What are people saying?
Feels so good to have
passed! (Series 7) It was about as challenging as I thought it would be and I'm glad the
study material prepared me for understanding the concepts, and not just
memorizing terms and formulas. Only changed two of the 15 answers for questions
I flagged for review and finished it with more than 90 minutes to spare. The
relief I felt upon seeing "Pass" was awesome!
Used Solomon materials for both the SIE and S7. So grateful to
these materials for helping me achieve a passing score on my first attempts of
both exams. The study guide and videos were thorough, comprehensive and easy to
follow. I found the pie charts extremely useful in helping me identify areas
where I needed more study, and was grateful for the Pass Probability feature in
giving me a bit of extra confidence before sitting for the exam. I would
absolutely recommend all of their materials to anyone taking this journey.

A more recent update after taking my Series 7 exam: Within one year of joining the financial industry, Solomon materials have gotten me a 100%, 4 for 4 pass rate with the SIE, S6, 63 and S7 all completed within 10 months. Once again, the materials and practice tests prepared me for the S7 exam better than I could've imagined. I will continue to refer people to Solomon, as the material, customer service, and whole experience has been unmatched.

Jeremy,
I passed the Series 7 yesterday with an 87% using only your book and online practice tests. Thanks!

I found Solomon Exam Prep from a general comment that probably came from someone who works for the company. It went along the lines, "Solomon Exam Prep also has study materials for the 7" (goes to show you that inbound marketing works)
I tried the STC program that most firms provide, mine included. Didn't like it, and many people on the forum that went that route mentioned they didn't feel adequately prepared for the real exam. In the STC program you can only take each quiz and practice exam 1 time.
Also tried Kaplan's cheap 2 test simulation package but despised the components of the simulation, the mark for review button didn't let me go back to review the test before submitting it, and it took forever to "save" my answers before moving on to the next question. It was just a badly developed program. It wasn't improving my scores nor did it help me to better understand the material.
I tried Solomon's out because it was comparable in price to Kaplan's exam simulation program but I hate Kaplan's simulator. solomon's had a larger question bank, and both provided unlimited tests which was my real requirement.
Loved Solomon's exam simulator program from the start, and the Finra Concept tests combined with the simulation exams is what really improved my score.
Solomon will be the only company I use to prepare for all exams I may have in the future and I highly recommend it. Solomon got a life-long repeat customer all because of a generic comment from a random forum.

Dear Solomon Team,
Happy to inform you that I took and passed the Series 7 this past Tuesday. I
was not able to prepare as much as I had planned, and would not recommend
someone taking the exam at the point I was at in my preparation, but the
circumstances demanded it and it worked out. The depth and breadth of material
I was able to cover with Solomon obviously played no small part. I am deeply
grateful for your partnership for both the SIE and the 7 top-off as I
transition from law practice into an RIA compliance role. This has been a big
change and your materials and support have been indispensable. I want to
particularly note that your audiobook feature is a key distinguishing factor
for me. It undoubtedly helped me absorb the material and is an ideal complement
to material that is presented in such a way as to benefit those of us who need
to learn the “why’s” in the material and not just a series of
independently-existing spontaneously-combusted facts. I’m sure both methods
work for exam takers, but Solomon excels in the former. Also, as a dad to a
half-dozen crew and an auditory learner, an audiobook format helps when your
geographic coordinates at the start of a lesson are not the same as those at
the end. Thanks again to everyone at Solomon!

I had a super rough go passing this (Series 7) exam due to a number of personal circumstances, but on my third attempt, I finally passed, with 30 minutes to spare! After my second failed attempt (I failed by ONE question), I spoke to Jeremy Solomon on the phone and via email, and he provided me with some strategies to help me pass the exam once and for all. I focused heavily on rereading the study guide, and teaching concepts to my spouse so that I wasn’t just learning the information, but really understanding it to the point where I could teach it to someone else. The exam simulators are super helpful, but don’t overdo it… this really isn’t the kind of test where you can only learn by doing practice questions. Re-watching the video lectures was very helpful for me as well. I also recommend making flash cards for memorization purposes. If you fail like me, don’t give up - perseverance (and more studying) will get you to the finish line!
