TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
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.

I passed the Securities Industry Essential (SIE) exam on my first try. Now, I am studying for the next license exam, the top off exam, Series 7. Thank you Solomon Exam Prep. I am glad I bought the 1) SIE Video Premium Study Package, 2) SIE Flashcards, and, especially, 3) the hard copy. I will probably buy the same for Series 63, 7 and probably no more than two more over the next three years.

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.

Super fast response time to emailed questions, clear explanations in the textbook and in the ungraded practice exams, and unlimited practice tests made Solomon a great resource for preparing for my SIE. Passed on first try!

I got my undergrad degree in musical theater, never having studied or practiced anything regarding securities. I've been working as an actor over the last 10 years, and figured the Covid-19 quarantine presented an opportunity to learn something new. Solomon took me from knowing NOTHING about securities to passing the SIE on the FIRST TRY! I finished in under an hour and felt extremely confident about the entire test. I read every chapter twice, watched all the video tutorials, listened to the audiobook while driving, and took a large amount of practice exams. Do this - and you will be over prepared - I promise. I will absolutely be using Solomon again for any top-off exams!

Soloman's practice exams are a powerful tool! Just passed SIE - will be looking to use their other content for the top-off exams very soon. Thank you!
