4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Gleim EA Review Books, August 22, 2010

I spent approx. $700 on the Gleim EA study materials and this book was better. Although the $700 was for all 3 parts of the exam; I did pass parts 1 and 3 with the help of Gleim. But did not pass part 2 until I got this book. (Second try I passed Part 2.) This book is extremely well written. And it's clear the authors and also tax pros. The Gleim books are really poorly written. Very unclear and convoluted. I would not waste the money on Gleim like I did. The good thing with Gleim is that SOME of their practice questions are very close to SOME of the actual questions on the exam. Maybe 5 out of 100. This book explains things in a very clear-cut, easy to understand way. I would recommend it highly. I did not give it 5 stars because I do believe they need to add more practice questions or offer software with additional questions for practice purposes. Otherwise, for the money, it's worth every cent!

I have passed PART II business today 7/31. This is a good book to solid all TAX CONCEPTS/FOUNDATION and very EASY to UNDERSTAND. In addition, you need another Questions and Answers type of book to secure what you learn from the book. YES, the SCOPE of this test is VERY HUGE. Regarding the chapter of TRUSTS and ESTATES, simply notify the publication and they are very happy to email you back the chapter. Anyway, this is a user-friendly book.

I have been doing Tax Preparation for the past 10 years with H&R Block. In preparation for EA exams, I used their computer base programs for Part 1 and Part 3, which allowed me to passed the exams. But I spent a lot of wasted time and repetative work studing.

I was told Part 2 Buisness was the toughest Exam, so I thought I needed some additional information to pass Part 2: Buisness. I searched out and found this book to prepare me much better than the H&R courses. It is much more informative and easier to understand. Some of my associates spent a lot more money on other computer based programs and found them to be somewhat difficult to understand. Plus they tied you to the computer for hours on end. After reading PassKey Part 2, I feel much more confident on passing SEE Part 2 and will be attempting the test in early January.

If I known about the other books by PassKey before taking the SEE 1 and SEE 3, I would have purchased the entire set to better prepare me and not wasted hours on programs that did not prepare you as well as this book and the series of PassKey books.

PassKey is a great way to go and get your Enrolled Agent status.
