I have taken and passed the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 using this amazing Solomon study program. Each time, I felt prepared for the exam and confident in my answers. Solomon's study structure and varying mediums of study make it interactive and easy to learn.. It's an amazing deal for the tools received. I would highly recommend this program!

The Series 66 Exam Prep offered by Solomon Exam Prep is exceptional. I used both the textbook and the exam simulator as my only study materials for the exam and passed with an 88. The Solomon material is written in a way which is easy to understand and digest. The exam simulator was excellent in preparing me with quizzes and full length practice tests to focus on my points on weakness and prepare me for the real thing! I would highly recommend both of these products to anyone!
