I passed my 27 and I can't thank you enough for the preparation materials, most importantly the Final Exams. I studied for weeks for this test and buckled down the last two weeks of 6 hour study days. It's a great feeling and I couldn't have done it without you!!!

Last August 2020 I passed the Series 28 on the first try using your materials. I just wanted to drop in and let you know I passed the Series 27 exam today!! I am so happy today as I took the test in Jan of this year and missed it by 3 points. I switched up my focus and really zoned in the most heavily weighted chapters. This is by far the hardest exam I have taken. Thank you Solomon for your excellent study materials. I'll be back when I pass the next one ;)

The audio book was fantastic, and I passed the Series 65 on my first attempt. Thank you!

The Solomon Exam Prep Series helped me pass the Series 6 the first time. I used the 4 week time frame and it helped keep me on track to get the test completed when I wanted. I even received a phone call from Jeremy Solomon, the president of the company. He gave me pointers on how to study and prepare for the exam. I was also able to submit questions and get answers almost immediately. Thanks again.

I was well prepared from using Solomon. Such much so that I finished early enough to review the questions and my answers, and determine my estimated score. Thanks! Great platform. Highly recommend using Solomon.
