SIE: Brokered Long-term CD

Just Passed the SIE! I started with the Kaplan study guide -read 3 chapters and fell asleep. I searched online for exam simulators like the ones I used for my IT certifications and came across the Solomon Exam Simulator. I started taking the chapter test over and over, some as much as 15 times. I spent a month of total study time and took the practice 85 question SIE exam 4 times with an average 58% score. I also took the FINRA practice exam 2 times. The results charts gave great insight on well I was master each subject. I used them day. I will tell you that the Solomon practice questions were a lot harder then the real exam. I think that made the difference. I took me just under an hour to complete the test. On the the Series 57- too bad Solomon does not have an exam simulator for that one.

Passed SIE on the first attempt! The multi-prong study approach Solomon puts together - read, take notes, watch videos, practice tests, review - is very effective. By the time I had worked through the plan and used the reports to bolster my weak areas, I walked into the test center with high confidence. It took a lot of time and was hard work, but the test plan and materials made it possible.

I am so happy to announce that I passed the SIE on July 1st! Thank you, Solomon the book, videos, and exam simulator were the best! I went to the test with confidence, and I must say I felt like I was prepared for every question. I had more than enough time to complete all the questions and reviewed my answers. Series 6, here I come! Let's Go, Solomon!

I studied for both the SIE and the Series 99 with Solomon. Both texts more than prepared me for the exam. The practice questions in particular were extremely helpful and were even a bit more challenging than the actual exams. After reading and annotating both textbooks twice and taking each quiz multiple times to the point that I received high scores on each, I was confident taking the exam. Although there were a few questions here and there on the exams that seemed to be outside the scope of the material and had some differently worded questions, the quiz questions were quite in line with the actual exam. I passed both exams my first try. I highly recommend Solomon study material.

I only used the exam simulator and it was the best decision I made! I read a different textbook and used Solomon solely for test prep questions. I promise you the $70 or so this cost is 100% worth it. Every question that I got on my exam (May 2020) was related to all the questions asked in the Solomon exam simulator. If you are willing to put in the work and take all of the chapter quizzes and then take 5 each of the time/not timed exams you will pass. Another good thing is that you can download their app and take exams on your phone - I found this very useful when I didn't want to always be on my laptop all day.

Solomon exam prep materials are the best! I have passed the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 in less than 12 months using their materials. Their products are fantastic! The practice exams are excellent, and the probability calculator is spot on. I followed the provided customized study plan and took practice exams (over 20 lol) until my probability calculator was in the green (indicating a higher probability of passing) and the rest is history. There are no shortcuts. You must put in the work and stay disciplined, but the Solomon program WORKS and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone looking for amazing, comprehensive study materials to prepare for industry examinations.
