PASSED SIE ON MY FIRST TRY!! Initially started with a competitor but I was referred to study through Solomon instead. After comparing the two, I stuck to Solomon for 6 weeks straight. The material and practice q’s gave me a better understanding and helped me prepare for the actual exam. Thank you!!

Super fast response time to emailed questions, clear explanations in the textbook and in the ungraded practice exams, and unlimited practice tests made Solomon a great resource for preparing for my SIE. Passed on first try!

I was able to learn, practice, and pass both my SIE and Series 6 Exams ahead of schedule, while running my agency. The information was complete and the practice questions were plentiful! I highly recommend Solomon and will continue to use them in the future!

Solomon exam prep materials are the best! I have passed the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 in less than 12 months using their materials. Their products are fantastic! The practice exams are excellent, and the probability calculator is spot on. I followed the provided customized study plan and took practice exams (over 20 lol) until my probability calculator was in the green (indicating a higher probability of passing) and the rest is history. There are no shortcuts. You must put in the work and stay disciplined, but the Solomon program WORKS and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone looking for amazing, comprehensive study materials to prepare for industry examinations.

I got my undergrad degree in musical theater, never having studied or practiced anything regarding securities. I've been working as an actor over the last 10 years, and figured the Covid-19 quarantine presented an opportunity to learn something new. Solomon took me from knowing NOTHING about securities to passing the SIE on the FIRST TRY! I finished in under an hour and felt extremely confident about the entire test. I read every chapter twice, watched all the video tutorials, listened to the audiobook while driving, and took a large amount of practice exams. Do this - and you will be over prepared - I promise. I will absolutely be using Solomon again for any top-off exams!

Wow!!! Well all I can say is that Solomon Test Prep not only helped me pass the SIE first time but ensured I felt confident about the test beforehand! I will say that the practice tests are definitely harder than the real thing so if your probability passing is over 70% you are good to go! Thanks Solomon!
