Hey, welcome to VoraPrep Audio. Today's episode is from our EA Exam Strategy Masterclass: "Beating the Blackout: Timing Your EA Exam Around Tax Deadlines".

March and April are completely blacked out for testing. Here is how to plan your 3 parts between May and February.

Ava: Marcus, tax professionals have intense busy seasons. How can someone working at a firm realistically pass all three parts in one year?

Marcus: You map around the May-to-February testing cycle. If you study 8 to 10 hours a week from June through December, you can easily take Part 1 in July, Part 2 in October, and Part 3 in December.

Ava: And when tax season arrives in January, you are already an Enrolled Agent. You can immediately sign returns as an EA and represent clients before the IRS.

Marcus: If you want to put this exact strategy into practice with thousands of blueprint-aligned questions and an authentic exam simulator, head over to voraprep.com. Start your free trial today—no credit card required.

Ava: See you in the next masterclass.
