4.1. Underwriting a Securities Issue

To execute and enforce the registration process laid out in the Securities Act of 1933, the SEC has enacted many rules that dictate how stocks and bonds can be issued and sold. Companies that are required to issue their securities in a public offering must follow a strict set of rules and procedures set out by the SEC. Private placements have their own set of rules.

I passed the S24 today with a score of 80. Your study guide is great!!!

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

I passed the Series 24 on the first try with an 80%! This was the highest of all of my Series exam scores and I attribute much of my success to Solomon's amazing study materials. The practice exams are spot-on and the video lectures were a great supplement to the readings. I suggest following the study schedule Solomon provides for a successful outcome!

I passed the 24 the first time with the help of the Solomon materials. The online course and the exams really helped focus in and clarify what was important. I've recommended them to all of my colleagues!

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!

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon. Thank you! Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.
