EA Degree in 3 weeks

Very good advice above.

Relax. Listen, learn, ask questions to someone knowledgeable who likes answering, be polite, patient and understand it can take a while to get a handle on Freemasonry. Seek out a new friend or two at Lodge, every meeting until you know all in the room.

Great advice above.

I would add that if you have the opportunity to attend another EA degree ritual before you are Passed to FC, it may make things much clearer. Despite paying attention during your degree, you inevitably miss some things.

I would compare it to being hit by a tidal wave of knowledge. You're definitely going to get wet, but most of it will fly right past you or go over your head.
Absolutely agree! I learned much more from watching the EA degree from the sidelines than I did going through myself. It was just so different from anything that I had experienced before that I could not absorb much of it. But don't get me wrong, it was a great experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Total agreement Bro. In the Philippines, all sorts of things are running through your mind through out the ritual that you cannot pay attention to the whole thing, I myself only recalled about 20% of the ritual and it made more sense when I was able to attend someone else's EA degree conferral.

The only thing I would add is don't just watch from the sideline, but take part. There are many parts you can learn right after initiation. you can't imagine how much it helps you in learning your EA studies. I also agree, do not research ahead of time. It takes away from the experience.
