Taken from our Series 66 Online Guide

Unauthorized Principal Transactions

While broker-dealers regularly sell their customers securities from their own inventory of securities (known as acting as a “principal”), it is far less common for an investment adviser to do the same thing. Since an investment adviser is not registered as a “dealer,” and recommending the purchase of securities out of his own inventory presents a conflict of interest, an investment adviser who engages in principal transactions must do the

I passed my 66 today - thank you Solomon for the assistance and materials. It was incredibly difficult! I wish I had watched the videos even more.

Thank you so much for your great study materials! I have used Kaplan in the past and this is so much better! I used your study materials to get an 84% on my Series 7 and an 85% on my Series 66! Keep up the good work!

The Pass the 66 book/audio series, as well as the timely responses I received from the professor, all led to my success in passing the Series 66. This is a test that must be taken seriously, and does just that.

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Having the audio, video lectures (with the printable power-point!) and exam simulator in addition to the book really engages you in the material. It becomes a game! I passed the 66 with an 84%.

I just passed the Series 66 exam and found that the Solomon Exam Prep materials are the way to go when preparing for this exam. The advice given from the get-go is spot on; if you think you can cram for this course, forget it. Use the materials as advised and you'll do well. The format of the practice exams closely simulate the way the questions are presented on the test itself. I had 2 prep materials, Solomon's and another and I honestly believe Solomon's was the one that helped the most.

So, on this exam [Series 66] I used both your material and Kaplan. mainly because the bank had already paid for kaplan and I had grown accustom to your laid back writing style along with a great mp3 version of the book. Anyway, I got a fair amount of questions from both the kaplan material and your material before taking the test. I have to say that your material matched more closely to the test than I ever would have expected. I will be coming back to Solomon exam prep for ALL of my exam prep needs. :-) Thanks!
