Taken from our Series 66 Online Guide

9.3.6.2. Unauthorized Principal Transactions

While broker-dealers regularly sell their customers securities from their own inventory of securities (known as acting as a “principal”), it is far less common for an investment adviser to do the same thing. Since an investment adviser is not registered as a “dealer,” and recommending the purchase of securities out of its own inventory presents a conflict of interest, an investment adviser who engages in principal transactions must do the following

Thanks to you guys, I passed my Series 7 the first time around on Tuesday the 21st. The information given was not only accurate but easy to absorb due to the way the material was set up in your course. I will back to study the Series 66 with you.

Very excited to pass the Series 66! The Solomon practice exams were very helpful to understand the concepts and fundamentals of the questions. I would highly recommend Solomon Exam Prep for all FINRA exams. Make sure to have a good grasp on agent registration and suitability when taking the 66. Thank you Solomon!

After hearing horror stories about people struggling and in some cases failing the Series 66, after easily passing the series 7, I invested in both the Series 66 audio book and the Series 66 on-line tests. I passed my Series 66 exam with an 87%!

So, on this exam [Series 66] I used both your material and Kaplan. mainly because the bank had already paid for kaplan and I had grown accustom to your laid back writing style along with a great mp3 version of the book. Anyway, I got a fair amount of questions from both the kaplan material and your material before taking the test. I have to say that your material matched more closely to the test than I ever would have expected. I will be coming back to Solomon exam prep for ALL of my exam prep needs. :-) Thanks!

Thank you so much and special thanks to the product you put out!! I did not know about Solomon a year ago when I took the Series 7 and I used another company's material. I did not pass the 7 first time and I was extremely nervous about the 66. However your product was wonderful and thanks to you guys I passed the 66 on my first try!!! Can't thank you enough!!!

I just passed the Series 66 exam and found that the Solomon Exam Prep materials are the way to go when preparing for this exam. The advice given from the get-go is spot on; if you think you can cram for this course, forget it. Use the materials as advised and you'll do well. The format of the practice exams closely simulate the way the questions are presented on the test itself. I had 2 prep materials, Solomon's and another and I honestly believe Solomon's was the one that helped the most.
