Used Solomon for my second & third time. First time I used a different company & day of test, I had no idea what I was reading. Second time, I bought Solomon a little too close to my test date, failed but had a higher score. Third Time, used strictly Solomon & passed! Cant thank Solomon enough, will recommend to everyone!

Solomon is the BEST!!! Passed the Series 7 on the first try. The lessons are videos and lessons are good. The practice exams are EXCELLENT. Focus on options and muni's. Load up on practice exams and you will be fine. Thank you Solomon!!!

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.

I would not have passed the Series 7 top off without the Solomon materials. The structure of the questions was the closest out of all the programs I tried and their customer support is top notch. I will definitely be back! Thank you!!

In preparation for the Series 7, I began with Kaplan. I tested and did not pass. I then switched to STC materials. I tested and did not pass. I then switched to Solomon and passed! I also used Solomon for the 63 and passed the first time. I highly recommend Solomon's test preparation materials. The question bank was far more extensive than the others and I definitely felt better prepared using Solomon.

Within a few months, I passed the SIE, Series 7, 63, 65, & 79 exams all on the first try using Solomon Exam Prep. This material will prepare you for the actual exam. I will say in many instances the practice exams are more difficult than the actual exam. Solomon and the various tracking metrics will more than help you prepare for the rigors of exam day. I highly recommend the practice exams and ability to dive back in to review weak areas. I will continue to use their products and services in the future.
