Clarity Tax Relief · Trainee Academy

Clarity EA Study Course

The companion to the EA Training Guide. The guide shows you the road; this course teaches the tax material you'll be tested on — one lesson per official exam topic, each with its own practice quiz.

📚 13 lessons · 9 full-length practice exams · 541 flashcards · 1,203 exam-style questions, mapped subtopic-by-subtopic to every named topic in the IRS's own content outline. Every lesson ends with a quiz, every part has three 100-question timed exams, and every miss goes on your Miss List.

Start here: the 12-week fast track

Everything below is organised by topic, but topics are not a schedule. If you want the fastest route that still leaves the material in your head, follow the plan. It maps every study day for twelve weeks, one exam part per month, with the review spaced so Part 1 is still solid when you sit Part 2.

👉 Open the 12-Week Fast-Track Study Plan — 4 weeks per part, about 12 hours a week, with tick-off days and a go/no-go readiness check before each exam.

Two tools support it every day: the flashcard deck for the rules, thresholds and deadlines you simply have to know cold, and the full-length practice exams for pacing and stamina. The deck schedules itself — cards you know come back less often, cards you miss come back next session.

How to use this course

One lesson at a time. Read it, then take its quiz immediately — no peeking back while you answer.
Every miss goes on your Miss List. Re-answer misses from memory on day 1, day 3, and day 7 (the method is in the guide, Section 7).
Finished a part's lessons? Sit a full-length practice exam. 100 questions in 3.5 hours — the real exam's exact length, format and topic mix, graded at the end with a topic-by-topic score report. Three versions per part (A, B, C) so you can sit a fresh one each time.
Follow the schedule, don't invent one. The 12-week fast-track plan lays out every study day, with the review spaced so you retain each part instead of forgetting it while studying the next.
Re-quiz before test day. The quizzes reset every time you reload the page — retake them until a perfect score is boring.

The fast track is one part a month. Four weeks per part: two weeks of lessons, one week of practice exams, one week of review, then you sit it. Part 1 first, Part 3 second, Part 2 last. Every day is mapped out in the 12-week study plan.
