Consolidated Tape
When an exchange-listed equity security is traded, it is generally reported to the consolidated tape . It is called the “consolidated” tape because it consolidates trade information for most listed securities from every exchange in the country. The particular exchange where the trade took place is not recorded on the tape.
Trades on the floor of an exchange must be reported as soon as the trade is executed. The tape continually displays last transaction information in the following manner: (number of round lots) (ticker symbol) (transaction price).
For example, 20s WMT 54.08 would mean the last transaction was 20 round lots, or 2,000 shares, of Walmart, sold for $54.08 per share. When there is no number ahead of the ticker symbol, you can assume that one round lot of 100 shares was sold. Trades over 10,000 shares and stocks trading at a price greater than $175 show the number of shares, not the number of round lots.

TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
I passed my Series 24 today with an 80% thanks to Solomon Test Prep! I found the most benefit from using the practice exams as a learning tool, reading each answer explanation as I went along, regardless of a(n) correct/incorrect response. I found that for this exam, understanding the concepts is equally as important as memorization! Good luck!

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon.
Thank you!
Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.

Studying for the 24 was not easy. I felt Solomon's course materials and online portal prepared me well for passing the exam in the first try. The study material was NOT overwhelmingly thrown together and I found the study program to be manageable and focused. Got me through the study period of about 4-5 weeks. I would recommend Solomon over the other courses.

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.

I just passed the series 24! It is, by far, the hardest test that I have ever taken. I had failed it 4 times using other study materials. I have never felt more defeated! Solomon Exam Prep is the best! I took over 154 practice tests...without seeing the same question twice. I was able to finally grasp the material and passed! My only regret is that I did not use the Solomon Exam Prep on my first attempt!

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!
