I keep seeing posts that say besides Bec, Reg will be changing the most in April. I’ve tried to find details online but haven’t found that much besides the increase in time and DRS. Can anyone elaborate on why Reg is viewed as the one with the most changes? I remember seeing somewhere that 2017 won’t test on tax deadlines and extensions, but I lost the website and can’t be sure what the significant changes are. I’m trying to decide between studying for Reg or Aud before March. I know nothing about audit and feel a tiny bit comfortable with tax but wanted to factor in the changes before deciding which one to take.

It's going from 3 to 4 hours, more sims, and it will be weighted 50/50 instead of 60/40. As far as what's going to be eliminated or added in regards to content, I'm not really sure. These links should give you a better idea.

If you haven't already, I would try and knock out BEC before the changes. It seems to be the one changing the most and will be adding sims.
