For what i'm reading it seems that the Ethic exam is an open book exam???  this sounds too good to be true!

You get a 300+ page study guide which contains the answers and info. This is for California anyway... However, a lot of the questions are fuzzy and it's hard to eliminate all the answer choices. Certainly, easier than a CPA exam but it takes a lot of effort to A) find the material and B) figuring out how the info relates to the question. Many of the questions require interpretation and analysis of the rule/law so it's quite a chore. It took me around one week to complete. I spent a few hours each day on it though and probably spent somewhere between 15-20 hours total. Luckily, I had the PDF file so I could search for the info easily. I would definitely suggest using the online method. I did fail the first time with an 84 but they tell you the areas needed to be corrected.

Thanks for the heads up, kobecpa! I'll get the online version then. I was thinking about getting the book, but after reading your post. I think I'll be better off with the online version.  Oh well! the ethic exam is not so simple after all.
