What are people saying?
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.

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!

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.

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.

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

At Phillips & Co., my job was to hire entry level applicants
who could successfully pass the Series 65 and Series 7 examinations in three
months and do it the FIRST TIME. After trying Kaplan/Dearborn, STC, and even
the Series 7 for Dummies, 85% of our applicants were still having a hard time
passing.
One day while expressing my frustration to a
colleague, he recommended I look up First Books' Exam Prep. I could tell
immediately that this was a unique approach worth the investment. Since we
implemented Exam Prep with new recruits our pass rate shot up to well over 90%.
If you or your employees want to pass your
exam the first time without falling asleep while studying, I highly recommend
you give their training program a try!
