I passed the exam! I used almost the entire question bank and expect to use it even more for the next part of the exam. The questions are very complete and allowed me to integrate the concepts well.
This is an actual question from Part 1, Unit 1 — free, no sign-up. Answer it and the rule appears immediately, with the section you can check it against.
For 2025, a person generally cannot be claimed as a taxpayer’s qualifying relative if that person’s gross income is at least:
Explanations point to the IRC section, IRS Publication, or form instruction — so you can check the source and trust your own judgment, no instructor required.
Written from primary sources for the tax year currently tested. No recycled content from other banks.
Everything an independent candidate needs to go it alone — at a fraction of what the big review courses charge, with free units to start.
The IRS Special Enrollment Examination has three parts. Study each one on its own or work through all three.
Income, deductions, credits, property transactions, and individual returns.
Entities, methods, income, deductions, property, partnerships, corporations, and specialized business returns.
Circular 230 practice, preparers, representation, examination, appeals, collections, and filing.
The correct answer and its explanation appear the moment you answer, so mistakes turn into understanding right away.
Answers stay hidden until you finish, then you get your score, a topic breakdown, and a full review, just like the real test.
A question bank is worth exactly what its answer key is worth, and checking a key costs far more than writing one. Here is what we actually do about that.
Part 1 questions read against the law. Every one answered blind by a reviewer working without the key, then argued against the Code, the regulations and IRS guidance before that key was allowed to stand.
Defects that audit found — in our own questions. Fourteen were wrong answers. All 38 are now corrected against a primary source or deleted outright.
Item-writing faults we rewrite against. Parts 1 and 2 have been through it completely: no answer that gives itself away by being the longest, no invented terms, no question that tests reading speed instead of tax.
Coin-flip answers left in Part 1. Two options never give the same figure and differ only in the sentence attached, so getting the tax right is never followed by a guess.
The part you cannot see from outside is not the questions that are there. It is the ones that aren’t. Judge the Part 1 questions yourself — free, no sign-up.
Free units stay free forever. Premium unlocks the complete question bank for all three parts, every unit, every explanation.

You've scored 75% or higher once or twice. You're close — a couple more strong runs and it's locked in.
