If you are a tax practitioner looking into EA prep classes, Varsity Tutors can help you find an EA course to help you become more confident heading into test day. Enrolled Agents or EA's are federally-licensed practitioners who represent taxpayers to the IRS. To become an EA, you must pass the EA exam. If you feel that you could benefit from an EA prep course, please reach out to use for more info today.
EA applicants need to pass the exam in order to be able to show the IRS that they are capable in all areas of taxation. Below is a table that shows you the format and scoring possibility of the Special Enrollment Exam or SEE:
Question Format | # Questions | Scoring Range |
Multiple-Choice | 100 | 40 to 130 |
One great advantage of EA prep courses is the ability to study the concepts that you need the most help with. If you are still stuck on income and assets, your tutor can spend some time working on it with you until you are comfortable during your EA class. When you are ready to move on to taxation and advice, your tutor can shift the gears to focus on it during your EA course instead.
Another great thing about a Varsity Tutors EA prep class is that you have no time constraints. If you feel that you need to take longer in a certain topic, you may spend as many EA class sessions you need studying it.
You can also ask your instructor questions and get answers promptly, allowing you to address your concerns before they turn into problems for you. For instance, if you are having trouble figuring out the meaning of a procedure or practice, your instructor can break it down for you during your EA courses to make sure you understand it right away. This immediate response means that you will be able to get your question answered and move on quickly, making use of your study time.
Your tutor can dive into the format and contents of the SEE with you. Below is a SEE breakdown:
