Completing
the SIE was a requirement for my current position. I looked around at different
materials and started with Kaplan. The material was dry and seemed to have many
errors in it. I decided to scrap that and move on to Solomon Exam Prep which I
learned about from Reddit. The reviews were outstanding so I decided to give it
a try. After going through the material once I felt beyond confident to take
the exam. The study guide, audio book, exam simulator, and videos were
extremely well done. After two weeks of reviewing and acing practice tests, I
took my actual SIE exams and flew through it with about 1/3 of the time remaining
when I finished. The preparation from Solomon Exam Prep helped me gain the
confidence and understanding I needed to pass the exam on the first try!

I studied for both the SIE and the Series 99 with Solomon. Both texts more than prepared me for the exam. The practice questions in particular were extremely helpful and were even a bit more challenging than the actual exams. After reading and annotating both textbooks twice and taking each quiz multiple times to the point that I received high scores on each, I was confident taking the exam. Although there were a few questions here and there on the exams that seemed to be outside the scope of the material and had some differently worded questions, the quiz questions were quite in line with the actual exam. I passed both exams my first try. I highly recommend Solomon study material.

Solomon has been hugely helpful to me. In 2022,
they helped me prepare for the SIE, Series 63, and Series 79 exams, and I
passed all 3 on the first try. I give huge credit to their focused materials
and suggested timelines for keeping me on track!

After a lengthy absence from the securities industry, I again needed to get licensed. With the great help of Solomon, I did the SIE, Series 7, Series 63, and Series 82, in just over 5 months. The materials are comprehensive and I would recommend reading it all at least twice. Have realistic goals and meet them. Don't take too many days off as the quicker you learn the material the less likely your are to forget the initial stuff. I found the "Ask the Professor" feature to be particularly helpful (and responsive!). I hope I don't need further exams any time soon but, if I do, I will use Solomon.

Just Passed the SIE! I started with the Kaplan study guide -read 3 chapters and fell asleep. I searched online for exam simulators like the ones I used for my IT certifications and came across the Solomon Exam Simulator. I started taking the chapter test over and over, some as much as 15 times. I spent a month of total study time and took the practice 85 question SIE exam 4 times with an average 58% score. I also took the FINRA practice exam 2 times. The results charts gave great insight on well I was master each subject. I used them day. I will tell you that the Solomon practice questions were a lot harder then the real exam. I think that made the difference. I took me just under an hour to complete the test. On the the Series 57- too bad Solomon does not have an exam simulator for that one.
