    You'll have to get the text version. You study it and then you go online and take the test. I believe you get 3 chances at getting a 90 or better and once you're done you select what state board of accountacy you want the results to go

    FAR-81
    BEC-84
    AUD-91
    REG-89

    I'm a little confused. I thought the Ethics exam was a mere formality, a way for the state board to suck a little more money out of us. I was under the impression that you just watch a video and take the quiz at the end. My friend said he was able to skip the video and just take the quiz using common sense. Why would you need to study for it?

    ExhaustedCPA, I also heard it was a formality. You can either get the CD rom or the text version. My friend said he simply read the book nd took the test

    I wondered the same thing. I ordered the ethics from the AICPA in April, and I'm still waiting. I thought I was the only one. I've passed the exams, all I need is the ethics to get my license. It's very frustrating!

    Why not just get the text version?

    The CD finally arrived last week.

    #291444

    yeah, i just got the CD-rom version. Only issue is that, like Jeff, I have a MacbookPro and drink the mac kool aid. might have to run bootcamp w/ windows on my MBP to run AICPA ethics now

    So, how far in advance of wanting to take the ethics exam should I order the materials? Some of these backorder time frames have me a little nervous! I'm taking BEC on 8/17 and planned on taking the ethics exam during Sept while I'm waiting on my BEC score. I have a baby due mid-October so I don't want to spend a ton of time waiting on my materials to show up! How soon should I plan on ordering?

    The CA ethics exam folks say, “Please allow approximately 16 hours to read the materials and complete the test.”

    Oh well, what's another 16 hours at this point.

    @T-rex – I'm not too worried once I actually receive the materials, but this thread has me concerned how long it's going to take me to receive them from the time I order them… Wondering what kind of a lead time I should plan on…

    @asleep,

    I was actually responding to a different comment, but I'm also wondering how long it will take to receive the ethics materials. I don't take my last section until 8/29, but maybe I should order my ethics stuff now to avoid dragging this mess out longer than necessary.

    Good luck on your last section!

    @T-rex – Oh, sorry! 🙂 Yep, that's what I'm considering doing… Good luck to you as well!
