Testimonials I was struggling with my company's study material for the Series 6 exam. After hearing some positive feedback from fellow colleagues about Solomon Exam Prep's Series 6 iPhone app, I decided to purchased Solomon Exam Prep's Series 6 Online Exam Simulator. I am very happy with the results!! The online exam practice questions were structured very similar to the actual exam. After passing the Series 6 exam I decided to buy the same program from Solomon Exam Prep for the Series 63 exam. And the results were the same! I listened to the audio book 24/7 on my iPod wherever I went! It's kind of like subconscious learning. Even if you are sick and tired of studying you can still make yourself listen and something stays in your brain even when you are not trying too hard to remember! And a little bit of humor and sarcasm in the text - I loved it!!! It wakes you right up if you start to doze off a little after hours of studying! The book is written in a "down to earth" language easy to understand for a new person in this industry. And having Karen as a resource was very helpful as well! Whenever I had a question- I would shoot her an e-mail and get an answer with a detailed explanation within a day for sure (often sooner) even on the weekend! I am writing to thank you for all your help. I successfully passed the Series 6 yesterday. Your textbook was the most helpful of all the material I tried and trust me I've tried more than a few. Please keep up the good work and I will refer your books to everyone I know. Now on to Series 63 and yes, I have purchased your book. |
