I passed the series 7, 66, 9 & 10 all with the help of Ken. His passion for helping other succeed is apparent in his availability, both for tutoring sessions or even one off quick questions. He also has great material on YouTube (and you might somehow find yourself laughing while learning about Rules & Regs). Highly recommend Ken and Capital Advantage Tutoring if you want that extra boost of confidence before any FINRA exam!
