TESTIMONIALS

Great service, practice questions and mock exams were the key to passing. (Series 3)

Darragh Lenihan, Global Commodities Holdings Limited. Singapore

I would heartily recommend Solomon for anyone studying for the Series 3. The materials are comprehensive, the bank of questions vast and the responsiveness to questions incredibly impressive and detailed. I passed first time and that in no small part is down to Solomon.

David Woolfenden Totem London

I initially studied using a different exam prep course (The Securities Institute of America). I waited until I consistently passed the practice exams with a score over 90% before I took the actual exam and unfortunately I failed the exam on my first attempt. I discovered and purchased the Solomon Exam Prep and immediately noticed the studying material was more in depth. I waited until my practice exam score was consistently over 85% and I went to take the actual exam and passed. Thank you so much!! (Series 3)

Joshua Turner, J.D. Turner Capital, LLC, Baltimore, MD

I began the process of studying for the Series 65 in October of 2013. I studied with two other exam prep companies. The result, a 70% each time.

Then, I bought Solomon’s Exam Prep 65. As I did with the other two, I went step by step, and when it said I was ready I sat for the exam! Boom! 80%, passing all four sections at once! So if you’re surfing the internet right now wondering who to go with….STOP….Solomon’s is the right choice for today’s professional to get the licensing you need done the first time, not the third!

Shad Johnson, The Mueller Companies, Canon City, CO

I passed the Series 65 with a 92% thanks to the Solomon practice exams. The questions on the practice exams were very similar to what I actually encountered on the actual exam, and the ability to take unlimited practice exams really built my knowledge and confidence. I highly recommend this product to anyone studying for the Series 65.

Neal Thompson, Denver, CO, Series 65

I took a job which required me to pass the SIE, Series 6, Series 63 and Series 26. Understandably this was a pretty tall task, but the Solomon Exam Prep materials made it incredibly easy. I appreciated how well all of the material was laid out for all four tests. I stuck to the study plans that were included in the resources and passed all four tests on the first try. This was a stressful time in my life, but Solomon got me through it! I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone who is looking to become licensed. Part of my new job is managing other licensed individuals and I recently hired two employees who are now required to be licensed. I reached out to Solomon for a demo of their Admin Portal and it is wonderfully comprehensive. It allows me to track my employees progress without having to reach out and be too invasive. Excellent all around!
