What are people saying?

Completing the SIE was a requirement for my current position. I looked around at different materials and started with Kaplan. The material was dry and seemed to have many errors in it. I decided to scrap that and move on to Solomon Exam Prep which I learned about from Reddit. The reviews were outstanding so I decided to give it a try. After going through the material once I felt beyond confident to take the exam. The study guide, audio book, exam simulator, and videos were extremely well done. After two weeks of reviewing and acing practice tests, I took my actual SIE exams and flew through it with about 1/3 of the time remaining when I finished. The preparation from Solomon Exam Prep helped me gain the confidence and understanding I needed to pass the exam on the first try!

I passed the SIE with the help of the practice exams from this course. The practice exams from this course seemed a bit needlessly difficult compared to the actual exam I took. While it prepared me well, it caused a lot of unnecessary stress. Don’t over do it on the practice exams.

Solomon's study materials and practice exam helped prepare me quickly and made me confident going into the SIE exam. I'm happy to have used their services and highly recommend their products for the SIE exam.

Just Passed the SIE! I started with the Kaplan study guide -read 3 chapters and fell asleep. I searched online for exam simulators like the ones I used for my IT certifications and came across the Solomon Exam Simulator. I started taking the chapter test over and over, some as much as 15 times. I spent a month of total study time and took the practice 85 question SIE exam 4 times with an average 58% score. I also took the FINRA practice exam 2 times. The results charts gave great insight on well I was master each subject. I used them day. I will tell you that the Solomon practice questions were a lot harder then the real exam. I think that made the difference. I took me just under an hour to complete the test. On the the Series 57- too bad Solomon does not have an exam simulator for that one.
