Testimonials The Pass the 66 book/audio series, as well as the timely responses I received from the professor, all led to my success in passing the Series 66. This is a test that must be taken seriously, and Solomon Exam Prep does just that. Jeremy, I wanted to thank you for your help several weeks ago. The practice questions were very helpful. I passed the exam (series 65) on the first try with a solid score. Your Series 63 audio book was awesome! My company gave me a class and a textbook but it was boring, so I bought your audio book and, honestly, it helped me pass the test the first time. Now I have to take the Series 6 and I am going to get your Series 6 audio book and also the Solomon Exam Prep Series 6 iPhone app to practice on my iPod Touch. Thank you so much. |
