicants were still having a hard time
passing.
One day while expressing my frustration to a
colleague, he recommended I look up First Books' Exam Prep. I could tell
immediately that this was a unique approach worth the investment. Since we
implemented Exam Prep with new recruits our pass rate shot up to well over 90%.
If you or your employees want to pass your
exam the first time without falling asleep while studying, I highly recommend
you give their training program a try!

Just passed the series 7 today! Solomon was a huge help, as I used the practice exams exclusively. When preparing for this exam, make sure to allocate ~70% of your time on compliance, opening accounts etc. Looking forward to passing the series 66. I will continue using Solomon!

I passed the S7 TO first time it was introduced from last year. I have used several books and none of them could be as complete as this one. I am a living witness to the completeness of your course material. If that was not the case, I would not have passed this very difficult exam. I owe my success to your exam materials and no other book, from those I know have come close. I am going to study for the Series 66 through Solomon Exam Prep. If this can help me through, then I am sure many more people would also succeed.

Feels so good to have
passed! (Series 7) It was about as challenging as I thought it would be and I'm glad the
study material prepared me for understanding the concepts, and not just
memorizing terms and formulas. Only changed two of the 15 answers for questions
I flagged for review and finished it with more than 90 minutes to spare. The
relief I felt upon seeing "Pass" was awesome!
Used Solomon materials for both the SIE and S7. So grateful to
these materials for helping me achieve a passing score on my first attempts of
both exams. The study guide and videos were thorough, comprehensive and easy to
follow. I found the pie charts extremely useful in helping me identify areas
where I needed more study, and was grateful for the Pass Probability feature in
giving me a bit of extra confidence before sitting for the exam. I would
absolutely recommend all of their materials to anyone taking this journey.

I found Solomon Exam Prep from a general comment that probably came from someone who works for the company. It went along the lines, "Solomon Exam Prep also has study materials for the 7" (goes to show you that inbound marketing works)
I tried the STC program that most firms provide, mine included. Didn't like it, and many people on the forum that went that route mentioned they didn't feel adequately prepared for the real exam. In the STC program you can only take each quiz and practice exam 1 time.
Also tried Kaplan's cheap 2 test simulation package but despised the components of the simulation, the mark for review button didn't let me go back to review the test before submitting it, and it took forever to "save" my answers before moving on to the next question. It was just a badly developed program. It wasn't improving my scores nor did it help me to better understand the material.
I tried Solomon's out because it was comparable in price to Kaplan's exam simulation program but I hate Kaplan's simulator. solomon's had a larger question bank, and both provided unlimited tests which was my real requirement.
Loved Solomon's exam simulator program from the start, and the Finra Concept tests combined with the simulation exams is what really improved my score.
Solomon will be the only company I use to prepare for all exams I may have in the future and I highly recommend it. Solomon got a life-long repeat customer all because of a generic comment from a random forum.

Just passed the Series 7 on the first attempt! Many questions on the FINRA exam forced me to consider scenarios from a different perspective, and the conceptual understanding the Solomon materials and study plan facilitated allowed me to apply my knowledge appropriately. If I need another license in the future, I'll rely on Solomon to help me prepare.
