I know there are a couple, and actually I don't think its
too late to get the material. If I was in my office right
now I could tell you what I used several years ago, but hey
even I don't go into the office on Saturday mornings in
August!

Read the IRS Publications.

One of the questions on the 1997 exam in the partnership
section was practically word-for-word one of the examples
in the partnership publication!

Practice. You can get old tests from the IRS website. Read
the IRS pubs. Perhaps do a course or two. If you are going
to any of the remaining tax forums, check around, there are
a few companies that offer them.

As a Veteran of the Examination Wars, I can tell you with
certainty if you do not know the material cold from tax
practice, you had better have studied excessively.

It's too late for this year's EA exam, but does anyone
know who of a vendor of EA Exam Preparation Software?

I swear by Total Tape (Bisk Publishing) and MicroMash.

Susan passed Parts I and II of the Certified Internal
Auditor Exam in the first sitting and Part III in the
second sitting. Part IV (Accounting) was giving her a
fit. I got her the Prep Software for Part IV from
MicroMash and she passed it in the next sitting.
