How to pass the Enrolled Agents exam
"After failing and losing my confidence, I gave up. Somehow I realized that I must get back up and try again. FINALLY I passed and can cross this off my list!""
How I did it: I signed up for a workshop and the first thing the instructor said was "if you think you CAN'T, then just give up now". She said it is doable, you just have to put in the time to study and have CONFIDENCE. Although she did give us pointers, like what areas to study heavily, I do think that one needs to study and stop worrying so much. I also studied using a CD that uses questions from prior years' tests, read IRS Publications, instructions to forms, and became familiar with the various forms.
