Series 65: Broker

I have used other providers in the past for the 62 and decided to try something new this time due to passing that by a thin margin out of luck. I passed the 65 first try with an 88% all thanks to Solomon Exam Prep and its effective 5-week program. The book is thorough and easy to follow and the endless question bank with detailed explanations ensures that you will never see a repeat and never have to worry about question memorization (which is CRITICAL when you are assessing how ready you are based off of practice tests). The quizzes and exams require a deeper level of understanding, unlike other providers that test you with elementary questions only to leave the actual exam to feel unpleasantly difficult. The practice quizzes provide a very convenient way to focus on your weak areas and the full simulation exams feel very much like the actual test and in my experience, made the real exam seem surprisingly easy. The practice questions also reinforce important test taking skills and taught me to approach questions in a more disciplined way than before. Finally, I gave the “ask the professor” function a try and they are VERY responsive and clearly have a passion for seeing their clients succeed. I couldn’t be happier with this program and even though you might hear about the other test prep companies more often, Solomon IS the most effective.

I used Solomon to prep for my Series 65 exam. I was extremely impressed with how prepared I was for the actual exam! After reviewing the chapter material and taking 7-10 quizzes for each chapter, I was scoring around a 75 average on the practice exams, I wasn't sure that would be enough to pass. However, on exam day I felt extremely confident with the material, and I passed the 65 on my first attempt with about 45 minutes to spare. Extremely satisfied with how Solomon teaches the material to truly make it stick, and also with the progress statistics that they show you, so you know what to work on. I would 100% recommend it to anyone trying to pass their Series exams!

I just passed the Series 65 exam – thanks, Jeremy! Your excellent and enjoyable book and challenging practice exams-and-quizzes were my only resources. This exam kicked my butt, but I was able to accomplish the only essential task – simply "to pass" – because of the thoroughness (and the plain English and occasional humor) of these two essential test prep materials. Here's my warning -- don't underestimate the difficulty of this exam! I highly recommend that fellow Series 65'ers keep taking the practice exams and quizzes until they can comfortably get a score of 80+ before scheduling their exam; you need to go into the exam room with the confidence that this crucial simulated test-taking experience will provide. I'm so grateful for your help!

I thought the study material from Solomon Exam Prep was great. It helped me focus on the sections where I needed to study the most. I passed with an 81% on my first try for the Series 65 exam. I would definitely use Solomon Exam Prep again if I need to get any more licenses.
