Treasury Notes and Bonds
Treasury notes are coupon bonds having a maturity ranging from 2 to 10 years. They are issued in denominations of $100 to $5 million and pay interest semiannually. Treasury notes are non-callable, guaranteeing the holder the stated yield to maturity.
Treasury bonds are coupon securities having maturities from 10 to 30 years. They are issued in denominations that range from $100 to $5 million and pay interest semiannually. Unlike Treasury notes, Treasury bonds may have a call feature. Prior to 1985 the Treasury issued bonds with a 5- or 10-year call feature, and while it has not done so since, it is not precluded from doing so in the future.
The 30-year bond is often called the “long bond” by traders, because it has the longest maturity of government bonds. It serves as a benchmark of long-term financing in the U.S. and an indicator of the direction of interest rates.

The Solomon Series 66 prep material was very comprehensive and practice quizzes and exams helped a great deal to gauge my likelihood of passing the exam

I actually took the test (Series 66) in November and passed! I purchased the book and bought access to the online tests and found both invaluable. The book provided a good basis for knowledge, and taking the tests over and over gave me the logic of what the test writers were seeking.

Solomon Exam Prep materials are head and shoulders above any other company's products. I have purchased several other companies' materials and found that when it came time to take the crucial step of practice exams, every other company's answer explanations simply were too brief to be truly educational, or worse, sometimes contradictory to the text. That is when I turned to Solomon Exam Prep. After purchasing their materials, an actual team member emailed me almost every other day to ask how I was doing with my studying and offered assistance if I had questions. With this kind of support, you aren't trying to climb the mountain of becoming licensed alone! Finally, the owner also contacted me several times to thank me for my purchase and to check on my progress. There is no other company out there doing business in this exemplary way. Please be kind to yourself and START with Solomon Exam Prep materials for the BEST of success!

I sat for the Series 66 on March 16th. I got an 85. I give all kudos to Solomon. The study materials were excellent.

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.
