I hated FAR, it was the only exam where I felt hopeless and didnt believe that I would be able to pass on the first try. Although I did nail it on the first try..the preparing for the exam was still difficult, miserable, depressing, and torturous.
However, FAR was not my lowest score. Reg was. But prepping for REG was easier than FAR.

Although I didn't pass FAR, AUD is the worst so far. I love calculations and AUD is so subjective. I think BEC was my second worst because cost accounting and strategic planning are not my favs. FAR & REG had a lot of calculations which were great because I didn't feel like I was going back & forth between two answers.

BEC is literally a dumpster for stuff that could go in the other three but didn't quite fit, not to mention it has it's own problems you need to deal with.
With that being said saying one is easier then the other is a joke. There is no easy one they are all a challenge in some way or the other and some people excel in different areas then other people do.

Ah yes…the infamous yet archetypal “wolfchicken” asking which exam is hardest on the very common professional examination message board. For you it is probably a different one every day; for a wolfchicken is a paradox which alludes to a sort of chaotic order with two poles, one chicken, and one wolf.

FAR is the worst to prepare for… But not as bad on test day.
REG was great for me. I'm a tax person… so I was never super stressed about that one, and it's my highest score so far.
BEC was totally all over the place but it's not a lot of material… so there's that.
AUD is my personal enemy. I hated auditing in school, hated studying for it, and hate it even more for failing me by two points. I retake AUD tomorrow and I cannot wait to be finished with it. I'm better with real numbers.
FAR - 79
AUD - 73, 85
REG - 88
BEC - 80

BEC is the easiest, then AUD. I think FAR is harder to prepare for because of all the material, but REGmaterial was harder for me because I hate tax and I never studied any of the b. law stuff in college and I think that is the case with most accounting majors.
