Thank you so much for your great study materials! I have used you to pass my Series 6, 63 and most recently my Series 7 all on the first try. The practice exams and video lectures were great and extremely helpful. Will definitely be using your study material for any future exams and will recommend you to other people

Louis Orsatti, NY LIFE Securities, Boston, MA

I've used the Solomon exam prep materials for both my SIE and Series 6 exams and passed both on the first try! The audio materials are a lifesaver and a great resource to utilize, especially while driving. Also, your team is fantastic! I reached out through the "Ask the Professor" option while studying for the SIE and the response and additional help was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend Solomon! Thanks again!

Kristina Ribali, Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial. Naples, FL

Well, I am back! Solomon did it again. I passed the Series 6. All of Solomons materials throughly prepared me for the passing of the SIE and the Series 6. Whose materials will I use for the Series 63? I am glad you asked. I must say it will be Solomon Exam Prep. Thanks again, Solomon your study materials are the best!

Leanene Carriere. Houston, TX

I took a job which required me to pass the SIE, Series 6, Series 63 and Series 26. Understandably this was a pretty tall task, but the Solomon Exam Prep materials made it incredibly easy. I appreciated how well all of the material was laid out for all four tests. I stuck to the study plans that were included in the resources and passed all four tests on the first try. This was a stressful time in my life, but Solomon got me through it! I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone who is looking to become licensed. Part of my new job is managing other licensed individuals and I recently hired two employees who are now required to be licensed. I reached out to Solomon for a demo of their Admin Portal and it is wonderfully comprehensive. It allows me to track my employees progress without having to reach out and be too invasive. Excellent all around!

Stephen Carbaugh, StanCorp Equities, Inc. Portland, OR

My sincere thanks and appreciation to the team at Solomon. I've used your materials to pass the SIE and Series 6, both on the first try, and today with your help, I have passed the Series 26 exam on the first try as well! Thank you for the excellent materials and assistance!

Kristina Ribali, MWA Financial Services. Ave Maria, FL

Thanks so much for your great product. I recently used for the Series 6 and took a month to study and passed. I previously used another provider and didn't pass.
