The Enrolled Agent credential is conferred and regulated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
[1] The exam consists of three parts: All of the questions on the examination are weighted equally, and the IRS grades the test on a bell curve.
Currently, the Special Enrollment Examination is given at nearly 300 Prometric testing centers located across the United States and internationally.
Each section can be taken up to four times in a testing window, and the score credit carries over for up to two years from the date of the examination.
There are no tests available during the months of March and April, at which time the exams are updated with the latest changes in the laws and the regulations.
