Maybe I got lucky on my REG exam or maybe I just have a knack for tax things, but I felt like REG all made sense and wasn't nearly as tricky as the other tests.

First go at the CPA! Only using Becker
Reg / Nov 2015 - 87
Far / Apr 2016 - 79
Bec / May 2016 - 80
Aud / Aug 2016

They all suck!!! If I rate them least number of attempts to most its:
1x BEC
3x AUD
2x REG* currently testing so I at least have 1 more attempt since I got screwed on the 3/21 score release
6x FAR

That being said, of course all were tough and it is also very individual.

They all suck and are not easy. I made the mistake of believing I would easily pass all of the exams bc I passed FAR on my first attempt. So not true. Passing an exam requires intense studying, your prior education and exposure to the material, critical time management during the exam, and some luck. But, studying your ass off and time management during the exam are probably the most important drivers for passing an exam.

FAR=AUD=BEC=REG

Don't fall into the trap of believing an exam is “easy.” Just know that the AICPA allows more candidates to pass certain exams. Goodluck!
