1.0 out of 5 stars
Not a complete book for the series 7 exam. Very small.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barron's How to Prepare for the Stockbroker Exam: Series 7 (Paperback)
I found this Series 7 book to be very incomplete in it's material. I used another book that was 3 times the content of this book. This book should only be a secondary supplement to a more detailed text book. The best book on the series 7 that I've seen is AIT. there number is 1 877-252-8600 It was over 800 pages with 2000 test questions.I found it to be very strong and I passed my test with it.

don't waste your money,
By john mahoney (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to prepare for the Stockbroker Exam: Series 7 (Barron's Stockbroker Exam: Series 7) (Paperback)
Very poor guide to a very comprehensive exam. Typos and missing words throughout. The text continually refers to esoteric terms in the text and chapter tests prior to them being defined. It makes your overall comprehension that much more challenging. Considering the voluminous material that needs to be understood, I found this very annoying. I called the Securities Training Corp. and received a much more comprehensive and better organized study guide. They also provide 5X as many practice exams. It may be more expensive, but not as expensive as the damage to your reputation if you fail.

You get what you pay for.,
By Min Schake (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to prepare for the Stockbroker Exam: Series 7 (Barron's Stockbroker Exam: Series 7) (Paperback)
This book was not very thorough. It is a good overview of what to expect and the topics covered, but do not use this book as a primary study guide for the exam. It might be a good book for someone who just wants an overview, but not for someone who is preparing for the exam.
