| ok, I am ready to take the plunge and become an EA. I know I need to study but how do I choose what course to take?
If you've been there, done that, what course worked for you? It's oh so hard to make a decision after tax season.... | |

| Take a look at Gleim. He has a 35-year track record in test prep. I used him for the CPA exam. Passed right out of school. | |

| Gleim is the best. I only used the books and got through it in one try. | |

| There have been several threads before ... IMHO, it depends on your learning style, how long you have been out of the classroom and your tax experience. If you are used to reading a lot of dry material and taking exams, Gleim and other are great. But, if like me, you been away from school and taxes for a lot of years, another approach may be more helpful. I am an audio visual learner ... I used Arthur Reed's lecture package from Lambers that include the WiseGuides book and self-testing software. Here is a link to page that provides a sample of his lecture videos Arthur Reed I went at this like a job, creating a study timetable and tracked my progress. By the time I was done ... I invested about 100hrs but passed on the first try ... back when it was a two day exam.
