I used Solomon Exam Prep for both my Series 79 and 63, and was extremely happy with my passing results! Their system is excellent, and the exam simulator is on target. I recommend that once you've taken several full practice exams, you return to the underlying material to read it again - this helps all the details "click." Best of luck, I'd definitely recommend Solomon.

The 79 test was brutal. I went in feeling really confident. I was scoring 80% on portions of your exam simulator tests, and reread all of the materials and your study guide 3 times before I went in. I had also printed all of the questions I had missed in practice, and reviewed those in the parking lot before I went in. However, I had no idea what the answer was on the first 10 questions on the exam, and that really got me stressed! Just as I moved on to a few questions that were more familiar, construction activity began immediately outside the wall I was sitting at, and continued for 2 hours. The headsets I was wearing seemed to amplify whatever harmonics were coming off of the machinery, so when I pulled them off, it actually worked better. Also the monitor was poor resolution and old, which made it more difficult to focus. 2.5 hours in I had a splitting headache, and was certain I would not complete the exam and/or would get less than ½ right. The construction finally let up, and I blazed through the rest of the exam and had 45 minutes to go back through my marked answers. At least half were marked, and I got through about 2/3's of those before time ran out. The 2 minutes it took to compute my score seemed like an eternity. I was figuring I did reasonably well on Collection/Analysis and M&A since I do that for a living and was very comfortable with the subject matter, and completely bombed the underwriting and regs. My score (miraculously) was an 80%. Your exam simulator and study notes for the Series 79 were great. They gave me the spot-on practice I needed to prepare for the exam. Even more impressive was your team's extraordinary support and responsiveness as I prepared for this difficult exam. In the final days ahead of the test, you immediately addressed questions and concerns, and gave me the confidence and focus I needed to pass the exam on the first try.

Had a challenge the first time with another provider and switched to Solomon. I found Solomon materials to be more comprehensive and the videos were a big help for the way I learn. Thanks to everyone at Solomon for going the extra mile.

I studied for the Series 7, 79, and 82 with Solomon Exam Prep, and I never scored lower than a 90% on the actual exam! The Study Guides are easy to understand, and the Online Exam Simulator really prepares you. I just purchased the Series 24 Essential Package today!

I just passed the FINRA Series 79 exam!! I only used Solomon Exam Prep. I recognized the material that came up during the exam and felt comfortable all the way through!! That you all for your help!!

I was well prepared from using Solomon. Such much so that I finished early enough to review the questions and my answers, and determine my estimated score. Thanks! Great platform. Highly recommend using Solomon.
