Anyone use Gleim for the Enrolled Agent (EA) exam? Im using the IRS material right now but it seems like Gleim may be the smarter way to go

Is BEC content any similar to that of REG or FAR? Does it have a lot of calculations or mostly theory? Some people think BEC is the easiest section, but it has the lowest average passing percentage overall. So, I'm a little nervious about it.

 

I think BEC is the most enigmatic test; you never know what you are going to get.  Now, I have heard of people getting mostly theory questions and being done in under an hour.  My BEC in May was quite quantitative...I think a lot of people this past testing window felt that way.  I had just as many calculations as FAR.

Take care.

Can someone tell me what Gleim Online is like?  My Becker will expire before I even start to look at AUD, so I was thinking of going a cheaper route.  I'm thinking of just getting the book and the test prep, but am wondering what Gleim Online will get me.

Thanks

I can't recomend Gleim for AUD... If you really looking for cheap way - wiley might be the answer.

I have complete package from Gleim - book, audio CD, online, test-prep CD - and actually used only book and test-prep CD (and I have to supplement it with wiley book and textbook from college). Online is useless: presentation is just powerpoint slides with reading from book... All mcq are the same as in the book, only thing is different - simulations (but there are 20 sims in the book already)

I'm on my last unit of Gleim and taking the exam on July 17th.  Consistently throughout every unit, I've made notes from the Gleim book then done the MC at the end of the unit, then used the test prep CD and I've been doing fairly well (usually averaging 75 and above).  My problem is the Gleim units seem so long at times and then I go to the test prep cd and large amounts of the stuff I've made notes on never have any questions pertaining to them or not in as much detail.

Is it that Gleim has excessive content in hopes of covering every possible question?  Cause it feels like such a waste to try to memorize all those details and then not get questions on the with the testprep cd.  I'm going to do my final review shortly and don't want to get bogged down trying to learn too much.
