I just wanted to share my feedback on the Series 7 class that I took in NYC 8/1-8/4, with David Morris as the instructor. I found the class to be instrumental in my preparation for the exam. The content encompassed all the salient points that were important for the test, and David is a great instructor. He is very knowledgeable, engaging, breaks concepts down for easier understanding, and has great rapport with his students. I’m very happy to say that I passed the Series 7 test today, and I credit STC and David’s instruction in ensuring that I had the necessary knowledge necessary for the test.

My sincere thanks and appreciation for your unwavering support through my Series 7 prep. I was able to pass the exam this weekend and sincerely could not have done it without the help you all lended me via multiple phone calls and email communications. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being patient with me and helping me work through my weak areas.
After experiencing such excellent customer service with STC for both the SIE and the 7, it was an easy decision to choose STC again for the 66. I look forward to working with you all further as I tackle this next exam. Thanks again for everything! Cheers!

Good Afternoon Dave, I took your class this week and let me again say thank you. It was very clear to me how much you love your job and that you truly care about all of us passing, which I’m not sure I can say about some of the other testing companies I’ve previously used. Again, thank you for your hard work this week and I look forward to speaking to you soon to tell you I passed. I promise you will be third on my list of people to tell when I pass, just behind my girlfriend and dad, I’ll even do it before my manager!
