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!

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.
THANKS Robert Walker! October 6, 2007

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.
Easy to read and funny too!! April 9, 2008

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!

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.
THIS BOOK IS AWESOME March 13, 2008

I love this book! Whoever is trying to pass their 7 should buy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had NO EXPERIENCE in the brokerage industry and bought this book because I hated the book that I got to study from.
I LOVED EVERY PAGE OF IT. It is sooooo easy to read (My first language is not English) and so easy to understand.
I passed my exam on the first try - WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!!
THANK YOU MR. WALKER!!
