Normally the EA set consists of 3 exams, but the third exam is a toss-up of 620 or 680. Since I had passed 620 already I didn’t need it.
For me, the toughest exams were 291 and 642. However, 647 was the trickiest. I failed it the first try by one question. However, I did try to make it through while going head-first into a bad stomach Flu, so I tried to hurry up half-way through. I passed it the second time about two weeks later, after studying every spare minute I had. The trickiest part of 647 is reading the questions. The wording throws you off.
