Series 7: 4.6 Inherited And Gifted Securities

Taken from our Series 7 Top-off Online Guide

4.6 Inherited and Gifted Securities

When someone inherits securities, the heir’s cost basis will be the fair market value (FMV) on the date of death. This new cost basis is sometimes called a stepped-up cost basis because if the securities have been held for a long time, it can result in a substantial increase in cost basis (and a substantial tax savings).

Completing the Series 7 was a requirement for my current position. After seeing the material and dedication Solomon Exam Prep put into the SIE material, I knew Solomon’s material would be perfect for me again. I had access to STC material and tried to go through it first but it was too content heavy and at certain points, very confusing. I decided to move back over to Solomon for the 7 and was blown away yet again by how great the material is. Solomon has figured out how to properly prepare people for this exam in my opinion. Solomon Exam Prep focuses on teaching the concept rather than bogging you down with so much material. THAT IS SO HELPFUL! Of course the material is important but it’s extensive. After using Solomon Exam Prep for the Series 7, I was able to fully understand the concepts which made it so much easier to select the best questions on the exams. All the other training programs bury you deep with content, which makes it almost impossible to understand the concepts. If you get questions on the exam that you have not seen before, only knowing specific material will not help you. But if you understand the concepts (like Solomon Exam Prep helped me do) you can break down the question and find the best answer based on your understanding of the concept as a whole. That’s a much better method and Solomon Exam Prep has figured this out! I strongly suggest buying the study guide. You won’t regret it!

Used Solomon for my second & third time. First time I used a different company & day of test, I had no idea what I was reading. Second time, I bought Solomon a little too close to my test date, failed but had a higher score. Third Time, used strictly Solomon & passed! Cant thank Solomon enough, will recommend to everyone!

Solomon is the BEST!!! Passed the Series 7 on the first try. The lessons are videos and lessons are good. The practice exams are EXCELLENT. Focus on options and muni's. Load up on practice exams and you will be fine. Thank you Solomon!!!

I passed first try! Three hours and forty-five minutes might seem like a long time, but it flew by. The Solomon Exam Prep conditioned me very well. Utilizing the chapter quizzes and practice exams really helped apply my learning, and also helped with time management. (Series 7)

I am still so giddy that I passed my Series 7 on 1/31. I truly cannot believe it. I took the 7 three times in 2019 utilizing Kaplan study materials and didn't feel good going into the tests any of the times. So shockingly I failed all three times by a lot. My highest score was a 68%. I used Solomon for my 51 in September (passed on the first try) so I thought I could try it for my 7 even though it is the hardest securities test I have taken. I felt so good going into the testing center and I passed!!! I am so grateful to have found your materials. They have been incredibly helpful and I am able to understand all the material covered in the books. I still am in shock that I passed. Now off to the 24!
