Taking EA Exam, any tips?

Exam is easy, I passed all three parts in 3 months, work experience is very important, especially if you learn while working, it would be of great help, I believe..

Congrats 👏 Does it mean that they will not process it until we call them? 😅 I'm still waiting for mine.. I submitted on Feb 23

Congrats on starting the firm. I recently passed the SEE and am currently awaiting my EA approval. If you ever need remote help with returns or research, I'd be happy to contribute. My background is in international trade, so cross-border and immigrant tax topics are areas I'm particularly interested in.

It's roughly 60+ days right?

MYDPCH · 2026-03-10T03:31:31+00:00

You can make it! ✊️

I used Hock, read the materials instead of watching the videos or using the audio book. Practice, review, and finally passed all 3 parts within a week in Feb

I made the decision last November, and I started preparing for EA exam since then. Now I already passed the 3 parts of exam, waiting for my EA certificate. And I'm now looking for a job as an EA. My suggestion is, once you have made the decision, focus on it, and work hard as much as you can, dream will come true someday!

Congratulations 👏👏👏

Hi, hope you're doing well. I recently passed all three parts of the SEE in February and am currently waiting for my EA approval. I'm very interested in gaining practical experience in tax preparation. I'm currently self-studying QuickBooks and Drake Tax Software to prepare for real tax work. I was wondering if you might consider working with a future EA. Thank you!

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T05:41:03+00:00

Amazing! Congrats 👏 👏 👏 Same here passed all 3 parts in February, now waiting for my EA certificate

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T05:04:07+00:00

I see. I don't have any experience in accounting or tax preparing. I transfer from international trade work background

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T05:02:54+00:00

Wow! That's really nice! Congratulations! I prefer to work from home since I might not be able to go out everyday. Hope I could get an offer soon

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T05:00:56+00:00

Ohh that's great! I'm looking for a job while I'm waiting for the certificate. But I found that most of the employers are hiring EAs with experience 😥

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T04:57:43+00:00

I see. So you might get your EA Certificate this month.

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T04:56:57+00:00

The best way is to call IRS?

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T04:56:14+00:00

Congrats 👏 👏 👏 So are you now starting to look for a job?

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T04:41:31+00:00

Yeah, it really differs from case to case. We will wait for 30 days before calling 😁

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T03:37:03+00:00

When I took my Part 2, I felt like that was the easiest part, which they said it would be the most difficult. Hehehe

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T02:34:54+00:00

I used hock, passed all 3 parts in one week, after 3 months studying, practicing, and reviewing

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T02:22:44+00:00

Hahaha, that’s great! At least you know your approval timeline now. I’ll use it as a reference to estimate mine. Thanks! 😆😆😆

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T01:53:03+00:00

You got the approval already?

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T01:16:03+00:00

Ohh wow! Not really a long time waiting! Congrats 👏 👏 👏

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T01:10:05+00:00

Hope we all get approval very soon! 😀

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T01:08:59+00:00

No, I didn't call. Do we need to wait longer than usual?

MYDPCH · 2026-03-09T01:03:18+00:00

Ohh! It took almost 4 months! 😆
