SO , I just passed FAR. I will have December and some time in January to study , but I am too busy Feb- April 15th to study.

Which Section would you consider the easiest to prepare for, because that is the one I want to do next before tax season gets too busy.

In my opinion you should take AUD.

6 weeks is enough for AUD.

What's your strong point? Taxes, Auditing or BEC – 6 weeks is enough to prepare for any of them depending what you feel most comfortable with. Save the unknown material until later.
However, BEC has the least amount of materials in it, albeit more random.

What is your strength? I studied for AUD in about 5 days, but I had 6 years of experience auditing while studying.

Conversely, I needed every minute of 6 weeks to pass REG, because I do nearly no tax work.

Hmm,

I have one year tax experience, and there is a TON still left to learn. I did really well in my audit undergraduate class. (Go Boise State)

I have heard other say audit was not too bad to prepare for.

I hated audit. If you work in tax you will find REG easier I think. But it is the next biggest exam (after FAR). So I would probably do Audit if I were you or BEC. Both have less total information and are in a way easier. Also audit is the one normally recommended after FAR.

Depending on your comfort level with remembering formulae, BEC is the “easiest” one, followed by AUD. However, AUD is no joke. You seriously need to apply yourself, whereas you could do a half-a** job with BEC and pull through.

CPA - Since 2015
CISA - Smashed 2012
CIA - Passed 2015

I suggest AUD next. 6 weeks is enough time for that even if you don't have audit experience. What is easiest/hardest is very personal. There are people that took BEC many times so it definitely wasn't easy for them. AUD and FAR have some overlap in material so it will help that you just took FAR if you study for AUD next.

CPA Exam - Finally DONE (November 2014)
BEC (08/10/13) 80
AUD (08/24/13) 65 (11/13/13) 85
FAR (04/12/14) 81
REG (07/19/14) 69 (11/29/14) 87!!

REG could help you get warmed up for tax season
