I took the exam three days after we spoke. I had to drive 75 miles to the test center. I finished the exam in a little under two hours and did not want to second guess myself in changing any of my answers. Upon completion of the exam, and subsequent grading I saw a 65 on the screen and I couldn't believe I did so poorly. However, the 65 I saw stood for the Series 65 not my grade and several lines below was my grade which was an 87. Thus I passed with a minimum amount of study looking over your online exam simulator. The questions were very similar to your review questions and I am sure that a candidate who reviews your questions and understands the application will have no problem passing the exam. Thanks for a great product.

Just wanted you to know, I passed the Series 65 exam on the first attempt. Your book was easy and enjoyable to read, all of the important information was very well explained. But I found your online quizzes and exams extremely helpful in getting the material entrenched in my memory. I was very comfortable with the format and wording of the questions on the actual exam after drilling with your online program. Thank you for enabling me to move to the next level of my career.

I passed the test [the Series 65] with flying colors. Your study material, particularly the book and the online exams were the difference maker. Other individuals in my firm used exam prep courses from other companies and unfortunately did not pass the exam. I am confident in saying that these materials were the difference maker. Thank you for creating such a great product. Everyone in my firm will use your simulators going forward.

I did so many practice exams with Solomon and never saw one question twice. The quality of study material is thorough, with a touch of humor, and gives it to you in many formats (visual both on the computer or in book format if you wish), as well as audio that you can listen to in the car, as well as the benefit of videos of actual lectures from professors. I felt as though getting the information in all those formats allowed me to really grasp the information using different senses and facilitated the learning process even further.

I used Solomon to prep for my Series 65 exam. I was extremely impressed with how prepared I was for the actual exam! After reviewing the chapter material and taking 7-10 quizzes for each chapter, I was scoring around a 75 average on the practice exams, I wasn't sure that would be enough to pass. However, on exam day I felt extremely confident with the material, and I passed the 65 on my first attempt with about 45 minutes to spare. Extremely satisfied with how Solomon teaches the material to truly make it stick, and also with the progress statistics that they show you, so you know what to work on. I would 100% recommend it to anyone trying to pass their Series exams!

I just passed my Series 65 exam yesterday!! Your study material was awesome! Unfortunately, they only provided pass/fail and no specific grade because I wanted to know how well I did. Thanks so much!
