Built on a highly proven test-prep model, this new guide fully prepares users to pass the Series 7 Exam as well as excel in the seven critical functions of a registered representative. Unlike other... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I passed this exam after studying with only this book. There were a few errors in it, and some of the information is slightly out-of-date (e.g., the IRA contribution limits listed are a few years out of date). Overall, however, I found it to be very useful and well-organized.
Pretty good guide, not great

This guide provided me with a lot of useful information, however, there are some things on the test that could not be answered from this guide. I really like how options and bonds are documented. However, I did not like how market regulations and account set-ups are documented. Good luck if you're testing!
Errors on test exams
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Generally good book, but be careful of errors. There are a number of errors in the text and in exam questions, for instance question 224 (exam 1), answer given is A, but correct answer is C by its own description. I hope this wasn't a real test at one point..... Errors in text as well..... Example: Stop Limit Orders become Limit orders, not stop orders. i.e. will never become market orders....See SEC definition.
A head above

I used this book as a supplement to an online course, to fill gaps and to obtain a different prospective on the subject matter. I loved that it has no "water" in it, rather it is straight to the point, reducing study time, with great "Exam Topic" alerts and an excellent post-chapter summaries, which I used for the "morning of", last minute refresher. The books has good graphics, charts, appropriately used highlights (for good layout and text flow), making studying a breeze. I passed after 20 days of studying with 89% (possibility of attaining the same result is not implied or guaranteed hereby :) .)
Good Study Guide

This book was very helpful in preparing for the Series 7. My employer is providing a more detailed and comprehensive study program, but this book was a very nice additional prep guide. It covers the material that will be tested, has practice exams, and helpful tips for the test itself. I'm glad I bought it.
