Summary: Very Good but Not the Best -
Comment: I have owned manuals from three of the top selling providers of Series 7 Exam study material. Dearborn's books are some of the best. The tone of the book is fairly conversational and engaging, but there is alot of material covered so its not exactly a "page turner". Its easy when studying for this exam to get overwhelmed, and this book isn't even the longest available. The best way to study for this exam is to read the book once and then hit the questions with a vengence. If you read the book once and then go through the full test 15 times you will pass on your first attempt, just make sure that you are learning the answers to the quiz and test questions and not simply recognizing them from past attempts.
I would say if you need to get the test done quickly this book is great but Dearborn also has a multimedia CD-Rom that is truly fantastic. The audio coaches on the CD point out different areas of study to pay particular attention too as well as giving you a break from alot of what most people will consider fairly dry reading.
If you want a even denser source of information than Dearborns then the only choice is the study materials from Securities Training Corp. There is a fair bit more material covered and the sample exams are even harder than the real thing. You will score well on the exams if you use and absorb the STC material.
Pass Perfect is another provider and I would say while the easiest to read and the most conversational it also covers the least amount of info of the three and while you can certainly pass with it, you are taking a greater risk. Not to give Pass Perfect a hard time, if you just want to pass and be done with it then they are a good choice.
In the end almost all the available study materials from all the different providers (except ARCO) will get the job done, it really depends on your personal preference and how much detail you want to deal with.

Summary: The Average Person's Review of the Passtrak 7 Material
Comment: Most people have written "books" as reviews. I'll just give you a step by step of my experience passing the 7:
1. Read the book front cover to back, completing all of the exams. Important: Make sure to review chapters that you've read everyday to keep the material fresh in your mind.
2. Take as many 100 question practice exams as possible on the CD-ROM. You will find that questions repeat after approx. 10 exams, and your score will improve approx 4 points each time.
3. Take the practice timed final.
4. Read the glossary - no kidding - it's great review.
5. "Hot sheets" are good right before you go in to take exam and to review day to day.
6. Use Barron's Series 7 (Stockbroker exam) along with this book. It explains some things better, and the questions tend to be more realistic. It's also excellent practice.
7. IMPORTANT: YOU GET AN EXHIBIT BOOK JUST LIKE THE ONE THAT DEARBORN GIVES. YOU CAN ANSWER SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS WITH THIS EXHIBIT. MAKE SURE TO USE ALL AVAILABLE INFO YOU GET! RELAX AND GOOD LUCK!

Summary: Comprehensive Review to Pass Test
Comment: This is an excellent book. I recommend completing the book in 25 days ~30 pages per day. Get the CD and do multiple 100+ questions test. Also, the audio CDs are excellent.
