TESTIMONIALS

For the Series 99 I bought and studied the STC and the Kaplan study manuals and test banks but I pattern matching questions versus fundamentally understanding the content. I stumbled upon the Solomon test bank during a Google search and I am glad that I did. The Solomon test bank went into a lot more detail in the answers which allowed me to better understand the actual content versus just pattern recognition in the questions. Some have said that the Solomon test bank is harder than the test which I think may be true but learning the content at this level of detail is how I was able to feel confident walking in and walking out with a pass on the first attempt.

I passed my exam! The Solomon practice tests were equal or hard than the Series 99 questions which helped me crush it! Solomon was a 10/10 experience and I will definitely recommend it to any friends and work peers. It was lifechanging.

I studied for both the SIE and the Series 99 with Solomon. Both texts more than prepared me for the exam. The practice questions in particular were extremely helpful and were even a bit more challenging than the actual exams. After reading and annotating both textbooks twice and taking each quiz multiple times to the point that I received high scores on each, I was confident taking the exam. Although there were a few questions here and there on the exams that seemed to be outside the scope of the material and had some differently worded questions, the quiz questions were quite in line with the actual exam. I passed both exams my first try. I highly recommend Solomon study material.

For the Series 6 exam, I used the Solomon 4-week study schedule. I really didn't do anything special, I just stuck to the study schedule each day. I used the app on my phone quite a bit for convenience.

The Solomon Live Class was timed perfectly one week prior to my exam, so it turned out to be somewhat of a review session, which is what I had hoped it would be. The concepts covered in the Live Class were helpful because McCallister broke them down into plain English and real-world examples.

The one place I varied from the study schedule was in the number of times I took the Exam Simulator. I took the Exam Simulator Practice Test 36 times and monitored my Pass Probability. Once I had my Pass Probability at 90%, I felt I was ready.

I failed the Series 52 twice and thought my troubles were with retention, but they were with the practice. I used a competitor's materials and it lacked depth and above all else it lacked a large test bank of questions. With Solomon, I went from feeling unable to fully assess all of the answers on the actual exam, to knowing why an answer was right AS WELL AS knowing why the other 3 answers were wrong. This is an underappreciated aspect of test taking that was only achieved through repetition of different questions. Solomon's large test bank was invaluable and the ability to take practice exams with only the questions you previously got wrong is a fantastic addition.

I took the test yesterday and passed! I think I started your program on Monday. I have 15 years of banking experience but needed to retake exams as they lapsed between out of industry jobs. Despite the experience, all of the specifics around the number days you have pre and post certain events for a filing etc. needed to be refreshed.

The unlimited question data bank was exactly what I was looking for and the searchable online guide was a bonus. As I was preparing, the online module allowed me to both understand why a particular answer was incorrect and then quickly cross reference the course material to ensure I understood other nuances as well around the subject matter.

I have made a recommendation to our compliance team to use Solomon and will to others as well.
