Consolidated Tape
When an exchange-listed equity security is traded, it is reported on the Consolidated Tape. It is called the “consolidated” tape, because it consolidates trade information of listed securities from every exchange in the country. The place where the trade took place is not indicated on the tape.
Trades on the floor of the exchange must be reported within 30 seconds of execution. The tape continually displays last transaction information in the following manner:
Number of round lots
Ticker symbol
Price of the transaction
For example: 20s WMT 54.08 would mean the last transaction was 2000 shares of Walmart sold for $54.08 per share.
When there is no number ahead of the ticker symbol, you can assume that a round lot of 100 shares was sold. Trades over 10,000 shares and stocks trading at a price greater than $175 show the number of shares, not the number of round lots.

Finally! Having used the study material provided by my firm, I couldn't get over the passing level. Came out of pocket for Solomon, and passed [the Series 24] on the first effort - Thank you!

I passed the S24 today with a score of 80. Your study guide is great!!!

Even though there is no such
thing as a guaranteed success in the securities industry, there is a likelihood
of strong returns if you are able to make the right risk / reward choices at
the right time.
If you are taking a test one
of those choices is Solomon materials. Just follow their guidance. It worked
for me, 3 times in a row, 7, 63, 24!

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

I passed my Series 24 today with an 80% thanks to Solomon Test Prep! I found the most benefit from using the practice exams as a learning tool, reading each answer explanation as I went along, regardless of a(n) correct/incorrect response. I found that for this exam, understanding the concepts is equally as important as memorization! Good luck!

I passed the 24 with the help of the audio, book and test questions. I previously took this test and failed walking away with the thought nothing I studied looked familiar. I also didn't really understand how certain areas functioned... but found the information provided with Solomon worked best for me. The flow charts and extra resources section were extremely helpful in breaking down sections of this "Dry" test. The audio was great to review and the book format was easy to read and concise. I felt almost every question I knew what they were asking and I was able to eliminate one or two questions. Don't waste your money with other sites. Solomon will allow you to pass on the first time. Good luck!
