I know this is subjective. Just curious to see what you all think.

I’d say

1. FAR

2. REG

3. AUD

4. BEC

This seems to also be the general consensus.

Obvi this is subjective, but just curious.

I've got to be different so I'll go backwards, so for me the easiest to the hardest:

AUD – Because I'm an auditor at heart and if I ever lose my mind everyone will know it because I'll get certified to do forensic accounting

FAR – Because I got hung up on knowing the hard stuff and let the fundamentals slip

BEC – Because the B#@!$ is Ever Changing – Never the same test twice and a lot of useless crap, in my honest opinion

REG – Because anything dealing with taxes or the IRS is the spawn of Satan!

What is hard for one person is easy for another. So it's all relative, and like my relatives, it's usually drunk and mean!

I found the materials in BEC to be the most challenging. One caveat, I haven not studied for FAR yet.

BEC - 5/26/2013 75
REG - 8/31/2013 82
AUD - 11/24/2013 74, 2/9/2014 92
FAR - 5/25/2014 85
