Original 05/13/15: I'm under no pressure to take the exam but wanted to have a thorough enough understanding and comprehension of the material to take the exam should I decide to do so. I considered doing one of the $300+- packages with books, videos, online instruction, and quizzes. However, after doing a bit of research, which included reviews here, I decided that this book coupled with the free Series 65 Investopedia Exam Prep Quizzer should be more than adequate. The Author steps through the subject matter in a very simple and readable style and I expect to complete the reading portion in 20 to 25 hours. The Investopedia Exam Prep Quizzer is a great tool which can be quickly configured to exam section, number of questions, timing and tracking. I am finding the combination to be the perfect solution. I bought the Kindle version of the book for portability and easy reading.Update: 05/02/15: Once I got going, I didn't stop. After 18 days of study, I passed the exam with plenty of room to spare. I started with strong investor knowledge which gave me a leg up but the law and the recommendation material (80 of 130 questions) was all new. I reduced my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars because while the book was easy (and mildly entertaining) reading; I learned that some of the material was out of date. I did make heavy use of the Investopedia practice exams but found that some of that material was out of date as well. (When I refer to out of date, I refer primarily to various numerical statutory or tax code limits.) Overall, I think I would have passed the exam had I stopped there; however I did not. I found the Solomon Series 65 App for Android with 400 Q's for $10.
