I successfully passed the series 66 test yesterday! I could honestly say it was one of the happiest days of my life! I want to personally thank the excellent staff at Solomon exam prep! They are so knowledgeable and when I asked questions, they always went over the top with explanations and even sometimes creating charts for me to break down the concept. I felt really well served by this group. If you are looking for a company to help you succeed, you have found it Within Solomon exam prep team!

Very excited to pass the Series 66! The Solomon practice exams were very helpful to understand the concepts and fundamentals of the questions. I would highly recommend Solomon Exam Prep for all FINRA exams. Make sure to have a good grasp on agent registration and suitability when taking the 66. Thank you Solomon!

Your Pass the 7 and Pass the 66 training manuals were really well written and the generous dose of sarcasm was excellent. I would recommend your materials to anyone who needs to take these exams.

I passed my 66 with an 83%. The main method of studying was the mp3 that I downloaded and listened to on my commute to and from work. The audio book was the reason I did well. Thanks!

Eric Dicken, BB&T Investments, Winterville, NC

I used Solomon Exam Prep for both the Series 7 and the 66 which I took within a couple of months of each other. I smoked both tests with an 85% and an 88%. Well above the passing score. The books have just enough humor to keep things interesting and the practice tests and quizzes are phenomenal. If you want to get the most out of these programs pound out as many practice test as you can.
