Enrolled Agent FAQs

When is the IRS Exam administered?

The IRS exam is administered each year from May 1 through February 28. . There is no testing in March or April.



Are the WiseGuides Study Guide materials updated for the current exam?

Yes. The Lesson Books, Question & Answer Software, and Internet materials have been updated to align with the current exam period May 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014. The current year's exam questions are based on tax law as of December 31, 2012. The EA Exam questions are always based on the prior year's tax law.


 

Is there a difference between the content in the Lesson Books and the Internet eCourse Lesson?

Each year the content in the Lesson Books (hard copy books) and the Internet eCourse Lessons starts out the same. However, as the exam year progresses and we become aware of new subtopics appearing on the exam, we udpate the Internet eCourse Lessons and Internet Questions & Answers to include the new subtopics. One of the advantages of using our Internet study materials is that it is based on the most up-to-date information available on the exam. Another great advantage of using our Internet study materials is that the eCourse Lessons are fully searchable, which provides the most efficient study process.


 What percentage of your customers pass the exam?

That is an excellent question. Due to privacy issues (exam scores are not public knowledge), there is no way we could honestly state a pass rate for our customers. We are aware that a few of our colleagues cite pass rates in their marketing materials. However, there is truly no way anyone would have a statistically valid pass rate unless all of their customers' scores were reported and tracked.

Most of our sales are referrals from successful IRS EA Exam candidates who used and recommended our product to their colleagues as comprehensive, up-to-date, cost effective, and efficient study materials to help PASS the Enrolled Agent Exam on the first try.

All WiseGuides study materials (except the eStudy Cards) come with a GUARANTEE TO PASS. We have helped candidates pass the EA Exam on the first try for over sixteen years and we know what it takes to pass this exam. Our exam candidates are coached to follow certain study protocols. Over the past three years, we have had only two (yes, just two) students exercise their guarantee. That's a pretty good track record, wouldn't you agree?
