Series 28: Haircuts

Taken from our Series 28 - Introducing Broker-Dealer Financial and Operations Principal Qualification Examination

Definition of the term Haircuts...

a discount that the SEC applies to the market value of securities held by a broker-dealer. Since the value of a security is constantly fluctuating, the SEC discounts its current market value to provide a cushion to account for a possible decrease in value at the time of a firm's liquidation.

Last August 2020 I passed the Series 28 on the first try using your materials. I just wanted to drop in and let you know I passed the Series 27 exam today!! I am so happy today as I took the test in Jan of this year and missed it by 3 points. I switched up my focus and really zoned in the most heavily weighted chapters. This is by far the hardest exam I have taken. Thank you Solomon for your excellent study materials. I'll be back when I pass the next one ;)

I took this Series 28 today and passed on my first try! I think the practice exams helped a ton, though in general, I would say the actual test seemed (at least to me), more difficult than the practice exams. Either way, couldn't have done it without the Solomon Exam Prep.

I wanted to let you know I passed my Series 28 today!! Thanks for great prep materials. I have been working really long hours at my job and it was a challenge finding the time to study. The video lectures proved to be a big help. I’m glad that exam is over!!!

Great preparation for a first-time-go on my SIE exam! Used the audio book for my commutes, and the presentation was good addition to back up the book. I leveraged the exam simulator which was priceless in making me feel like I was prepared for the exam. And, once I got into the test, I was prepared enough that I wondered if the real exam was going to get more difficult at the end...? I felt confident and well-prepared. Will be ordering the top-off shortly! Thanks for a great product and outstanding support!

Many thanks to the fine staff at Solomon Exam Prep. I'm happy to report that I passed the Series 50 Municipal Advisor exam on my first attempt. The written material is extremely thorough and comprehensive. With respect to the online quizzes and final exams, the questions are very comparable in difficulty to the actual exam, thus providing the foundation for success. A special word of thanks to Carson for his encouragement and support.
