Download EA Exam Notes – Part 3I did the Passkey training course and it was very good (I don’t work for them, I just think their videos are great). I watched all of the videos, covering at most one section per day. I also took the notes I made from the videos. After each section, I did practice questions. I read some sections of the online book, mostly to clarify anything that I wasn’t clear on from the videos.
Then some number of days before the test you should do practice random practice questions every day until you get to the point that you’re getting 80-90% of them right. The Passkey system explains the answers after you do each question, so you can learn a lot that way. Then I studied all my notes for a couple hours just before the test to remember all the dollar amounts, forms, dates, etc.
