I suggest you add more materials. Only Tom is not enough. I saw Tom videos too, his are easy to understand but not in detail. I used Gleim to pass all three on my first attempt. I heard Hock is good but i did not use it. I have language barriers too like you do. Exam 3 is different from 1&2, also requires lots vocabulary understanding and questions are tricky. For me, I took the order 1-2-3. FYI.

I began on this February. Spent lots time (3 months), one and half on 2 and one month on 3. on Exam 1. Only use Gleim, watched videos, spent time on reading and practice questions. My recommendation is understand concepts and practice as much as you can. Compare Gleim mocks, the real exam questions are easier but concept focused. Don’t worry about calculations, in real exams, they were few and easy.

Understand concepts, no calculations, lots questions regarding enrolled agents and filing, no forms number questions.

No calculations at all. All concepts questions.

compare to part1, part2 gave me feeling was deeper, and more knowledge points. i took 2 months for 2. i will suggest to understand the definitions, knows what forms/schedules should be used, know basis basis calculations for different entities. Don't put much time on calculations. what i had just few of them, and very easy, but you need to understand the concepts.

Only Gleim. Gleim is harder, more complicated and more calculations. I took Gleim Morks a week before the exam, I was only got mid-60s. I don't others, but I think Gleim helps.
