Thank you...thank you. I took my Series 7 yesterday and passed....1st try. Read the whole book 3 times. My system was to go through and answer the questions I was positive about. Good guess at the others and park them for review. The hardest part is trying to understand what they are actually asking. This way I wasn’t bogged down and stressed being stuck on a question. Second time around go through all those parked questions...digging deeper...checking my calculations etc. again parking the ones that totally stumped me. Third time around....educated guesses and what seemed to make sense. Also, on my way there, I was picturing myself in the room....sitting at the computer (yes, I took a dry run to see the inside). It took that part of the unknown out of the equation. Be prepared for the masks and Covid precautions. Any options questions, as tricky as they make them, I would look at my charts and was able to make sense of what they were asking. Finished the test in record time. Being prepared gave me the confidence to get through it. Many thanks Lorraine

A more recent update after taking my Series 7 exam: Within one year of joining the financial industry, Solomon materials have gotten me a 100%, 4 for 4 pass rate with the SIE, S6, 63 and S7 all completed within 10 months. Once again, the materials and practice tests prepared me for the S7 exam better than I could've imagined. I will continue to refer people to Solomon, as the material, customer service, and whole experience has been unmatched.

Completing the Series 7 was a requirement for my current position. After seeing the material and dedication Solomon Exam Prep put into the SIE material, I knew Solomon’s material would be perfect for me again. I had access to STC material and tried to go through it first but it was too content heavy and at certain points, very confusing. I decided to move back over to Solomon for the 7 and was blown away yet again by how great the material is. Solomon has figured out how to properly prepare people for this exam in my opinion. Solomon Exam Prep focuses on teaching the concept rather than bogging you down with so much material. THAT IS SO HELPFUL! Of course the material is important but it’s extensive. After using Solomon Exam Prep for the Series 7, I was able to fully understand the concepts which made it so much easier to select the best questions on the exams. All the other training programs bury you deep with content, which makes it almost impossible to understand the concepts. If you get questions on the exam that you have not seen before, only knowing specific material will not help you. But if you understand the concepts (like Solomon Exam Prep helped me do) you can break down the question and find the best answer based on your understanding of the concept as a whole. That’s a much better method and Solomon Exam Prep has figured this out! I strongly suggest buying the study guide. You won’t regret it!

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!

I passed the S7 TO first time it was introduced from last year. I have used several books and none of them could be as complete as this one. I am a living witness to the completeness of your course material. If that was not the case, I would not have passed this very difficult exam. I owe my success to your exam materials and no other book, from those I know have come close. I am going to study for the Series 66 through Solomon Exam Prep. If this can help me through, then I am sure many more people would also succeed.

Just passed the Series 7 on the first attempt! Many questions on the FINRA exam forced me to consider scenarios from a different perspective, and the conceptual understanding the Solomon materials and study plan facilitated allowed me to apply my knowledge appropriately. If I need another license in the future, I'll rely on Solomon to help me prepare.
