SIE: Layering

Excellent! The Solomon curriculum prepared me well enough to make me feel comfortable during the actual exam. Practice questions and mock exams were challenging enough to test my knowledge but not too challenging to the point where I was discouraged.

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 took the SIE with Solomon Exam Prep and I have to say; the layout of the topics, the practice questions and the explanations of each subject matter is wonderful. They make it clear to follow and understand what the concepts are. Going back to re-try my Series 7 with them instead of my other book.

I studied for both the SIE and the Series 99 with Solomon. Both texts more than prepared me for the exam. The practice questions in particular were extremely helpful and were even a bit more challenging than the actual exams. After reading and annotating both textbooks twice and taking each quiz multiple times to the point that I received high scores on each, I was confident taking the exam. Although there were a few questions here and there on the exams that seemed to be outside the scope of the material and had some differently worded questions, the quiz questions were quite in line with the actual exam. I passed both exams my first try. I highly recommend Solomon study material.

The vocabulary on the test was slightly different, (they used the word tendered a lot) and so navigating the different financial vocabulary was a minor challenge. That being said, I felt comfortable in my knowledge and was able to break down and understand a large majority of the exam because of Solomon Exam Prep. I passed and felt confident!
I am so happy with Solomon! So far, I've passed the SIE and Series 7 exam because I used their program to study. I am currently using their program to study for the Series 66 now. The practice exams are invaluable and are the best way to learn! I would give 10/5 stars.

Passed SIE on the first attempt! The multi-prong study approach Solomon puts together - read, take notes, watch videos, practice tests, review - is very effective. By the time I had worked through the plan and used the reports to bolster my weak areas, I walked into the test center with high confidence. It took a lot of time and was hard work, but the test plan and materials made it possible.
