I passed the series 24 yesterday. I started off using Kaplan, took the test, and failed. Then I switched to STC. I wish I would have used STC from the beginning and following the program from the beginning. What I’ve learned is the FiNRA test is like learning a different language. You need to be able to identify what the question is asking and what FiNRA is looking for. The STC test bank prepares you for that. I felt the actual test was not as difficult as the practice and green light exams. The series 24 material is extremely dry and Michael Simon has a very practical, yet dynamic approach in the way he teaches the material in the virtual class. STC is also extremely responsive and available for questions. It helped to speak with someone live and get a brief explanation to help grasp the material. There was a rhythm to it.

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!
