Series 24: 5.3. NMS Vs. OTC Securities

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

5.3. NMS vs. OTC Securities

Another way to divide up the securities industry is by regulatory framework. The first framework is called the National Market System (NMS), and it was established by the Securities Acts Amendments of 1975. The goal of the NMS was to consolidate the trading rules across all the exchanges and to encourage competition among them. This legislation required that U.S. exchanges be linked together, which created both the consolidated tape and the Consolidated Quotation System. The legislation also eliminated fixed commissions. Within the NMS framework, securities listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, and the regional exchanges are defined as NMS securities. All trading of NMS securities is considered to be part of the NMS and subject to NMS regulations, even if they are traded over the counter.

I studied for the Series 24 for two and a half months. I thank God for his grace passed on the first attempt. The exam simulator is superb, it's projection of readiness to sit for an exam is spot on. All the feedback I received on how difficult the test was proved to be very helpful. As a result I over studied and followed the recommended study plan step by step which was key. Thanks again Jeremy and team, Solomon exam prep is the best ;)

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 study for the 26 and most recently the 24. The material is layered in way that makes it manageable to digest and the instructor response time and explanations are outstanding. I passed both on the first attempt!

Gus Velleco, Allstate, Charleston, SC

Studying for the 24 was not easy. I felt Solomon's course materials and online portal prepared me well for passing the exam in the first try. The study material was NOT overwhelmingly thrown together and I found the study program to be manageable and focused. Got me through the study period of about 4-5 weeks. I would recommend Solomon over the other courses.

I took my Series 24 on July 28 and passed!! I had not passed 2 prior Series 24 exams and was down to my last attempt. A fellow principal on my team who had not passed his Series 24 his first time told me about the Solomon practice tests and how they helped him. It was such a big help for me passing exam as the questions were structured more like the real exam than any other practice tests I’ve taken. I have since gone to other employees at my firm for other tests, such as the Series 7, SIE among others and have told them about the Solomon test materials and some of them are now purchasing Solomon as well.

Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.
