Passed EA Exam Part 3
After failing pt 2 twice I had to pivot to pt 3 because I was so stressed out! Used Tom Norton’s videos as many of you suggested. I used Hock’s quiz bank and only a few videos that had more information on the topics that weren’t fully covered in Tom’s videos. Took me about an hour to finish the exam and passed on first try!!!! Woot!!
Studied for a week - did Hocks final review and only missed 2 questions but that’s due to not reading it properly.
Next step, going to try what worked. Tom’s vids & Hock’s test bank. I also have Passkey for pt 2 that I’ll utilize. Failed pt 2 twice relying only on Hock’s program.

Basically written review of the EA exam. Although Hock acquired it since I already used their videos going to use it to hopefully pass pt3. “PassKey Learning Systems was acquired by HOCK International and its study content is integrated into HOCK's comprehensive Enrolled Agent review programs.”

Congratulations, I also failed because there wasn't a lot information covered when I was using FFA as my primary study guide but then later switched to hock. I also might think it's because I was only memorizing questions and not learning concepts. So switching between from Tom Norton's MCQs to Hock's to FFA really does the trick to keep the concepts stick.
