I had the Series 50 study guide memorized backwards and forwards, but still found the exam to be extremely difficult. I think the study guide still needs a lot of refining to cover more of the exam content, but I sure as heck wouldn't have passed the exam without it. Found the Solomon study guide to be absolutely necessary, but still in need of considerable improvement.

I prepared for the Series 50 (Municipal Advisor) exam using your materials and was extremely satisfied. Having the materials in multiple written and audio formats provided a lot of flexibility in where and when I could study. The scope of the Series 50 exam is so broad that even very experienced individuals would benefit by this type of preparatory course. I highly recommend this product.

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.

I haven't taken an exam in about 15 years and I'm happy to report that I passed the Series 50 Municipal Advisor exam on my first attempt. The material was extremely thorough and comprehensive. The online questions, quizzes and exams were very comparable in difficulty to the actual exam, thus providing the foundation for my success. Thank you for your guidance.

Five decades in the muni business didn't guarantee I'd pass the Series 50 pilot exam. (Just knowing content doesn’t mean you are ready for the test.) Thankfully, my Solomon Exam Prep materials were fantastic at teaching complex subject matter in a way that made the answers clear, and I passed the test with ease.

If you plan to take the Series 50 exam, then I strongly recommend that you give yourself the edge that Solomon's study materials provide.

I passed . Got an 84 on my Series 50. Solomon's prep material was pretty good. The practice tests were very helpful too. The numerical examples embedded within the theory really helped with the concepts. Made the material easy to read and understand.
