How Note-Taking Fits Into EA Exam Practice
The percentages compare accuracy with and without recorded note activity. The cohorts are not matched and differ in study behavior, so the comparison cannot show that notes caused a change in performance.
What this result includes
- Historical practice snapshot through August 13, 2026
- Aggregate percentages; no individual records
- Cohort definitions and observational limits apply
Note use and accuracy are associated
The percentages compare accuracy with and without recorded note activity. The cohorts are not matched and differ in study behavior, so the comparison cannot show that notes caused a change in performance.

Capture the rule and deciding fact, close the note, then apply the distinction without looking.
Interpret the evidence carefully
Evidence is uneven across groups. Descriptive percentages can guide a study question, but do not establish causation, national performance or a probability of passing.
Accuracy for learners with and without recorded note use
The percentages compare accuracy with and without recorded note activity. The cohorts are not matched and differ in study behavior, so the comparison cannot show that notes caused a change in performance.

Percentages describe the stated historical cohort. Evidence strength and the limits below must be considered before interpreting differences. Scroll horizontally to review every column.
| Part | Note-user accuracy | No-note accuracy | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1 | 62.1% | 64.3% | Stronger |
| Part 2 | 62.0% | 65.0% | Stronger |
| Part 3 | 68.5% | 71.3% | Stronger |
What the data cannot establish
This historical PassFast practice cohort is not representative of all SEE candidates. Smaller groups provide limited evidence. Content version, selection and prior practice can affect results. No verified official exam outcome is measured.

Use the report to choose a focused action, then test that decision with current material. The evidence should reduce uncertainty; it should never replace the complete exam outline or promise an official result.
