Results of Enrolled Agent Exam Pass Rate Survey for Fast Forward Academy EA Test Prep Materials

Enrolled Agent Exam First Attempt Pass Rate for Fast Forward Academy EA Test Prep Materials

FIRST ATTEMPT EA Pass Rate

A candidate must pass three exams before the IRS may admit the individual to practice as an Enrolled Agent. 80.0% of our students who report passing all three exams do so on their first attempt.

An education provider does not receive official notification from Prometric or the IRS regarding student results on the enrolled agent exam. Prometric informs each candidate directly of his or her performance, and for this reason, a provider must rely on student feedback to measure program effectiveness. The feedback we receive is a result of ongoing surveys we send by e-mail. We use the responses from the survey to calculate our pass rate. While we send the survey to all users of our study tools, not everyone responds. Our published pass rate only reflects responses we receive, and a pass rate based on this information is only an estimate of student success.

This is real-time data! We send the survey when a student stops answering questions in the online test-bank and practice exams. It is important to note that the system only allows one answer per student, although we do allow the student to update his or her response. Whichever choice is made, the information is sent directly to our server, which immediately publishes the results on our website. Not all choices are favorable to us, and we do not review or manipulate the responses in any way.

As of today, the total of student responses to our survey is 2,902. Some of those students are still in the process of taking the exams. Students who are working on the exams, and students who have neither passed nor failed but have elected to discontinue pursuit of the EA designation are not part of the pass rate calculation. We may include these students in the calculations if we later receive a response notifying us of a change in status. Of the 1,045 students who indicate completing the examination process, 1,027 report passing all three exams and 18 indicate that they failed and are no longer pursuing the EA. Passing all three exams on the first try is a key indicator of quality and 836 of our students report passing on the first attempt. This indicates a "first try" pass rate of 80.0%.

What about those who are not done with all three examinations but indicate they are still working towards it? Of the 1,735 students who say that they are not finished with all three exams, 159 report failing an exam. This represents 9.2% of the respondents who are still working on passing all three exams. The other 1,576 students indicate that they are still working on the exams, but did not indicate failing a test.

The survey is comprised of one question, "It's been at least a month since you last used our free online test bank or took a Practice Exam so we were curious if congratulations are in order. Did you pass ALL three (3) parts of the SEE to earn the Enrolled Agent (EA) designation?" The student can then respond by simply clicking one of the following:

Yes, I Passed ALL Parts on My First Attempt to Become an Enrolled Agent (EA);
Yes, I Passed to Become an Enrolled Agent (EA);
No, I'm Still Working Towards Earning the EA;
No, I Failed a Part and I'm Still Working On It;
No, I Failed a Part and I'm NOT Going to Continue;
No, I'm No Longer Pursuing the EA Designation.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any comments, suggestions, or questions regarding our survey.

This is to inform you that I recently passed all three SEE examinations. I could not have done so without the information I received from your website. Thank you again!!!
Lemuel C.

I used your questions and answers to prepare for the business part of the EA exam. I feel it greatly enhanced my understanding of the material and more closely mirrored (compared to my other study material ) the type of questions that were on the exam. I would highly recommend to all students. Thanks.

Just wanted to let you know that the EA Study Guide and Online Questions were very very helpful to me. I passed SEE Part 2 (I'd already passed parts 1 and 3) and I'm now an Enrolled Agent.
Steve B.

Dear Rain Hughes, I am so pleased with your study guide. I took Part 2 of the EA today and passed!!!!!! Thank you for writing this book and putting the free test bank on your site. I can say that you are the reason ( after the grace of god), that I have passed this test. I will be recommending your website and book to everyone. Just today, I mentioned your website, FastforwardAcademy.com to someone who is interested in taking the EA. I have passed all three parts! Thanks again for all your material.

Thank you Matt, I take my third test tomorrow. Your service is great and I have passed my first two thanks to your training and testing. I just finished up my first run on the simulated test but have to run out for a while. I will get back to it later today. Thanks again,

Thank you for your rapid response to my questions. … Your material seems better than others because it seems to hit what is on the exam and I am not wasting my time studying thousands of pages of worthless material.
Rick F.

I have already passed all sections of the exam. I passed each one on the first try.
Amanda S.

Yes, I had passed all the 3 parts of the test and I passed on the first attempt! Thank you so much for all the questions available for studying. I could not have not been able to pass without taking the time to go over and over through the questions, and practice exams.
Marcela B.

I want to thank you and your team for providing the necessary resources that permitted me to pass all three parts of the SEE exam on the first try. It was an incredible feeling to see the screen pop up upon completion of the three exam parts offering up congratulations on passing those parts. I would not hesitate to recommend your course materials to anyone hoping to become an EA. I have already signed up for your continuing professional education course materials as well. Thanks again for the help and assistance. Very truly yours

Sonny S.

Thank you so much for providing me with amazing tools to pass the Enrolled Agent exam on the first try. The test bank builds confidence and knowledge that far surpasses the typical reading material one can find out there.
Stuart G.

Hello, I just want to write in and tell Fast Forward how pleased I am with your website and study guide. I passed the first section (Individuals) of the Enrolled Agent exam and am so excited! I couldn't have done it without your help either. I put in the time studying, with the help of your study guide, and went through all the free test questions in the test bank repeatedly (there are so many of them). This was enough to help me pass! :-)
Sherry S.

I am thrilled to report that I have just passed all three parts of the S.E.E.- and on the first attempt, as well! As a retired elementary school schoolteacher, I spent 30 years preparing third graders to take the various state exams, and so when I decided to tackle the EA- after only one year of preparing taxes for H & R Block (limited to primarily 1040EZs, since it was my first year)- I knew that it would benefit me to find a resource that would give me insight into the depth and type of questions and in what format I would find them. I went online and found your book to study for background knowledge, multiple practice exams that not only told me exactly what to expect and how to more efficiently utilize my study time, suggestions on how to take a test and where to find previous IRS exams, but perhaps most importantly for me as a learner, gave me correct answers to the multiple choice practice questions and a thorough explanation as to why they were right. That is what set it apart from any other resources I perused online. I made a notebook of all the Fast Forward Academy questions by chapter (with the answers and the explanations) and used them like flashcards in doctors' waiting rooms, during television commercials, and sitting in the car at red lights. It worked! Thank you so much!
Janet L.

I wanted to tell you that I passed all 3 parts of the enrolled agent exam. I took part 3 the first week in September. You were right, it was the easiest of the 3 parts and I did not need all of the time alloted. Thanks for all your support. I believe that you have a good product and I really could not have done this so fast without it.
Janice

I just took the last segment of the SEE exams. I took them in the following other: SEE I, SEE II and SEE III. I am happy to inform you that I just join the group of candidates who pass the three exams at first sitting. Thank you for your wonderful materials and support.
Oyekan R.

Just wanted to let you know that I had taken the test before and failed, but the Fast Forward Academy study guide and tools gave me the edge to pass. I took all 3 parts of the SEE and passed all 3 and it was a lot of help using the Fast Forward. Thanks.
Ron J.

I passed all parts of the SEE on the first time. It was a hard series of exams and I can truly say that FFA materials and online exams were crucial to my success. I really appreciated the almost instantaneous feedback on any question I sent to you. You offer a wonderful service that really helps people grasp the intricacies of the tax code and helps them succeed on the exams. Thanks so much! I look forward to linking up with FFA as I need to complete my CE.
Larry H.

I passed all three portions of the exam on first attempt within a thirty day window. Using your study program was a great help - particularly the practice exams. Thank you for creating a great product.
Adam C.

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for your help in passing the EA exam. Your test bank was invaluable in preparing me for the exam. The ability to go though questions with such detailed explanations really gave me the edge I needed to pass all parts.

Thought I would share the good news with you!! There is no way I would have passed without the FFA test bank. I went over and over those questions, close to 1,200 times. Part 1 of the Enrolled Exam for me is in the book, no pun intended!!

I have taken all three exams and passed on the first try. Your system is amazing and I felt "over prepared" for my tests :) After all the questions and practice tests, the actual test was great!
