Broker-Dealer Suitability

Broker-dealers must believe on reasonable grounds that the transactions or strategies they recommend are suitable for an individual customer. Firms may approve an account only after conducting a suitability analysis, based on the firm’s due diligence in understanding the risks of the recommendations they make and the customer’s personal and investment profile.

The Series 66 Exam Prep offered by Solomon Exam Prep is exceptional. I used both the textbook and the exam simulator as my only study materials for the exam and passed with an 88. The Solomon material is written in a way which is easy to understand and digest. The exam simulator was excellent in preparing me with quizzes and full length practice tests to focus on my points on weakness and prepare me for the real thing! I would highly recommend both of these products to anyone!

After hearing horror stories about people struggling and in some cases failing the Series 66, after easily passing the series 7, I invested in both the Series 66 audio book and the Series 66 on-line tests. I passed my Series 66 exam with an 87%!

Karen and Team Solomon, thank you so much for all your support. Your Series 7 program was easy to understand. The "Ask the Professor" was invaluable for the Series 66. You are the program of choice for our office.

Jeremy and team, thank you for your excellent study materials and your availability to provide guidance and feedback as I was able to pass my Series 66 on the first try... The most telling confirmation your training materials are top notch... when I sat for my exam, once the test started and I read the first question, I instantly knew from my studies using the Solomon training, I was going to handle the test. Being able to sense this from the first question was more than comforting. Thank you again!

I sat for the Series 66 on March 16th. I got an 85. I give all kudos to Solomon. The study materials were excellent.

I used Solomon's Online Exam Simulator as a supplement to company provided materials for the Series 7 & 66, passing with scores of 86% & 88%. The online simulator made it easy to study on the go and provided peace of mind of preparedness walking in on test day. Highly recommended.
