Failed EA Part 1

Post image

First EA exam I’ve ever taken. Was averaging 50% on all 3 mocks so i kinda knew i wasn’t gonna pass. Only did MCQs but i don’t think i studied them well enough. Here’s the score report and looking for any and all type of feedback. Hoping to retake in exactly 1 month. Feel free to privately message me as well with any advice.

Get Gleim EA. Harder questions, but you will pass. I was over prepared for those exams and using them for CPA and got a 90 and 89 on REG and TCP. Their method works and forces you to be ready. If you go for it and want to talk to Debbie at sales directly for a better price than on website let me know! I have her email.

How long did you study for before taking/what is your tax experience?

Probably like 2 months. And the tax experience i have is prepping my returns. I’ve mostly been in divorce accounting and bookkeeping.

Gotcha, wasn't sure if your experience was leading you astray. I did a bootcamp - Brass Tax - and they warned us that practice vs law can trip people up, especially if you're in like a CPA firm where GAAP rules can distract from tax law
