Series 66: Broker-Dealer Suitability

Taken from our Series 66 Online Guide

Broker-Dealer Suitability

Broker-dealers must believe on reasonable grounds that the transactions or strategies they recommend are suitable for an individual customer. Firms may approve an account only after conducting a suitability analysis, based on the firm’s due diligence in understanding the risks of the recommendations they make and the customer’s personal and investment profile. They must make “reasonable efforts” when opening an account to collect and maintain this information.

Specifically, FINRA recognizes three components with regard to suitability obligations:

Thanks to you guys, I passed my Series 7 the first time around on Tuesday the 21st. The information given was not only accurate but easy to absorb due to the way the material was set up in your course. I will back to study the Series 66 with you.

Thank you so much and special thanks to the product you put out!! I did not know about Solomon a year ago when I took the Series 7 and I used another company's material. I did not pass the 7 first time and I was extremely nervous about the 66. However your product was wonderful and thanks to you guys I passed the 66 on my first try!!! Can't thank you enough!!!

I passed the Series 66 exam with an 83 this morning! I wanted to personally thank you for all the help you have given me. Your method of presenting the information needed to pass these exams is outstanding (I only had two weeks to study). In the future I wouldn't even consider using another resource to tackle the preparation for a Series exam. Moving forward in my career I will be sure to pass this information on to friends and colleagues without hesitation.

I just passed the Series 66 exam and found that the Solomon Exam Prep materials are the way to go when preparing for this exam. The advice given from the get-go is spot on; if you think you can cram for this course, forget it. Use the materials as advised and you'll do well. The format of the practice exams closely simulate the way the questions are presented on the test itself. I had 2 prep materials, Solomon's and another and I honestly believe Solomon's was the one that helped the most.

I actually took the test (Series 66) in November and passed! I purchased the book and bought access to the online tests and found both invaluable. The book provided a good basis for knowledge, and taking the tests over and over gave me the logic of what the test writers were seeking.

Thank you so much for your great study materials! I have used Kaplan in the past and this is so much better! I used your study materials to get an 84% on my Series 7 and an 85% on my Series 66! Keep up the good work!
