Taken from our Series 51 Online Guide

Municipal Advisors

In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act required municipal advisors to be registered with the SEC. The term municipal advisor was defined in the Act to address concerns that the advisors of municipalities were providing important public financing advice without any oversight. Now municipal advisors are subject to many of the same rules as municipal securities dealers.

I just passed the S51 with an 86%. I want to express my sincere thanks to Solomon. I love the way you structure your practice exams. I always enjoy receiving speedy responses from Ask the Professor, especially from Karen. Karen, thank you for all your help, you are the best!!!!!!!

I loved the online testing for the Series 51! I felt like the questions were trickier so it really prepared me for the real exam.

Using Solomon was very helpful. The exam simulator tests were great, but I should have spent a little more time re-reading the chapters. Passed (Series 51) on my first try.

I just took and passed the Series 51 in one attempt. The Solomon materials were excellent. The Solomon simulated tests were very beneficial and were very similar to the actual 51 test. Thanks to Solomon I was well prepared to succeed. When I was taking the actual 51 exam, I did not encounter any surprises that I was not prepared for. Solomon seems to have it very well covered. My method for success? I read the book chapter by chapter, taking the chapter practice tests along the way. I saved the questions I missed for review later. I then went through the book a second time using the same method. After reviewing the questions I had missed on the smaller exams, I started taking the timed simulation for the test. Again, I reviewed the questions I got wrong, making sure I understood the reason for getting it wrong and what the right answer should be. I did this review of missed questions every time I took the simulated exam. I took the simulated exam five or six times, getting scores in the low 80s. This method prepared me to take the real test which I passed on my first attempt. I highly recommend both Solomon and this study method for taking the 51. Good luck all future test takers!!!!
