Series 65: Customer-specific Obligation

I just passed the Series 65 exam – thanks, Jeremy! Your excellent and enjoyable book and challenging practice exams-and-quizzes were my only resources. This exam kicked my butt, but I was able to accomplish the only essential task – simply "to pass" – because of the thoroughness (and the plain English and occasional humor) of these two essential test prep materials. Here's my warning -- don't underestimate the difficulty of this exam! I highly recommend that fellow Series 65'ers keep taking the practice exams and quizzes until they can comfortably get a score of 80+ before scheduling their exam; you need to go into the exam room with the confidence that this crucial simulated test-taking experience will provide. I'm so grateful for your help!

Just wanted to let all of you know that I passed the 65 on 4/19/10. I got a 76%! Not the highest score, but good enough!!! Thank you so much for all your help. Your study materials (book, audio, and exam simulator) were instrumental in my passing this test the first time! I'll be sure to let any future test takers in my office know about your products! Thanks again!

After failing the SIE with a different study company, I passed after using Solomon! I then passed the S6, S63 and S65 on the first try after studying with Solomon materials! I loved how easy the material was to comprehend and the practice tests were amazing! I felt well prepared for each test! Thank you Solomon!

Well, I finally was able to take my Series 65 and passed with an 85%. I think that the combination of your Series 65 text along with our other vendor made all the difference. It was good to have an additional reference for clarity and in some cases more detailed and straight forward discussion. Thank you for the materials.

I used Solomon to prep for my Series 65 exam. I was extremely impressed with how prepared I was for the actual exam! After reviewing the chapter material and taking 7-10 quizzes for each chapter, I was scoring around a 75 average on the practice exams, I wasn't sure that would be enough to pass. However, on exam day I felt extremely confident with the material, and I passed the 65 on my first attempt with about 45 minutes to spare. Extremely satisfied with how Solomon teaches the material to truly make it stick, and also with the progress statistics that they show you, so you know what to work on. I would 100% recommend it to anyone trying to pass their Series exams!

The Exam Prep online exams solidified the material in my mind and allowed me to use the timer to think quickly. Although the Series 65 exam is not a race, time is a key factor. I finished the test in about and hour and 10 minutes and then spent 20 minutes going back to review the questions I marked, a couple of which I had to use logic to guess what the terms meant (always dangerous to use logic when it comes to this stuff). After completing I pressed the button to submit it for grading and the whole while my heart was pounding as I thought for sure I failed due to the length of time it took to grade (I am certain the computer was laughing at my getting so many ridiculous questions on one test). Lo and behold when the screen returned I got an 82 and I don't think that I could have done it with out your book and your online tests to hammer the info in to my head. At 45 years of age having been removed from college for to many years it was quite an arduous task especially with out a class and about 2 months to prepare part time on my own. So in a long winded way thanks I am sure I could not have passed the Series 65 without your help.
