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 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!!!

Soloman's practice exams are a powerful tool! Just passed SIE - will be looking to use their other content for the top-off exams very soon. Thank you!

You guys were instrumental to my passing the Series 79. The study materials were incredibly helpful and the quizzes and tests gave me great "live" practice. The staff reached out to me a few times to see how I was doing, answer questions and offer helpful tips. I was pleasantly surprised and greatly aided by their personal approach to ensuring my success.

I PASSED. A big thank you to Solomon Exam Prep for breaking down the material for the Series 65 exam into understandable information. I started my exam prep journey with another provider and their material was simply too wordy and full of unnecessary information. I switched to Solomon Exam Prep and the material was easy to follow and I PASSED. Thanks so much for being there for me.

I just passed the S51 with an 86%. I want to express my sincere thanks to Solomon. I love the way you structure your practice exams. I always enjoy receiving speedy responses from Ask the Professor, especially from Karen. Karen, thank you for all your help, you are the best!!!!!!!
