“I personally had no problems passing this course. However, I was with a team of bankers in licensing who could not say the same, and I completely see why. I will summarize my review at the end as well. I understand that it is hard to encompass the entire material in the text. However, I kept finding that AD Banker was too vague when it needed to get specific, and yet somehow too detailed when it didn't need to be. I also understand that as we go along with each test, the "unanswered" questions would eventually be answered. For example, the jump from the SIE to the 6 helped make things such as mutual funds and variable annuities make a lot more sense. However, there needed to be an explanation there that these questions would be answered later on, so as to not confuse us or make us feel as though we're missing information. The wording on the FINRA tests was also completely different. there should've been more of an emphasis on helping us understand that the tests may look completely different. If some of these bankers were given a bit more confidence going into their exams, I believe they would understand that it is their ABILITY TO RECONSTRUCT THE QUESTIONS to WHAT THEY LEARNED FROM AD BANKER (use context clues, understand general themes, etc.) that would help them pass. In other words, less memorization, more interesting (challenging, but not difficult) questions. I would like to note that limiting us to an "Average" performance, penalizing us for taking more than 5 chapter exams is ludicrous. The staff at the AD banker virtual lessons were also useless. They wouldn't even answer any questions and the way that is done needs to be rethought. I didn't even bother going to them after the first two. Finally, I would give the bankers more time. Two chapters a day was ridiculous; part of why I was so ahead of the other bankers in licensing pertained to the fact that I only did one chapter a day. To summarize, there needed to be more of a system in place to give bankers the confidence they needed to walk in to that FINRA exam. This could've been done better by offering different wording and more challenging questions, most specifically in the case of the SIE. Bankers need more time to fully grasp the material. The virtuals are utterly useless, the staff were not engaging and REFUSED to answer questions. Did we have everything we needed to pass? Yes. However, this constitutes no more than a 2/5. I give AD Banker a failing grade, as I have seen it fail my peers around me.”

“I feel that this vendor lacks detailed information, the videos are EXTREMELY boring, and there is no life to them, I like to watch and hear videos, but the videos offered by ADB are not it. They should make them more animated, it will help keep people engaged. The way they bulk some content in a chapter is tedious. I would rather have the bigger chunks separated into a lot of shorter ones. Wish there was more time for tutoring sessions/more sessions than 2.”

“Overall I was not impressed with AD Banker. The overall course material was fine and acceptable, however, the practice tests provided were not even remotely accurate to what the actual exams were like. The actual exams are far more difficult than the practice tests, and I would recommend buying additional practice exams from different study material providers to be prepared for the real exams.”

“AD Banker does a good job in presenting the material but lacks in testing. It's understood that no company knows exactly how or what the questions on the actual exams will be like but AD Banker should make an effort in providing harder questions that reflecting on the actual exams compared to the AD Banker practice exams.”

“I did not like this course. The forced time blocks for each slide were annoying. There was lots of freezing. The font sizes made some slides/questions difficult to read.”

“I passed my licensing exams, but that wasn't due to AD Banker. I felt confident going into the SIE, since I was scoring 90% and above regularly on the practice exams, imagine my surprise when I encountered material I didn't recognize (far more than the 10 extra questions FINRA throws in that don't count) and felt like I passed by the skin of my teeth. There are not enough variety of questions in their practice exams, so repeatedly taking them has little benefit. I ended up using AD banker books for initial information, but switched to Kaplan Q-Banks for the practice exams since they had thousands of questions that exposed me to concepts not in the AD Banker books, and that way I was actually prepared.”

“some questions seem between the lines, can not find specific verbage for answer. a glossary would be super helpful.”

“It takes longer for some people to read, learn and comprehend. Allowance to use the material was a bit too short for me. It doesn't have to be completely free but we should have an option to extend the time frame we can use the material to study longer. Also the voice which reads out the screen is very toneless. I wished it would be a bit more lively. And if we could change the reading out pace to make it faster or slower, it would help the users.”

“A.D. Banker: A punitive approach to teaching. You are welcome to use that in your marketing materials. Not everyone learns, or retains information, in the same manner. Your system rewards the following of your rules as opposed to rewarding content retention, all the while penalizing the student for taking too many practice tests. I scored "poor" in all my sections, yet I passed the SIE, 6, 63 & CA Life as I disregarded your unnecessary and draconian scoring measures. It is cruel and unfair to lead the student on that they are doing poorly in preparation for their exams. Most of us have jobs that require us to hold these licenses. Creating fear of losing one's job and doubt in what you've learned is in no way helpful to your students. Should you need help in creating a better teaching program, I'm willing to help you build one.”

“This was the most uninteresting and hard-to-learn subjects I've ever been forced to learn. There is no way to ask questions to instructors and if it wasn't for the employees around me I would not have been able to understand the course.”

“Honestly, guys, you need a way for students to give feedback on each slide/question. I did pass all my tests first try but it wasn't without struggle. While I was taking my practice tests I was constantly questioning if I was wrong or if there was something wrong with the question. It's one thing if it's just worded weirdly but that's not what I'm talking about, I mean the questions that say something different than what was in the text or a question that didn't refer to the text in that chapter. Also in addition to that the liked text to incorrect questions on the cumulative tests often did not hold an explanation to that question, which for me was always a dead ringer of there being something fishy with that question.”

“It was time to take my CE Courses for the first time. I live in FL but the course was for GA. Not knowing, I began taking the GA courses. I began receiving notices from my employer that the certification was not received. It wasn't until I spoke to a co-worker that I should be completing the course s for the state I reside in. I tried to switch the state on the website, it did not work, I had to call and literally cram for the exam because of the time wasted taking the incorrect courses, my license expired. Thank goodness the state accepted the late certificates. If not, I would have list my job! The Representative that I spoke with on the phone was very empathic and kind, and she corrected the error.”

“The material is insufficient. Instructors don't have enough time to teach the lessons. which leaves students to figure out most of the work on their own. There also appears to be zero quality control for the instructors and they can do whatever they want and say whatever they want during class. If you use AD Banker, you must also be comfortable with using outside sources to supplement what you learn. There are also things on the exams that AD banker completely did not cover. They also have no way to control if instructors show up to tutoring. When the instructor misses the tutor session, they blame the student. 10/10 would not recommend it. My only reason for giving two stars is because I had one Great tutor. besides that, I can go on for days with the list of mishaps and unprofessional behaviors.”

“After participating in a different company's training program, my experience with A.D. Banker was incredibly disappointing. Did it have all the necessary information for the exam in question? Yes. Did it present that information in a digestible, easy-to-absorb, effective manner? Absolutely not. AD Banker simply did not hold a candle to the other training program, or other e-learning content in general, for that matter. The pros: - Contained the necessary information to complete the target exam. The cons: - Information was drab and repetitive. - First, I'd read through a series of slides, then watch unengaging videos which recapped that info. Followed by some practice questions. This style does not encourage retention nor comprehension, and in 2023, it really seems like the bare minimum when it comes to e-learning content. - The materials did not do a good job of adequately preparing me for how much of the exam would be focused on certain areas. And the only reason I passed, was because I found that info elsewhere and studied accordingly. - The information was presented in only one of 3 ways. The lack of variety made it incredibly hard to get through and unengaging. - This program requires a student who is already proficient at test taking and study habits. For everyone else, the AD Banker program did not give any insights or tips on how to be successful. - There was no adequate and accessible way to review content, besides scrolling back through the slides one by one. In a study program like this, this fact is simply unacceptable. This made it incredibly challenging to go back through and review concepts and topics. I can't help but notice that AD Banker does not disclose their student's pass rates. After participating in this program, this is not at all a surprise, as I'm sure it's pretty low. As one who has made my own e-learning courses, this program truly is the absolute bare minimum for an ecourse in 2023. Everything about the course feels unengaging, outdated, and low-effort. I would never recommend a program like AD Banker's to anyone who wants a quality learning program.”

“The way the study material is taught doesn't directly correlate with the actual exam. The instructors may teach as if it's a refresher course which can be difficult to follow if one has never had any experience. Lastly, I would suggest encouraging study at home and possibly outside material. This was something we were asked not to do, however, those in my class who did passed on their first attempt. Those who did not, took the exams multiple times.”

“I feel as though AD banker is not doing the right thing when it comes to learning the material, I am memorizing all of the quiz questions and comp questions rather than actually grasping the actual concept. I have had to use other resources and studying materials to be able to gain more knowledge and more real life examples . I also dont like the way the comprehensive exams are set up. It does show the chapters I am not doing well in which is good but , it should take those chapters and make a comprehensive exam on those chapters were scoring low in , instead of just repeat questions on multiple exams.”
