Flashcards are a great, affordable way to study for your licensing exam. Keep them in your bag or pocket and use them while you are waiting in line in the grocery store, on the subway or train, and even during your lunch hour at work.

As you read through a chapter in your book, make a flashcard for any term you don’t understand or don’t think you’ll remember. The glossary in the back of each book provides you with easy to understand definitions. If the term is not in the glossary look it up in a dictionary.

Once you’ve made flashcards for a chapter, be sure to look through the entire stack at least twice a day; research shows it takes 10-20 repetitions to make a word part of your vocabulary. As you go through the stack, set aside the ones you know and continue to review the ones you don’t.

According to a 2009 Northwestern University study published in the journal SCIENCE, listening to audio can deepen and strengthen memory and learning – even when one is sleeping.

Linda Franklin is the voice of Solomon Exam Prep and reads all of our audio books. Listen to an excerpt of the Series 65 audio book here:

Recently we spoke to someone at FINRA about the new five-hour, 175 question Series 79 Investment Banking Representative exam, and while FINRA still won’t divulge what a passing score for the exam is, their representative did tell us that a passing score on the Series 79 is in the “low seventies” like their other exams.  This score “will fluctuate over time.”   We have been told by someone who took the Series 79 exam and who has been in compliance for decades that it is “not an easy exam.”
