Series 7: 5.6. Options Accounts

Thank you so much for your great study materials! I have used you to pass my Series 6, 63 and most recently my Series 7 all on the first try. The practice exams and video lectures were great and extremely helpful. Will definitely be using your study material for any future exams and will recommend you to other people

Thank you so much Solomon Prep for helping me to be able to successfully pass all three of my exams (SIE, Series 7 and Series 66) in a relatively short period of time. The exam packages were excellent! I will continue to refer people to your amazing program!

Dear Solomon Team, Happy to inform you that I took and passed the Series 7 this past Tuesday. I was not able to prepare as much as I had planned, and would not recommend someone taking the exam at the point I was at in my preparation, but the circumstances demanded it and it worked out. The depth and breadth of material I was able to cover with Solomon obviously played no small part. I am deeply grateful for your partnership for both the SIE and the 7 top-off as I transition from law practice into an RIA compliance role. This has been a big change and your materials and support have been indispensable. I want to particularly note that your audiobook feature is a key distinguishing factor for me. It undoubtedly helped me absorb the material and is an ideal complement to material that is presented in such a way as to benefit those of us who need to learn the “why’s” in the material and not just a series of independently-existing spontaneously-combusted facts. I’m sure both methods work for exam takers, but Solomon excels in the former. Also, as a dad to a half-dozen crew and an auditory learner, an audiobook format helps when your geographic coordinates at the start of a lesson are not the same as those at the end. Thanks again to everyone at Solomon!

Thank you...thank you. I took my Series 7 yesterday and passed....1st try. Read the whole book 3 times. My system was to go through and answer the questions I was positive about. Good guess at the others and park them for review. The hardest part is trying to understand what they are actually asking. This way I wasn’t bogged down and stressed being stuck on a question. Second time around go through all those parked questions...digging deeper...checking my calculations etc. again parking the ones that totally stumped me. Third time around....educated guesses and what seemed to make sense. Also, on my way there, I was picturing myself in the room....sitting at the computer (yes, I took a dry run to see the inside). It took that part of the unknown out of the equation. Be prepared for the masks and Covid precautions. Any options questions, as tricky as they make them, I would look at my charts and was able to make sense of what they were asking. Finished the test in record time. Being prepared gave me the confidence to get through it. Many thanks Lorraine

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.

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!
