2.0 out of 5 stars Doing Series 7 exam? Study PASSTRAK's book instead, January 20, 2002

This review is from: Series 7 Stockbroker NASD Exam (Arco Professional Certification and Licensing Examination Series) (Paperback)

I was in the process of preparing for my Series 7 exam. Bought the Arco book because I saw it at a local bookstore and thought it was more affordable than others. My first impression of the Arco book seems was clear and simple. After spending 2 weeks studying the first 120 pages, I've found that the book was confusing at times, organized in a way that does not utilize some of the "best known methods" of a exam-prep book. From my frustrations, I cross-referenced the PASSTRAK Series 7 book by Dearborn at a local bookstore, found that the PASSTRAK book was much more in detail and organized in a way that I can easily understand the subjects, no only the stated facts, but also the underlying concepts. In addition, the PASSTRAK book provides numerous "test tips", and highlights of the concepts and typical test question types. The PASSTRAK also has great quiz and end of chapter questions that are clearly written with answers that go into detail to explain. These are what I consider exam-prep book's "best known methods" to prepare an exam candidate.

Conclusion: better off spending a bit more money for the PASSTRAK. I wish I didn't buy the Arco book, because after studying the PASSTRAK book, all the flaws in the Arco book became so appearant. Good luck!

3.0 out of 5 stars For Preliminary use only!, July 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Series 7 : Stockbroker NASD Exam (with CD-ROM) (Paperback)

This book will give you a basic understanding of the type of material you will need to know in order to pass the series 7. However, the keyword is basic. It is in no way in depth enough. Do yourself a favor and get the real thing. I have used two other study programs and they are MUCH, MUCH better(American Investment Training and Securities Training Inc). They do cost a pretty penny (about $200) but are well worth it. As far as the CD is concerned, don't waste your time with it. Many of the answers are wrong and it does not provide explanations.
