TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
I just took and passed the Series 51 in one attempt. The Solomon materials were excellent. The Solomon simulated tests were very beneficial and were very similar to the actual 51 test. Thanks to Solomon I was well prepared to succeed. When I was taking the actual 51 exam, I did not encounter any surprises that I was not prepared for. Solomon seems to have it very well covered.
My method for success? I read the book chapter by chapter, taking the chapter practice tests along the way. I saved the questions I missed for review later. I then went through the book a second time using the same method.
After reviewing the questions I had missed on the smaller exams, I started taking the timed simulation for the test. Again, I reviewed the questions I got wrong, making sure I understood the reason for getting it wrong and what the right answer should be. I did this review of missed questions every time I took the simulated exam.
I took the simulated exam five or six times, getting scores in the low 80s.
This method prepared me to take the real test which I passed on my first attempt.
I highly recommend both Solomon and this study method for taking the 51.
Good luck all future test takers!!!!

I had a super rough go passing this (Series 7) exam due to a number of personal circumstances, but on my third attempt, I finally passed, with 30 minutes to spare! After my second failed attempt (I failed by ONE question), I spoke to Jeremy Solomon on the phone and via email, and he provided me with some strategies to help me pass the exam once and for all. I focused heavily on rereading the study guide, and teaching concepts to my spouse so that I wasn’t just learning the information, but really understanding it to the point where I could teach it to someone else. The exam simulators are super helpful, but don’t overdo it… this really isn’t the kind of test where you can only learn by doing practice questions. Re-watching the video lectures was very helpful for me as well. I also recommend making flash cards for memorization purposes. If you fail like me, don’t give up - perseverance (and more studying) will get you to the finish line!

I
passed my Series 65 today with an 80, first effort! Not only was the material
well laid out, but if it's possible, the Solomon prep made the material
palatable and understandable. Amazing!!! I have used Kaplan in the past as well
as STC, which are both very good, but I chose Solomon because it had audio
downloads. With an hour commute, I was able to study during that otherwise
wasted time.
Additionally, the "Ask the Professor" and live chat features were
excellent!! Questions were answered virtually immediately by personal email from author/owner Jeremy Solomon and he actually called me to help me and cheer me on!
I didn't think this kind of customer service and general human kindness existed
anymore. He even asked me to let him know personally my results which, thanks
to this program, I am on the other side of this very difficult exam.
Thank you
Solomon Exam Prep!!!!!
