This is only my second experience with AD Banker and i was upset that the required coursed that was set for me had one that was a duplicate and after going through the entire course and testing i find out that I still did not meet the certification requirements and had to retake a different 20 hours course. This really set me back with work productivity while having to use the time to complete 2 20hr courses in one month. Also, there are glitches in the P&C course that I took. The system would show a chapter incomplete even though I took the quiz and moved on. I finished the exam and passed but the system was still saying that I had incomplete chapters. Just want to make you all aware of these things so that it can be reviewed and fixed if there is one.

I studied with AD Banker for my crop insurance exam. I was able to learn the material provided, scoring high in the 90% each time. I failed my real crop test twice before I started to look for another preparation company.

it would be better if questions were asked same way as the actual SIE.

Exam questions cannot find any similarities from the real one

I enjoyed this style of learning compared to other study materials I have used. But I did find myself answering questions that I felt I did not see ANYWHERE in the course material and for those I had to rely on testing enough to know right from wrong

Preface: I passed SIE, Series 6, and FL Life Insurance and Variable Annuity exams on the first try using A.D. Banker. Previously, I obtained a BBA in Finance from Florida International University and am in my third year of being employed in the financial industry in a banker role. Here is my feedback: 1. For SIE and Series 6, your Zoom lecture model is out-of-date. There does not need to be live lectures with mandatory attendance every day for 4 to 4.5 hours a piece. Pre-record lectures and imbed them within your courses by chapters covered at the very least. Let there be a playback speed feature. Reasons: This allows students to go at their own pace and review specific topics/chapters that they are struggling with. It's more efficient and effective. Possible objection: What about questions that students have about content? Continue with the tutoring sessions. Let students bring their specific questions to you. 2. SIE only needs to be 3 weeks long. Week 1: read entire book. Week 2: Go through all recorded lectures. Week 3: Review - Read chapters again or rewatch lectures. Take exam. 3. Series 6 needs to be 3 weeks long not 2. Yes, it covers less content, but the content goes deeper into SIE covered content and the exam is much harder. Should have same schedule as SIE. 2 weeks was rushed and had I not had a strong financial background already, I am not confident A.D. Banker studying alone would have gotten me to pass within only 2 weeks of studying. 4. State life insurance courses: Give people a physical book. Reading online is proven to be less effective for the average student. Why would you not give a printed book like you did with SIE or Series 6? Unlike Series 6 and SIE, I found the time frame for the state licensing exam fairly reasonable. 5. Don't tell students not to use outside resources to pass the exam. I used Investopedia.com the entire time I used A.D. Banker to freshen up on certain concepts/terms I didn't understand/know throughout the training. I relied heavily on my BBA in Finance and 2+ years of banking experience to connect concepts and learn.

It definitely helps but a bit too simple and general. The real test is pretty much more difficult.

AD BAnker was a helpful self-study guide that helped me to pass my PL Insurance Agent Exam here in State of Virginia. During the study period, I realized it is not very inclusive and user -friendly. Some questions were debatable. Exam style is outdated. I witnessed during my official exam that unfortunately it did not prepare me 100% even though I managed to pass my exam in my first try.

Courses are too long and too dense. While I understand that they are made that way to guarantee passing, it is also obstructive and deterrent. It took me 6 weeks to study for my P&C. Up to the last chapter, I was still failing. I didn't even pass ADB's comprehensive exams. I passed state the exam at the passing mark. I ended up losing out on income because of how long it took to study. I did not retain the majority of the information I was forced to swat to pass. There was no celebration as I passed. Just relief. Can't believe my company is requiring that I take another one of their courses for another license. I'm dreading it. When people tell me they're taking an AD Banker course, my heart breaks for them. Go study on YouTube or something.

AD Banker provided concise information for the SIE, Series 6 & 63, & CA Life Insurance exams. I passed each exam on the first try. The instructors for the live sessions offered a pleasant learning experience. I would recommend AD Banker to revisit their comprehensive exam questions and refresh them - they seem far too simplistic compared to questions on the actual exams.

The material does not give enough examples. Breaking down a question would be helpful. Being able to have one day with just a full class of questions can help us take the test. Just 30 minutes of tutoring helps a bit. In-person classes can be a plus. the time frame we each get isn't enough especially for someone who does not have any experience in investments. The teachers are extremely nice and do try to help us as best as possible, however, some teachers bypass the chapters way too fast for us to ask questions.

AD Banker has been a helpful tool in my journey towards banker licensing. Their tutors/instructors are generally informative. My only hesitation is the glitches of the AD Banker website. It glitches more often than the staff acknowledges and this gets in the way of diligent studying. I hope AD Banker addresses the glitches.

The classes are very drawn out. They seem longer than the hours one is credited for.

My experience with AD Banker was, at best, acceptable. While they do provide all the necessary information, their class scheduling is quite limited, with only two sessions available per week, which can be challenging for individuals with a 9-5 work schedule. The quizzes presented during the course were excessively difficult and filled with verbose explanations. Additionally, the website's navigation was not user-friendly, making it a struggle to find what I needed. Frankly, I wouldn't have been able to pass without seeking external assistance.

I used Pass Perfect for almost all my studying which went a lot more in-depth and helped me understand concepts better. Your final practice exams are really good, but otherwise, I would not have used the program. Your instructors were great and were excellent at explaining the topics. But the online reading was abysmal. It also would've been nice to not be told from the beginning to not use any outside resources, especially when the outside sources supplemented and were better from the start.

I have used AD Banker for my SIE, series 63 and series 6. I thought the courses for the SIE and the series 63 were both very similar to the actual test and helped me prepared accordingly. However, the series 6 course has not been the same, I have taken the course now twice and each time my actual test has been vastly different than the course materials and the practice exams. There also seems to be some technical difficulties when it comes to the comprehensive exam grades, each time I take a comprehensive exam I have to back out of it, and then go back to the course to see my grade, rather than the course providing the grade once I'm complete.

Effective in helping me pass the State of Tennessee Insurance Exam. Took my SIE/S6/63 at another financial institution and the learning system was better.
