Customer Reviews

Brief, concise, excellent starting point.

I purchased Barron's and ARCO/Thompson's material. I would highly recommend this book as a great starting point for concise answers to specific questions on the Series 7, and a general core review. It does fail in that there are details it leaves out, but after taking the review questions and practice exams, you'll know exactly what those are, and what additional information you need to research. Other more complete books often leave you bumuddled and confused with the massive amounts of information, over what will actually be on the test. This book will help you get the core concepts down quickly, and from there you can move on to more complete material and additional practice exams and computer based testing to feel in the gaps without drowning in an onslaught of information. I would recommend this as the best starting point, well worth its cost and time spent studying, but you will need to purchase more material with additional practice exams, and more detailed information to fill in the gaps.

It's worth twice the price.

I've been teaching the Series 7 exam for quite some time [...] and for the money [...], I believe that this book is well worth the small cost. If you read what other reviewers say, please keep in mind that they are comparing this book to others costing up to 30 times the price. The Securitites Training Corp's material cost almost [price]. But, if you want a concise inexpensive book that will definately bring you enlightenment on most of the important tested topics, then by all means buy this book. Keep in mind that I can recommend any book I like, but for the money this one is well worth it.

It definately helped me.

If you're thinking about preparing for the Series 7 this is a great book to start with. It gave me lots of great information and topics actually covered on the exam, the sample questions helped me get familiar with the format and style of the real exam. The Series 7 has a high faliure rate, and I passed on my first try... so I say this book is one to own.
