If you don’t mind me asking are you doing EA in place of CPA? At PwC it fulfills the licensing requirement to make manager but is generally frowned upon

I ordered PassKey from Amazon and used this plus online practice exams. I was lucky enough to have a friend who was studying and let me use her log in for the Fast Forward Academy practice exams.

Purchased Passkey and practice questions off of Amazon and they came in clutch. Very affordable too.

I did Wise Guides and it was pretty easy. But now I have no use for my EA as I switched out of tax as fast as possible

Passkey - get the online questions and don’t buy the book. If you’ve been working in tax a while you likely don’t need to study much.

Thanks everyone !
