Series 65: 1.4.3 Corporate SEC Filings

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

1.4.3 Corporate SEC Filings

While many advisers will ultimately work for investment firms with large research departments that do much of their analysis for them, regulators want to make sure you not only can compute some of the most important ratios, but also know where to find the financial information needed to compute them. Regulators believe that there is no excuse for not examining these data, since regulators require companies to make them readily available on a regular basis through filings that can be easily accessed online. Thus, the exam may ask you specifically about some of the main types of filings, when they’re filed, and what will be in them.

Here’s the short list of what you can be expected to know:

Corporate SEC Filings
Filing	Purpose
Prospectus	Filed prior to new security being issued; contains all info about the issuer potential investors need to evaluate, and potential risks and rewards before investing
Annual Report	Provided to shareholders annually to summarize the issuer’s financial operations
Form 10-K	More detailed than annual report; financial reports audited by independent firm; filed with the SEC
Form 10-Q

I thought the study material from Solomon Exam Prep was great. It helped me focus on the sections where I needed to study the most. I passed with an 81% on my first try for the Series 65 exam. I would definitely use Solomon Exam Prep again if I need to get any more licenses.

Hi Jeremy, I passed! Thanks for all your hard work and support to help me get through the Series 65! I went from scoring a 65 [using a competitor's material] to a 79 percent [with your Exam Prep]. I felt your material covered the exam perfectly. I went out of my way of actually learning instead memorizing. I used the book and the audio book as well as your online test prep. I am glad that is over with! Thanks again, best wishes to you as well.

My name is Michael Urbanski, CPA and I was able to pass the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. For me, I like to study from all the credible resources I can find. Using exam simulators and exposing yourself to as many sample exam questions helps to learn how an exam is written. I would recommend using these materials to help YOU pass the exams you chose to sit for.

I passed my Series 65 today with an 80, first effort! Not only was the material well laid out, but if it's possible, the Solomon prep made the material palatable and understandable. Amazing!!! I have used Kaplan in the past as well as STC, which are both very good, but I chose Solomon because it had audio downloads. With an hour commute, I was able to study during that otherwise wasted time.

Additionally, the "Ask the Professor" and live chat features were excellent!! Questions were answered virtually immediately by personal email from author/owner Jeremy Solomon and he actually called me to help me and cheer me on! I didn't think this kind of customer service and general human kindness existed anymore. He even asked me to let him know personally my results which, thanks to this program, I am on the other side of this very difficult exam.

Thank you Solomon Exam Prep!!!!!

I learned the material quickly and passed the Series 65 with flying colors. It was fun to listen while driving, and it was easy to absorb the information—just like being taught by an entertaining young professor!

I am so happy to say that took my Series 65 Exam and passed on my first attempt! All thanks must go to Solomon Exam Prep and its materials. I read the Study Guide cover to cover 3 times, took notes and took what felt like endless practice quizzes, but I must say that I found the practice questions more difficult than the actual exam! I cannot recommend Solomon Exam Prep enough!
