I passed my 27 and I can't thank you enough for the preparation materials, most importantly the Final Exams. I studied for weeks for this test and buckled down the last two weeks of 6 hour study days. It's a great feeling and I couldn't have done it without you!!!

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 had tried another learning system before Solomon and walked into the Series 24 unprepared and subsequently failed. After using the Solomon system for three weeks, taking full advantage of the app on my cell phone I walked into my second attempt very prepared for the type of questions I was going to see. Not only did I pass, I did so with confidence. Thanks so much Solomon!

I never really had to study in high school or college, so I was especially nervous to take this exam after hearing from colleges how difficult the Series 6 was. This program gave step-by-step instructions on how to study which ultimately led to me passing on my first try with an 81.

I passed the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. Your practice exams really helped. Thanks again.

The Series 79 can be quite tricky, thankfully Solomon Exam Prep had practice test questions that were just as tricky. Solomon's Test Prep is definitely effective and is less expensive than other Test Prep companies.
