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.
