Product Description
Do the terms ad valorem, zero-minus tick, and disintermediation give you a headache? Do you need to take the Series 7 exam? If you can answer yes to both of these questions, then you ve come to the right place.
Robert Walker, a professional trainer who specializes in the NASD/NASAA Series 63, 65/66, 6, and 7 exams, has written this book for those who are about to brave the Series 7 examination. Armed with an M.F.A. in writing and a B.A. in English, Walker has managed to translate Securities-ese into plain English, with a liberal dash of humor.
This must-have book guides you through the intricacies of the Series 7 exam. Walker takes the exam apart piece by piece, and explains terms and concepts with a sense of humor and ease not found in other exam guides. He shows you, step-by-step, how not to be misled by the questions. In addition to practice questions liberally sprinkled throughout its lessons, Pass the 7 includes study sheets summarizing the lessons, a section devoted to test-taking strategy, and a comprehensive glossary and index.
Once you ve finished this book, you will be able to take the test with confidence!

Pass The 7 June 13, 2008

Using Pass The 7 and Series 7 For Dummies as my primary study material
I recieved an 88 on the exam. They say the average passing score is
73 so these books should help you get better than that. Good luck!

Just very easy to understand. I used this book to help me to get through some tough concept like option. I passed my exam and I get my license.
A complete guide May 18, 2008
I purchased the book as a supplement to my firm's program and had fantastic results. I actually preferred the book over the firm's info, and scored a 90% on my first attempt. I would highly recommend this guide for anyone preparing to sit for the 7.

I am a Colorado CPA who had securities licenses (7.63.24.3) back in the 90's. Due to a change of the mortgage market, "ahem", I had to retest to get back in the business.
I took the 65 (85 % score), 63(90% score) and 7(90% score) and am pleased as can be with Mr. Walker's books. Not only do they contain the facts that are needed to pass the exams, but is actually presented in a format that you are still interested in, and awake by the time you get there! Really brilliant training materials. As an active license CPA I can only ask,when is he going to do that too?
Again, thanks so much. OUTSTANDING study materials.

I passed yesterday with the help of this book! Originally, I was handed STC materials and told "good luck". I had no prior exposure to the investment world and was really overwhelmed. Well, after a week of trying to read a book heavy enough to give you a torn rotator cuff, I started searching for some alternatives. I came across this book and found it very easy to read. It takes a lot of work to pass this test but Mr. Walker has a way of putting things in a narrative format. You will find yourself at times actually enjoying the content! There are other support materials available (highly recommend additional quizzes either on disk or printed material) from the author as well that are also worth checking out but if you are struggling, this book will make sense of the material. I am also a picky person when it comes to studying materials so I prefer a brand new book vs. a used because it helps to highlight what you need to study, not what someone else may have struggled with. So my advice is, buy it new, not used if you are taking this for the first time.
As a side note about studying this material in general, there are some video lectures out there that really help tie a lot of this stuff together for those that need a "visual" (especially when it comes to Options)and it complements this book nicely. Also, I believe Mr Walker is working on a DVD or video of material soon so I would definitely keep an eye out for that! Good luck!
