Last August 2020 I passed the Series 28 on the first try using your materials. I just wanted to drop in and let you know I passed the Series 27 exam today!! I am so happy today as I took the test in Jan of this year and missed it by 3 points. I switched up my focus and really zoned in the most heavily weighted chapters. This is by far the hardest exam I have taken. Thank you Solomon for your excellent study materials. I'll be back when I pass the next one ;)

I passed my 27 and I can't thank you enough for the preparation materials, most importantly the Final Exams. I studied for weeks for this test and buckled down the last two weeks of 6 hour study days. It's a great feeling and I couldn't have done it without you!!!

Just passed the Series 26! As a new mom, I relied heavily on the Audiobooks and being able to read or test on my iPad whenever I could. The material was accurate and I felt well-prepared after following the suggested study schedule.

Thanks to the Solomon 79 exam class and online simulator I passed the 79! Your materials beat the competitors hands-down.

Questions from the exam simulator were pretty similar to the actual series 52 exam, and I felt prepared with the study guide. I will be purchasing the series 53 study materials from Solomon in the near future.

I passed the series 22! Solomon's study materials and exams were the key to my preparation. I tried other companies first, and I knew something was off. After taking the FINRA exam, I know I would have failed if not for Solomon. I cannot overstate this. This test was difficult and foreign. Solomon helped me learn everything I needed to pass the series 22. Many thanks!
