For Oregon accountants out there, do any of you know if there is a better exam to take? And better can mean a lot of things including easier and more educational. I was planning on trying to knock out the ethics course before the score release on Thursday and I couldn’t figure out which one to buy. The Oregon course is a little bit cheaper since I’m not an AICPA member but I wasn’t sure if the savings in money is worth it. Both get me licensed and both provide me 8 credits, so as I see it go with the cheaper option. Any advice on which course to take?

The AICPA (for licensure) exam is easy. You can knock it out in a few hours. Not sure who you work for but most firms would reimburse the expense too

Thanks, I think I'm going to do the AICPA, and unfortunately I work for a cheap small firm so nothing about the becoming a CPA is reimbursed nor is there any sort of bonus for becoming a CPA. But I've heard the AICPA one is way better than the state of Oregon from friends who are CPA's, so I'll go with that one. Thanks for your input!
