I would heartily recommend Solomon for anyone studying for the Series 3. The materials are comprehensive, the bank of questions vast and the responsiveness to questions incredibly impressive and detailed. I passed first time and that in no small part is down to Solomon.

I initially studied using a different exam prep course (The Securities Institute of America). I waited until I consistently passed the practice exams with a score over 90% before I took the actual exam and unfortunately I failed the exam on my first attempt. I discovered and purchased the Solomon Exam Prep and immediately noticed the studying material was more in depth. I waited until my practice exam score was consistently over 85% and I went to take the actual exam and passed. Thank you so much!! (Series 3)

Great service, practice questions and mock exams were the key to passing. (Series 3)

I had a super rough go passing this (Series 7) exam due to a number of personal circumstances, but on my third attempt, I finally passed, with 30 minutes to spare! After my second failed attempt (I failed by ONE question), I spoke to Jeremy Solomon on the phone and via email, and he provided me with some strategies to help me pass the exam once and for all. I focused heavily on rereading the study guide, and teaching concepts to my spouse so that I wasn’t just learning the information, but really understanding it to the point where I could teach it to someone else. The exam simulators are super helpful, but don’t overdo it… this really isn’t the kind of test where you can only learn by doing practice questions. Re-watching the video lectures was very helpful for me as well. I also recommend making flash cards for memorization purposes. If you fail like me, don’t give up - perseverance (and more studying) will get you to the finish line!

I passed my Series 99 this past week on my first attempt. I had no previous brokerage and/or investment experience, just a background in finance.

I utilized the combination package with the textbook, video lectures, quiz simulator, and other materials. When I study for future FINRA exams I will utilize Solomon software and recommend it to my colleagues. I learn the most by listening and enjoyed the video lectures that had PowerPoint slides I could download and make notes on. The practice questions were fantastic at reinforcing the material and highlighting areas that I needed extra review on.

Solomon Exam Prep prepared me well with a large variety of questions on the practice exams. I was able to pass my SIE on my first attempt, onto the Series 7!
