I used this book and this book only. I work full time 40+ hours a week. I spent a good 4 weeks, (average around 1 hour a day) and passed the 7 with a 78! It was an easy read, and related it to real life. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to get in the securities business.

This review is from: Pass the 7: A Training Guide for the NASD Series 7 Exam (Paperback)

I just got back from my Series 7 test, and passed it with an 84! My company had given me the STC training manuals, which had me alternatively reduced to tears and/or sleep. Thank God I bought this book. Walker explains everything in clear language, and once I'd read it, it was like a lightbulb went on over my head. Okay, so I didn't get a 90. But I passed FIRST TIME, with an 84! I can't recommend this book enough.

This review is from: Pass the 7: A Training Guide for the NASD Series 7 Exam (Paperback)

I used this book as the single study material with the supplement of Series 7 Exam Simulation Computer CD (500 test questions) by www.testeachers.com to pass Series 7 examination on February 4, 2008. My graduate study in Finance might help in passing this examination at 88% score too.

This book is interesting to read and easy to understand. The information provided should be adequate for passing this examination; however, there are minor information, particularly in ordering and transacting securities and regulations area not covered adequately by this book but appeared on the examination I took. Therefore, in addition to this book, one would want to buy examination simulation tests (from other vendors) that have at least 500 test questions for practice and supplement learning. These test simulation materials shall provide answers to questions for the preparation.

I am benefited by this book and previous reviewers' comments, which helped me in purchasing this book. I feel obligated to share this information with you, thank the author and Amazon.com's market place. Good luck on the exam.
