TESTIMONIALS

I studied for the Series 24 for two and a half months. I thank God for his grace passed on the first attempt. The exam simulator is superb, it's projection of readiness to sit for an exam is spot on. All the feedback I received on how difficult the test was proved to be very helpful. As a result I over studied and followed the recommended study plan step by step which was key. Thanks again Jeremy and team, Solomon exam prep is the best ;)

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.

I tried studying on my own using materials from another vendor, which was super wordy and lengthy. After much frustration, I looked for new study materials and discovered Solomon. It is concise, clear and presented well. The subject area quizzes and practice exams were unlimited and very helpful. Six weeks later I passed the Series 24 with an 85! I would not hesitate to use Solomon again, should the need arise.

I just passed the series 24! It is, by far, the hardest test that I have ever taken. I had failed it 4 times using other study materials. I have never felt more defeated! Solomon Exam Prep is the best! I took over 154 practice tests...without seeing the same question twice. I was able to finally grasp the material and passed! My only regret is that I did not use the Solomon Exam Prep on my first attempt!

Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.

I would just like to say that Solomon’s customer service was excellent. The material was clear and easy to understand and I feel that it prepared me extremely well for my exam. I found the study outline to be the most helpful in keeping me on track. I would definitely refer the material to anyone taking the Series 24. Thank you to the Solomon team for helping me pass my 24!
