T-Notes and Bond Quotations
Like corporate bonds, Treasury notes and bonds are quoted in the secondary market on a price basis where one point equals one percent of par. Unlike corporate bonds, which are quoted in eighths of a percent, government securities are split into units of 32nds . A price quote of 98-11 refers to a price of 98 11 /32 % of par value, or 98.34375% of par. If the Treasury bond had a par value of $1,000, then the bond would sell for $983.44.
A price of 103-08 refers to a price of 103 8 /32 % of par, or 103.25% of par. If the Treasury bond had a par value of $1,000, it would sell for $1,032.50.

Thank you so much Solomon Exam Prep. I took the SIE exam today and passed it the first try. Couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you again.

I passed first try on the SIE. Thanks to Solomon! The exam simulator is super helpful for prepping for test day.

Just Passed the SIE! I started with the Kaplan study guide -read 3 chapters and fell asleep. I searched online for exam simulators like the ones I used for my IT certifications and came across the Solomon Exam Simulator. I started taking the chapter test over and over, some as much as 15 times. I spent a month of total study time and took the practice 85 question SIE exam 4 times with an average 58% score. I also took the FINRA practice exam 2 times. The results charts gave great insight on well I was master each subject. I used them day. I will tell you that the Solomon practice questions were a lot harder then the real exam. I think that made the difference. I took me just under an hour to complete the test. On the the Series 57- too bad Solomon does not have an exam simulator for that one.

I only used the exam simulator and it was the best decision I made! I read a different textbook and used Solomon solely for test prep questions. I promise you the $70 or so this cost is 100% worth it. Every question that I got on my exam (May 2020) was related to all the questions asked in the Solomon exam simulator. If you are willing to put in the work and take all of the chapter quizzes and then take 5 each of the time/not timed exams you will pass. Another good thing is that you can download their app and take exams on your phone - I found this very useful when I didn't want to always be on my laptop all day.

Passed the SIE on the first try. Solomon Exam Prep is definitely the way to go. Just follow your study guide. The practice exams are where Solomon truly shines. I will certainly be using Solomon for the Series 7.

Solomon Exam Prep helped me pass the Series SIE, 63, 65 and 7 exams. The study materials are easy to understand and practice exams were very helpful, especially with the passing probability to gauge my exam readiness. The instructor for all web classes were really worth it as I could get directly answers for my questions. I couldn't have pass these exams without Solomon's help. Thank you!
