I took the Series 65 Exam and passed with a good score. Thank you for all the materials. I did have to put a lot of study time into it but with hard work, your materials and prayer I passed!

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!

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!

Your material was great. I took the Series 65 in March [2010] and passed with a 90%.

I PASSED. A big thank you to Solomon Exam Prep for breaking down the material for the Series 65 exam into understandable information. I started my exam prep journey with another provider and their material was simply too wordy and full of unnecessary information. I switched to Solomon Exam Prep and the material was easy to follow and I PASSED. Thanks so much for being there for me.
