Hey JAN2010.. I just realized you had asked a question about the ethics. The ethics is a joke compared to the CPA exam. Seriously, I laugh when I think about it!
The ethics material is kind of tricky to locate. You can purchase it through the AICPA website. I have heard that some states might require something different, so it is best to check with your local state board.

You can do it at home.. You can order a physical book or just a CD.
I opted for the book. The book has the 40 questions in the back of the book for you. Rip them out then each question goes in the exact same order as the book. The book has very big writing and has titles for every paragraph – this makes it very very easy to find all of the answers.
When you answer all the questions, then you log online to enter the questions for grading. I missed 1 question, because I couldn't find it in the book so I guessed. I believe you have 3 chances to take it. I only took it one time. They automatically send the score to your state board of your choice.
I think you can take the ethics at anytime.. you may not have to wait till you are done.. however I believe there is an expiration after 2 years or so.. so you want to make sure you have passed all the exams or are very close to passing all, so you don't waste the money 🙂
Let me know if you have more questions. I'm happy to help.. corag3@comcast.net
