    I have taken my AUD last Wednesday.

    Right now I want to start preparing myself for another one…

    I cannot decide which one to choose BEC or FAR.

    I have heard opinion that BEC is the most difficult part of CPA.

    Do you have opinion?

    I would take FAR first. It seems like the debate about the hardest section is usually between FAR and REG, and that was my experience, too. It depends on your strengths, but whichever is harder for you would probably be the best to take first. Unless you have a lot of professional experience in accounting, that'll probably be FAR.

    FAR - 76 (1/12)
    AUD - 76 (5/12)
    BEC - 82 (11/12)
    REG - 59, 73, 73, 78! (4/12, 8/12, 10/12, 2/13)

    Wiley test bank on everything, Roger USB+book on REG after first attempt.

    HelloREGmyoldfriend, I have passed REG as first, it wasn't bad maybe because I am working as tax preparer for couple of years now. In my job we say that REG is the easiest one…

    I am willing to choose FAR

    Congrats on your CPA license 🙂 You've made it!

    If I were you I would base it on how well you think you did on Audit. If you think you passed, I would take FAR next. If your in limbo about your score I would probably take BEC next because there is not as much material on their and you won't have to study for as long, when compared to reg or far (less time has passed and you should still have retained most of the info from audit if you have to retake it).
