TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

I passed the Series 50 on the first attempt thanks to Solomon's materials. Although the questions on the exam were much more difficult and complex in structure and format than the Solomon practice exams, the study materials & practice exams did enforce the concepts that the actual exam was testing. Thank you Solomon!!!

Lisa Gesin, Gesin Consulting, Dallas, TX

I just passed the Series 50 exam! Yay! The Solomon Exam Prep materials are excellent. I utilized the guide book, on-line lecture, on-line course, on-line study guide and quizzes. The "Ask the Professor" feature was very helpful as well. I highly recommend their resources.

Lori Volz, Baker Tilly, Minneapolis, MN

Five decades in the muni business didn't guarantee I'd pass the Series 50 pilot exam. (Just knowing content doesn’t mean you are ready for the test.) Thankfully, my Solomon Exam Prep materials were fantastic at teaching complex subject matter in a way that made the answers clear, and I passed the test with ease.

If you plan to take the Series 50 exam, then I strongly recommend that you give yourself the edge that Solomon's study materials provide.

John Canney, Municipal Advisors Group Boston, MA

I prepared for the Series 50 (Municipal Advisor) exam using your materials and was extremely satisfied. Having the materials in multiple written and audio formats provided a lot of flexibility in where and when I could study. The scope of the Series 50 exam is so broad that even very experienced individuals would benefit by this type of preparatory course. I highly recommend this product.
