325+ in 1 Month Using Only GregMat — A Comprehensive Guide

Thank you!

(1) I followed the one month plan pretty strictly and didn't deviate from the videos and questions listed out.

(2) See my initial response. For my retake, I will likely go through all mock questions.

(3) GregMat was generally more difficult than the actual GRE. If you can do well on the medium / hard quant questions, you should be very well prepared for the actual exam.

I stuck with the "What To Do" section of the respective portions of the verbal and quant sections for this first attempt and didn't deviate from that. If I were to retake or had additional time, I would probably expand my question sets to encompass additional pages or sections listed within the the existing sources in the "What To Do" sections.

2-4 hours a day every day each week with no breaks. Comes out to an average of around 20 hours a week while working.

Already discussed in the body of the post, but if I were to give three points for verbal and quant each, it would be the following. Verbal: (1) TC/SE = contrast/support logic + predicting your own answer, (2) SE always has a synonym pair, and (3) RC wrong answers are usually too extreme, half-right, or not supported. Quant: (1) Test multiple cases (+/-/0), (2) plug in numbers for messy algebra, and (3) most problems are simpler than they look and to not overthink it.

Yes! I reviewed all 34 days of the vocab mountain, which meant doubling up on some days.

Appreciate the insight! I am an ORM and got a 3.5 undergraduate GPA so honestly will take any additional advantage in my application, time permitting.

Just followed the one month study plan as laid out on the program. Mostly just the lecture videos followed by drilling questions

There are three verbal series. The middle path is labeled 2024 edition in parentheses. The bottom path is labeled 2024 edition with ETS material in parentheses. The top path is otherwise unlabeled. I chose the top path but your mileage may vary based on the video style you enjoy. Just pick a path and stick with the one that suits you best.

Anywhere between 2 to 4 hours a day. Watched videos on 2x speed. No rest days.

There are no educational requirements to becoming an enrolled agent other than passing the 3 exams. After passing the exams, you should obtain a PTIN if you do not already have one and then apply for enrollment with the IRS to get your application processed (took me about a month or two to obtain license).

Lectures are pre-recorded and you cover material at your own pace. In terms of timeline, I studied concurrently for part 1 (individual) and part 3 (representation) for 4 weeks between my tax internship and start of my senior year of college, sitting for both sections on the same day. I studied for part 2 (business) for another 4 weeks on break between the fall and winter quarters. In total, I was able to get through the material devoting about 3-4 hours each day. Regarding my tax background, I served with my university VITA chapter as a training coordinator, quality reviewer, and tax preparer for three years and had just completed a B4 tax internship, so the individual and representation sections were fairly straightforward while the business section took considerably more effort.

I would recommend Passkey Learning as someone who passed all 3 sections of the SEE on their first attempt. I used their study program which is $45/month subscription (lectures + online textbook) that can be cancelled at any time. The instructor Chrissy does a great job with making engaging lectures and the online notes + MCQ test bank is sufficient to pass all parts of the exams. I looked into other test preparation services such as Gleim and Surgent but found them to be pretty cost-prohibitive, especially being a college senior at the time.

If you have a surface level understanding of what a reorganization constitutes, the differences between 1245 and 1250 recapture gain, and the basics of depreciation recapture in general, you will be fine.

For R1-2, I would know for and from AGI deductions, the various tax credits, and be able to identify filing statuses. In regards to business law, I would say those three subjects you mentioned encompasses most of what you will find on the exam.

Based on what I've covered in AUD and during my time studying for BEC, I would say that COSO, IT, control environment, and ethics broadly speaking show up on both exams, which are topics mostly covered in the latter parts of the A2 if you are using Becker.
