What Makes This the Best Series 3 Prep Course?
-
Created by a two-person team with very different backgrounds — both have actually taken the Series 3 exam (not just “experts” who haven’t sat for it).
-
We re-take the exam regularly to ensure the material reflects the most current test updates — a process maintained for over 40 years.
-
The course was tested for clarity by a secretary with only a high school education; any confusing material was rewritten until it became easy to follow.
-
When customers have questions, we revise the course content to remove ambiguity and improve comprehension.
-
The course has even been used successfully to train German students (English as a second language) to pass the Series 3 exam, with content rewritten for maximum clarity whenever necessary.
