What's the best Series 7 book to study from?

I'm considering changing my work direction and thought I'd check out something in finance. There are many books out there, and I want to make sure any study guide is well-written and easy for me to understand since it's been awhile since my mind has been used in that manner. My dad said his financial planner said Dearborn, but maybe that's what he used and it worked for him but that could have been 10 years ago, so I figure someone out here in the universe may know something about this - thanks!

    I agree with your dad. Ive done both my Series 7 and my Series 3. I wouldnt study from 1 book. I would get some online study, some book study. I personally like futures better then stocks so I went that way. You might want to look at that as well. Its a much easier test. But either way its great to have them both. If you do one I would suggest doing the other. I went in for an interview and they said you have your 7, 3, Insurance (health, life) etc. They said what dont you have? I said well maybe I start as a stock, if they want to do a rollover, or move into some futures. I want to say I have that license even if its not my job, I want to know everything. It doesnt hurt to have them all. Easier to knock them out all at once. I did my 7, studdied my 3 for 3 days took that, then my insurance a week later.

    I used Dearborn and I liked it best but that was only 80% of my study, its good to read it from another view point as well. I used pass on my insurance.

    Good luck on your studies and testing. I dont envy your series 7. That's one long test.

    Securities Training Corporation Series 7 Study Guide .... used by all the major wall street investment banks. I took it and passed it on my first try (its not a very hard test if you are really into finance....series 63 is even easier)

    PS; you do know that you CANNOT take any of the NASD exams if youre not sponsored by a securities firm.
