Taken from our Series 7 Online Guide

2.7.2. Yield Spread

Yield spread is the difference between a bond’s yield and some benchmark yield. The most common spread compares the yield of a bond against the yield of a U.S. Treasury security of a similar maturity.

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.

I found encouragement along the way from reading other people's testimonials, so payback is to write one of my own. Solomon is the gold standard for customer service. I passed the 66, SIE first tries -- received a 69% on the 7 (failed), but passed on the 2nd attempt. I'm in awe over the outreach I received from day 1 but especially from Jeremy on how to move forward after falling short on the Series 7 - followed his advice - one of which was to get the accompanying videos and passed. Watching/studying the Chapter 5 video had a big impact. I also printed the questions I got wrong that I particularly struggled with while taking the online exams, printed and/or turned them into flashcards, then taped many of them around the house. It forced me to constantly revisit the information and moved me past a superficial understanding. I'll take a messy-looking home for a short time than having to retake a 3 hour and 45 minute exam.

I would not have passed the Series 7 top off without the Solomon materials. The structure of the questions was the closest out of all the programs I tried and their customer support is top notch. I will definitely be back! Thank you!!

I passed first try! Three hours and forty-five minutes might seem like a long time, but it flew by. The Solomon Exam Prep conditioned me very well. Utilizing the chapter quizzes and practice exams really helped apply my learning, and also helped with time management. (Series 7)

Jeremy, I passed the Series 7 yesterday with an 87% using only your book and online practice tests. Thanks!

Aaron Johnson, Humble, TX

Just passed the series 7 today! Solomon was a huge help, as I used the practice exams exclusively. When preparing for this exam, make sure to allocate ~70% of your time on compliance, opening accounts etc. Looking forward to passing the series 66. I will continue using Solomon!
