I completed the Diagnostic Quiz in Gleim for Study Units 1, 2, and 3 and did not perform as expected in units 2 and 3, respectively. I used the elimination method but was unsure of the correct answer, either by failing to understand the question or assuming that the answer was incorrect. Study Unit 1 1.1 Practitioners - 86% 1.2 Tax Return Preparers - 77% Study Unit 2 2.1 Licensing and Disciplinary Systems - 67% 2.2 State Law Liability to Clients and Third Parties - 55% 2.3 Privileged Communication and Confidentiality - 43% Study Unit 3 3.1 Tax Authority - 40% 3.2 Tax Procedures - 29% 3.3 Tax Planning - 50% 3.4 Filing Status - 25% 3.5 Dependents - 100% The plan is to dedicate more time to studying and understanding the materials and questions. I use Rogers and Gleims review courses, and both have enough depth and materials needed for me to succeed. My focus for the next couple of weeks is to dedicate study hours daily and continue to answer practice questions. I tried this approach for the EA certification using Gleim study material, and it was successful
