State CPA CPE and Enrolled Agent guidelines require that every exam be tested by qualified individuals prior to the release of the exam.
Our pilot test procedure is as follows:
1) Sign up to enter a pilot test group
-
Sign up using the form below
-
We will email you when a new course becomes available for pilot testing
-
You respond to the email to indicate interest in that specific pilot test
-
You receive confirmation that you have been accepted in that test group
2) Complete the pilot test
-
Review the preliminary instructions
-
Obtain the reading material (borrow, buy or download)
-
Keep close track of study time
-
Take notes on any unclear questions or technical difficulties experienced
-
Answer exam questions
-
Complete a short pilot test course evaluation
-
Submit a Statement of Independence and resume (both can be submitted online)
Most pilot test groups require that you be able to complete the process within one to two weeks from notification date. We suggest providing an email address that you check frequently as test groups fill up quickly . We do not share the information you provide with anyone.
You will receive free cpe for the course--the amount of cpe is determined after all participants have completed the process. Because we must wait until all pilot testers have completed their material, we do not recommend using a pilot test course to meet CPE reporting deadlines.
