TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
At Phillips & Co., my job was to hire entry level applicants
who could successfully pass the Series 65 and Series 7 examinations in three
months and do it the FIRST TIME. After trying Kaplan/Dearborn, STC, and even
the Series 7 for Dummies, 85% of our applicants were still having a hard time
passing.
One day while expressing my frustration to a
colleague, he recommended I look up First Books' Exam Prep. I could tell
immediately that this was a unique approach worth the investment. Since we
implemented Exam Prep with new recruits our pass rate shot up to well over 90%.
If you or your employees want to pass your
exam the first time without falling asleep while studying, I highly recommend
you give their training program a try!

I passed the S7 TO first time it was introduced from last year. I have used several books and none of them could be as complete as this one. I am a living witness to the completeness of your course material. If that was not the case, I would not have passed this very difficult exam. I owe my success to your exam materials and no other book, from those I know have come close. I am going to study for the Series 66 through Solomon Exam Prep. If this can help me through, then I am sure many more people would also succeed.

I found Solomon Exam Prep from a general comment that probably came from someone who works for the company. It went along the lines, "Solomon Exam Prep also has study materials for the 7" (goes to show you that inbound marketing works)
I tried the STC program that most firms provide, mine included. Didn't like it, and many people on the forum that went that route mentioned they didn't feel adequately prepared for the real exam. In the STC program you can only take each quiz and practice exam 1 time.
Also tried Kaplan's cheap 2 test simulation package but despised the components of the simulation, the mark for review button didn't let me go back to review the test before submitting it, and it took forever to "save" my answers before moving on to the next question. It was just a badly developed program. It wasn't improving my scores nor did it help me to better understand the material.
I tried Solomon's out because it was comparable in price to Kaplan's exam simulation program but I hate Kaplan's simulator. solomon's had a larger question bank, and both provided unlimited tests which was my real requirement.
Loved Solomon's exam simulator program from the start, and the Finra Concept tests combined with the simulation exams is what really improved my score.
Solomon will be the only company I use to prepare for all exams I may have in the future and I highly recommend it. Solomon got a life-long repeat customer all because of a generic comment from a random forum.

Thanks to Solomon I was able to pass the SIE, Series 7, and Series 63, great study material if you put the hours in!

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 first try!
Three hours and forty-five minutes might seem like a long time, but it flew by. The Solomon Exam Prep
conditioned me very well. Utilizing the chapter quizzes and practice exams
really helped apply my learning, and also helped with time management. (Series 7)
