Series 65: Suitability

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!

Well, I finally was able to take my Series 65 and passed with an 85%. I think that the combination of your Series 65 text along with our other vendor made all the difference. It was good to have an additional reference for clarity and in some cases more detailed and straight forward discussion. Thank you for the materials.

I wanted to add my testimonial to the long list of successful test-takers. Passed my Series 65 today on the first try! The materials were well written and made the concepts easier to understand (especially to someone with no background in finance like myself). I was a big fan of the audio format as I have a long drive back and forth to work (other test prep providers did not have this option). The test simulators were also a huge help. Thanks to the folks at Solomon Prep!

The Series 65 was a tough exam, but thanks to Solomon I passed at the first attempt. The Solomon Exam Prep Course covered every single aspect in detail. The material was not only important to pass the exam, but it is extremely helpful in the job as investment adviser representative.

My oldest son purchased your Solomon audio exam guide to pass his Series 7, and I did the same for the Series 65 exam at his recommendation. Although I am 62 and have been out of college for forty(40) years, I passed my Series 65 exam on my first try. This would NOT have been possible without your excellent study materials. Thank you! for the service you provide to all aspiring test takers where so much is on the line!

Most Sincerely,

I am delighted to be able to tell you that I passed my Series 65 exam on my first attempt earlier today. Although I am an experienced adviser my work has previously all been in the UK and servicing UK Expats so have had no previous experience in the US or its regulatory framework. My only resource was the Solomon Exam Prep module for Series 65. It had everything I needed including prompt (super quick) responses to queries from real people. Even on a Sunday which I find incredible. A big thank you to you and the whole staff; I have recommended you to a number of people and will continue to do so; worth every penny.
