Funny and Full of Knowledge
This easy to understand and toned down book was excellent! I previously failed the Series 6, using an unnamed Company. (Just becasue they say they have a method that works does not mean that it works).
This book was awesome. It explained new and old information in a comical way but it stayed on track and on task. The study questions and review tests were extremely helpful. And the test taking tips are easy to remember. All I have it 2 words. . . I PASSED.

Well worth the money
This book was the most helpful tool I had in preparing for my exam. I also used online preperation, but it was dry and boring. I actually looked forward to reading this book! It explains the terms in plain english and even has some laugh out loud moments. It also relates terms and concepts to each other so that they make sense and aren't just an excercise in memorization. I highly recommend it to anyone preparing for the Series 6!

Worked for me!!!
I used this book only. I didn't use tapes, internet, or any other classes.
I am NOT a good test taker. Learned the book studied the practice test answers and past with an 83.
