    I bought the PDF version from this link:

    https://www.calcpa.org/Content/educationfoundation/candidates.aspx

    I printed it out so I could make notes and highlight things. But I also used the PDF version to search for keywords.

    ok….. I am just thinking what is better to buy a book or a PDF version…. I guess the PDF version makes more sense as I can reprint it as many times as I want and make notes….

    I thought it was easier because you can search for keywords to help you find the answers. It is difficult so you need to take it seriously. Take your time and keep good notes about where you find everything answer. That way if you don't pass the first time it might help you to know which ones you got wrong. I also made notes on the ones I wasn't sure about because those would give me a hint of which ones I got wrong also. And make sure you read the questions carefully. If the question says California in it there is a whole separate chapter for the California, I would have gotten a bunch wrong if I didn't figure that out. Luckily I passed the first try so I'm not sure how much they tell you if you don't pass.

    Are they multiple choice? Are there any questions available online to prepare?

    They're all multiple choice. I don't know of any practice questions but you can print out the questions before you actually take the exam online. So I had all the questions answered and then went online to just submit them.

    I think when I printed out the PDF the questions were a part of that PDF. I forget how long you have to answer the questions. But since I had them all answered already it only took me a couple minutes to put my answers in.

    So you retyped the questions in Word and also put answers next to each question?

    No, I just circled the answers on the PDF I printed out. The exam you can print out is the actual exam but I think they re-ordered the answers to each question so you have to read all the answers before you select one.
