The Average Person's Review of the Passtrak 7 Material
Most people have written "books" as reviews. I'll just give you a step by step of my experience passing the 7:
1. Read the book front cover to back, completing all of the exams. Important: Make sure to review chapters that you've read everyday to keep the material fresh in your mind.
2. Take as many 100 question practice exams as possible on the CD-ROM. You will find that questions repeat after approx. 10 exams, and your score will improve approx 4 points each time.
3. Take the practice timed final.
4. Read the glossary - no kidding - it's great review.
5. "Hot sheets" are good right before you go in to take exam and to review day to day.
6. Use Barron's Series 7 (Stockbroker exam) along with this book. It explains some things better, and the questions tend to be more realistic. It's also excellent practice.
7. IMPORTANT: YOU GET AN EXHIBIT BOOK JUST LIKE THE ONE THAT DEARBORN GIVES. YOU CAN ANSWER SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS WITH THIS EXHIBIT. MAKE SURE TO USE ALL AVAILABLE INFO YOU GET! RELAX AND GOOD LUCK!

Passtrak Series 7 text review
Overall, I was generally pleased with the Passtrak Series 7 set. However, the answers and the respective page references to the end of chapter questions (not the Q & A book) did not always match up to the specified page. Like numerous others that I know who have taken the exam, I found the text did not cover a significant amount of the material in sufficient enough detail. The actual exam had questions that could not be found or referenced in the Passtrak text. In addition, the details of some exam questions exceeded the detail offered in the text. I passed the exam, but disappointed with the amount of material that was missing from the text that I was presented with on the exam. I do feel that one could find more than enough accurate material in the Passtrak Series 7 set to pass the exam if good study habits are employed.

If you can get through the book it is ok
As one other reader mentioned, there are some mistakes which are a bit fustrating. My advice if you are going to get this book is to leave yourself plenty of time to take some online tests as well. I don't think it's manageable to go through this book as well as another one, but be advised that there are some items on the test that I didn't see in the book (i.e. money laundering). Study time (4 weeks + online tests). Score: 84. Similar Products
