WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT SOLOMON'S FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONS PRINCIPAL QUALIFICATION EXAMINATION

Last August 2020 I passed the Series 28 on the first try using your materials. I just wanted to drop in and let you know I passed the Series 27 exam today!! I am so happy today as I took the test in Jan of this year and missed it by 3 points. I switched up my focus and really zoned in the most heavily weighted chapters. This is by far the hardest exam I have taken. Thank you Solomon for your excellent study materials. I'll be back when I pass the next one ;)
