Editorial Reviews

Review

I liked the EA Exam review book, and the way you present a chapter and afterwards you have questions.

The presentation of the book and the flow of information is also good. I also liked the EA information you present at the beginning with pass rates, etc. ----Alfonso Lara, Founder of The Tax College

I am still using the book therefore this review will be on what I have observed thus far. The study guide is easy to use and my only problem is that some of the questions are in the wrong section. For instance, at the end of each section there is a series of questions which is suppose to be for the material that was just covered. I noticed that there were questions that were not covered in the previous material but are covered in the next section.

This review is from: EA Exam Review Part 1: Individuals IRS Enrolled Agent Exam Study Guide 2009-2010 Edition (Perfect Paperback)

This is far and away the best EA book out there, in my opinion, and I've seen a few. The info is precise. It is well written but more important than that is the way the material is presented. You have the "meat" of the material presented in the chapter. Then you have a series of questions. But it's not just a question and answer. The book does give you the answer to the multiple choice question but it also briefly discusses the salient IRS rules relating to the question. So the Q & A section is about the same size as the "meat" section. The discussion of the question reinforces my understanding of the IRS rule. I also note the questions that I initially got wrong, and will go back over just those questions before the EA test. This book gives me confidence that I'll do Ok on the EA Exam.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good format, but full of typos and other more serious errors, August 26, 2009

This review is from: EA Exam Review Part 1: Individuals IRS Enrolled Agent Exam Study Guide 2009-2010 Edition (Perfect Paperback)

Almost every page has some kind of error. A form number changes mid paragraph, the spelling of a person's name changes within the example. It's as if no one bothered to proofread the book - it wouldn't even take someone with a tax background. I'm going to shop around for an alternative for parts 2 and 3...
