Between September 18 and December 3, I took exams for the Series 62, 63, 6 and 24. I studied for everything with Solomon, and passed them all on the first try. Solomon’s interactive/Ask the Professor teaching method was extremely helpful in grasping the necessary concepts. What a relief to be done. Thanks, Karen!

Just wanted to say thank you and give you a good review. I actually found that your test questions were harder than the actual exam and the explanations and the ability to create tests of all of my wrong answers helped me focus on my weak areas of the exam. I passed the first time and don't believe I couldn't have done it without your test bank. Thanks again.

Thank you Solomon! I was able to pass the SIE, 7, 63 and 24 in a relatively short time period. The practice exams with answers really helped and when I had a question for The Professor, I always received a quick and accurate response. Solomon is definitely the way to go.

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.

I used Solomon to sit Series 24 and Series 79, passing with 81% and 88% respectively. Having looked at other material providers, Solomon stands out because of their prompt replies to student questions and the completeness of the answers provided – they are the best out there!

Chris Brice,CFA Bell Potter Cantley, Québec, Canada

I passed my Series 24 with two weeks of nearly full-time study, using the textbook, the online class, and the exam simulator. The textbook was very readable and helpful in providing complete explanations, as well as helpful memorization tips. The online class and pre-recorded sessions were crucial to get through all of the material and put it in relative context. It was helpful to be able to have questions answered instantly and via email afterward. The online simulator questions were just like the exam questions, and the immediate feedback function was essential for learning from the practice quizzes and exam. I needed every minute of my study and practice time to count, and Solomon Exam Prep made it possible. Thank you!
