<em>does <\/em>make perfect. And it&#8217;s clear they&#8217;re doing something right. Gleim states, &#8220;For over 20 years, more EAs have passed with Gleim than any other EA exam prep provider.&#8221;<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the preferred provider of the National Association of Tax Professionals, Gleim&#8217;s methodology focuses on deep learning and topic comprehension, so students not only pass but actually retain the information they&#8217;ve spent so much time learning. It&#8217;s no surprise that Gleim recently celebrated their 50th anniversary because the companies who care about their customers&#8217; success (and win awards for their customer service) are the companies that create lasting legacies.<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cI used Gleim and was averaging in the 70s for the study units for

id=\"h-how-gleim-and-surgent-ea-review-courses-compare\"><strong>How Gleim and Surgent EA Review Courses Compare<\/strong><\/h2> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Gleim and Surgent have unique strengths, making them excellent choices for different types of learners. Here\u2019s how they compare in key areas:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>High-Quantity Question Bank:<\/strong> While both prep providers offer stellar-quality practice questions, Gleim has 1,500+ additional test bank entries.<\/li> <li><strong>Dig Deeper:<\/strong> Surgent\u2019s study method is designed for efficiency. Gleim wants students to dig deep and fully understand the material, boosting their chances of passing.<\/li> <li><strong>Above and Beyond Support:<\/strong> Gleim offers accounting experts to answer all of your questions, so you&#8217;ll never get stuck while studying, on top of multiple support channels and coaching.<\/li> <li><strong>Exclusive Bonus Tools:<\/strong> From final review materials to a study planner to up to 72 hours of free CPE, Gleim has unparalleled bonuses students won&#8217;t want to miss out on.<\/li> <li><strong>Slight Price Advantage:<\/strong> While prices are relatively comparable, students on a strict budget will appreciate saving $200 on the highest tier package compared to Surgent.<\/li> <\/ul> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, now you have an idea of what <em>I<\/em> think, but the perfect prep course is different for everyone. I highly encourage you to follow me as I uncover the finer details of both courses so you can choose which course best fits your goals.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-course-features\"><strong>Course Features<\/strong><\/h2> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learning-materials\"><strong>Learning Materials<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s talk about the learning materials you&#8217;re getting with each prep provider to figure out if their resources will fit your learning style.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The highlight of <strong>Gleim&#8217;s<\/strong> teaching tools is the SmartAdapt\u2122 course, which uses adaptive learning technology to help students study more efficiently. The tool identifies your topic strengths and weaknesses as you progress through the course and practice materials, encouraging you to take advantage of opportunities to study topics that will have the most positive effect on your exam score. Students can also access digital and printed books, video and audio lectures, a customizable study planner, and detailed performance reports to monitor their progress.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, <strong>Surgent&#8217;s<\/strong> full course bundle uses &#8220;proprietary predictive AI technology.&#8221; I&#8217;m not a tech expert, but it&#8217;s very similar to Gleim&#8217;s adaptive learning technology in that it tracks your progress, informs you of your weak points, and gives dynamic recommendations for what to study next. Also, like Gleim, you can receive printed and digital textbooks, as well as audio and video lectures.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Though both providers offer similar study tools, Gleim offers a few more, winning the round.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practice-and-review-materials\"><strong>Practice and Review Materials<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gleim <\/strong>EA Prep<strong> <\/strong>is known for its top-quality question banks, which remain highlights across every exam review course. With Gleim&#8217;s EA Test Bank, you&#8217;re unlocking over 3,500 multiple-choice practice questions alongside resources like detailed answer explanations, unlimited practice exams, digital flashcards, final review mode, and up to six full-length mock exams.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, Gleim\u2019s practice questions are much harder than what you\u2019ll find on the exam, which many students mark as a selling point:<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cThey make the questions more difficult than the actual exam to over prep, and in a way, I think I\u2019d prefer it that way. I\u2019d rather be over prepared than be on the level of the exam. So, I would recommend the Gleim program.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><cite><strong>u\/<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/taxpros\/comments\/q1v5wq\/gleim_vs_surgent_or_others_ea_exam_prep\/\"><strong>Squirrel_Wizard<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, <strong>Surgent&#8217;s <\/strong>EA Exam prep offers only around 2,000 multiple-choice questions. And, while the quality is still outstanding, it&#8217;s a clear downgrade from Gleim&#8217;s question banks, which offer nearly twice as many questions. Surgent also offers unlimited practice exams featuring their proprietary ReadySCORE\u2122 technology, which helps students determine what they can expect their score to be on the actual exam with, as they report, 98% accuracy.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Gleim offers nearly double the number of practice questions Surgent does, as well as final review material to try to earn some last-minute knowledge for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/careers-education\/enrolled-agent-exam-guide\/\">EA exam<\/a>.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-audio-and-video-lectures\"><strong>Audio and Video Lectures<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Gleim and Surgent&#8217;s EA Exam reviews feature audio and video lectures, with roughly the same number of content hours given by both providers. So, the real differentiator here is the quality, entertainment value, and how well they actually work to help you pass the EA exam.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gleim <\/strong>offers 30+ hours of video content via the Gleim Instruct Video Series alongside audio-only versions. These virtual lectures are led by head instructor Nate Wadlinger, who Gleim describes as &#8220;a CPA, attorney, and Lecturer in Taxation at Florida State University.&#8221; But he&#8217;s also a beloved professor, sporting a 4.8-star average rating on Rate My Professors, where his most frequent tags include &#8220;hilarious,&#8221; &#8220;caring,&#8221; and &#8220;amazing lecturer.&#8221;<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratemyprofessors.com\/rating\/39898629?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=prof_rating\"> student<\/a> describes Professor Wadlinger, <\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;Best accounting professor at UCF, makes classes fun and engaging. [&#8230;] He actually cares about the success of his students. Really enjoyed taking his class.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Surgent<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t necessarily have the same star power, but they feature 60+ bite-sized videos that may be especially appealing for the modern learner with a hectic schedule. After all, Surgent is designed to shorten your study time. And naturally, that includes audio lecture versions as well. Surgent&#8217;s biggest advantage here is its iOS and Android mobile app, allowing students to watch videos and listen to lessons on the go.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Gleim&#8217;s engaging and entertaining lectures featuring Nate Wadlinger grab your attention and don&#8217;t let go, making it an invaluable resource for auditory and visual learners.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-technology\"><strong>Technology<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gleim&#8217;s<\/strong> technology selects the &#8220;quality over quantity&#8221; approach, appearing primarily in their SmartAdapt\u2122 course. Again, SmartAdapt\u2122 uses adaptive learning technology to help students identify and strengthen their weak points, boosting their scores on exam day.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Surgent<\/strong>, however, thrives in the technology arena. Not only is their proprietary predictive AI technology considered some of the best in the industry, but their ReadySCORE\u2122 technology is an unparalleled study tool to assess exam readiness (again, with 98% accuracy!).<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surgent<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surgent.com\/exam-review\/readyscore\/\"> student<\/a> Tanner Thompson sings ReadySCORE&#8217;s praises:<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cMy ReadySCOREs were all between 81 and 85 and I passed all tests with scores between 88 and 96. I felt it prepared me more than adequately and in very little time compared to other programs.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Surgent grabs a category win thanks to their innovative, science-driven methodologies and resources.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-student-support\"><strong>Student Support<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, let&#8217;s talk about the levels of support you get from each provider.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Gleim and Surgent both offer support via email, phone, chat, and personal coaching. However, <strong>Gleim<\/strong> includes what&#8217;s essentially an expert hotline to get your questions answered by successful accountants. It&#8217;s the equivalent of having a personal tutor through a chat function. As you can imagine, that adds a lot of value to Gleim&#8217;s pitch.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, though <strong>Surgent<\/strong> lacks this style of expert hotline, they do offer virtual 1-on-1 coaching sessions, which may be preferable for students who learn best through face-to-face instruction. However, whereas Gleim&#8217;s support is unlimited, Surgent&#8217;s coaching includes three 20 to 30-minute sessions per exam part, for a total of nine.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Gleim&#8217;s unlimited support earns a win compared to Surgent&#8217;s effective yet limited personalized coaching.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-course-discounts\"><strong>Course Discounts<\/strong><\/h2> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why spend more when you can get an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/careers-education\/enrolled-agent-promo-codes\/\">EA exam review course for less<\/a>? I&#8217;ll answer for you: you shouldn&#8217;t. Luckily, Gleim and Surgent both offer some great discounts on their offers.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gleim-ea-discount\"><strong>Gleim EA Discount<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a class=\"cs_botton dinesh1 renew csbutton-7249 cs_main_page_ajax\" data-ajax-code=\"7249\" thehref=\"?cc=7249\" data-affiliate=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/careers-education\/recommends\/gleim\/gleim-ea\/\" data-code=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\" style=\"color:; text-decoration:none\">Save $300<\/a> on your Gleim EA Review course.
