I have now used Solomon for the SIE, series 6, and 63. I am ordering my 7 materials now. The structure and resources are right on target. The practice exams are more difficult than the exam which makes taking the exam much easier. I give all of the credit to Solomon for my 100% pass rate so far. I recommend Solomon to all of my coworkers.

I used the one iPhone app for the 63 and found it a great help. I used it whilst watching TV, waiting for the car to be serviced, any spare few minutes I would practice a question or two.

Your Series 63 Audiobook was awesome! My company gave me a class and a textbook but it was boring, so I bought your audio book and, honestly, it helped me pass the test the first time. Now I have to take the Series 6 and I am going to get your Series 6 Audiobook and also the Exam Prep Series 6 iPhone app to practice on my iPod Touch. Thank you so much.

Passed the 63 with an 85%. The exam simulator was unbelievably helpful, but still make sure you understand the fundamental concepts and the questions are not always phrased the same way or in the same structure. It was significantly easier as there was some overlap with 79 materials, which I had also previously passed using Solomon materials.

I failed the 63 three times over the course of four years. I passed the first time after taking your course.

After a lengthy absence from the securities industry, I again needed to get licensed. With the great help of Solomon, I did the SIE, Series 7, Series 63, and Series 82, in just over 5 months. The materials are comprehensive and I would recommend reading it all at least twice. Have realistic goals and meet them. Don't take too many days off as the quicker you learn the material the less likely your are to forget the initial stuff. I found the "Ask the Professor" feature to be particularly helpful (and responsive!). I hope I don't need further exams any time soon but, if I do, I will use Solomon.
