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.

Thank you Solomon, 87% on the series 65. I thought I was nervous showing up to the exam, but the material was well above par.
thanks again
Matt Callahan
I thought the study material from Solomon Exam Prep was
great. It helped me focus on the sections where I needed to study the
most. I passed with an 81% on my first try for the Series 65 exam.
I would definitely use Solomon Exam Prep again if I need to get any more
licenses.

I truly wish I had tried Solomon Exam Prep earlier! Started studying for the Series 65 exam with a different company and missed passing the test by 4 questions. I was pretty disappointed because my study materials, especially the quiz generator, weren't a great reflection of what the test would actually be like. But Solomon's Exam Simulator was the KEY to passing my second go-around! Questions were very similar to the actual exam and I managed to boost my score by 10% from the first time, only using the Solomon materials for less than a week! HIGHLY recommend this to anyone in need of 65 materials!

I just passed the Series 65 exam – thanks, Jeremy! Your excellent and enjoyable book and challenging practice exams-and-quizzes were my only resources. This exam kicked my butt, but I was able to accomplish the only essential task – simply "to pass" – because of the thoroughness (and the plain English and occasional humor) of these two essential test prep materials. Here's my warning -- don't underestimate the difficulty of this exam! I highly recommend that fellow Series 65'ers keep taking the practice exams and quizzes until they can comfortably get a score of 80+ before scheduling their exam; you need to go into the exam room with the confidence that this crucial simulated test-taking experience will provide. I'm so grateful for your help!

I passed the exam (Series 65) on the first try only using your study prep. Worked great for me!

Within a few months, I passed the SIE, Series 7, 63, 65, & 79 exams all on the first try using Solomon Exam Prep. This material will prepare you for the actual exam. I will say in many instances the practice exams are more difficult than the actual exam. Solomon and the various tracking metrics will more than help you prepare for the rigors of exam day. I highly recommend the practice exams and ability to dive back in to review weak areas. I will continue to use their products and services in the future.
