Taken from our Series 52 Top Off Online Guide

3.3.1. Applying for a CUSIP Number

All underwriters must apply for a CUSIP number by the time that pricing is finalized. A CUSIP number is the identification number of the new security that helps in the clearing and settlement process. A CUSIP number generally consists of nine characters that uniquely identify a company or issuer and the type of security. They are assigned to all registered U.S. stocks, U.S. corporate bonds, government securities, and municipal bonds.

TESTIMONIALS

I used Solomon for the Series 52 after failing twice with Kaplan and STC. Solomon was immensely more helpful, simpler to understand, and more accurate than both companies combined. The practice questions were very similar to the ones I saw on the exam and the Ask the Professor feature was quick and helpful. I will be using Solomon for the Series 7 in a few months, and I recommend everyone who need to take a FINRA exam to use Solomon before anything else.

Solomon adequately prepared me to pass the 52 on my first try. Also, the one time I used the Ask the Professor tool, I received a response promptly. The pre-built study timelines were fantastic, and the ability to access via computer and the iPhone App was crucial. Many thanks to Solomon. I will use you guys again.

Passed the 52 and 53 within two months thanks to the clarity of Solomon's materials. Great product!

I failed the Series 52 twice and thought my troubles were with retention, but they were with the practice. I used a competitor's materials and it lacked depth and above all else it lacked a large test bank of questions. With Solomon, I went from feeling unable to fully assess all of the answers on the actual exam, to knowing why an answer was right AS WELL AS knowing why the other 3 answers were wrong. This is an underappreciated aspect of test taking that was only achieved through repetition of different questions. Solomon's large test bank was invaluable and the ability to take practice exams with only the questions you previously got wrong is a fantastic addition.

Questions from the exam simulator were pretty similar to the actual series 52 exam, and I felt prepared with the study guide. I will be purchasing the series 53 study materials from Solomon in the near future.

No other test prep service has questions so similar to the actual exam! Pairing practice questions in the exam simulator with the explanations in the book was definitely helpful in passing the Series 52!
