You won't be dumb if you use the SIE Dummies study manual!

I used this and a more text bookish SIE prep material. The dummies book contained everything the textbook one did but was cheaper.
The main difference between the two is you get a little more context with the textbook where with the dummies book, it's straight to the point, which is what I liked.

Passed the exam and probably couldn't have done it without this SIE dummies study assistant.

Way too many mistakes

I already have completed my SIE and was reviewing this book for my study group. It is loaded with mistakes, some obvious. I have written to the company, documenting the mistakes, and even provided them trustworthy sources backing up my conclusions. They said they would forward this to some other department, but never heard back. Perhaps a future edition may be better, but beware of this one as some of the key material is just plain wrong.

Only this book and passed the exam in 2 months. Highly recommend.

English is not my first language, so, the dummies' series is the best for me. This book has 2 practice exams plus 4 on online which were very helpful. I had read this book 3 times, and took the practice tests 3 times each. Studied for 2 months and passed the SIE test. I highly recommend this.
There were 3 -4 wrong answers in the mini tests in the book, though. However if you are reading, you can spot it! No need to worry about that.

Passed first try with only this book

I crammed the book for about two weeks and passed but a lot of the book is not on the test or puts emphasis on something but there are only one or two questions on the exam about.

Really helped me a lot

I read this for the SIE it helped so much! The questions are harder then the program I was previously working on which helped a lot for the tea test. There is a lot of information in here that also helped me for my second exam as well! I recommend for those struggling with the SIE.

Wish I would've gotten it earlier.

I ended up giving up on the training program I was in shortly after receiving the book. Looking through it, I can see it would've helped me a lot more than their material. (To clarify I got the book in good time, I wish I would've bought it sooner)

Several answers are wrong in the quizzes!!! be careful!!

I am getting a lot out of this book, BUT several answers in both the chapter quizzes and practice tests at the end are WRONG! (2nd edition) To include but not limited to: Chapter 5 Question 10, says the correct answer is C which is clearly wrong, and the 2nd practice test in the back, Question 46 says A is correct, which is NOT correct either. There are several others that I can’t remember but bottom line: This book is a great resource BUT be careful with the quizzes!!!!
