    I am taking AUD this Wednesday with anticipation of passing this exam. I will have two down and two more to go. I work at a Big 4 and January / February are super busy. I am considering taking an exam either early Jan or Last day possible in Feb. Need some advice. I took both all ready and failed 59 on FAR and REG 64, but this was a year ago soooooooo….. any good advice I shall take.

    I start at Big 4 in January, got REG scheduled for Jan 5th….start on the 7th, getting these bastards of exams done before working for the man. How's REG vs the other exams? Had to put most work into FAR, then AUD, then BEC. Still waiting on BEC score but thought it was a breeze. I'm interested any comments on REG in comparison to FAR/AUD mainly. Bumppp

    FAR- 8/14/12 91
    AUD- 10/16/12 88
    BEC- 11/07/12 92
    REG- 01/05/13 86

    For me REG ended up being the most difficult. I guess it was probably because of Business Law. I passed as you can see with the lowest possible mark so I never got the results of how I actually did on each section. I felt pretty good about it going in but you can definitely get caught off guard by some of the questions. So for me REG was definitely the beast. Good luck!

    FAR - 81
    REG - 75
    AUD - 85
    BEC - 79

    Thank goodness it's over... Now on to the next step...

    Personally I found the topics in REG to be tougher, but FAR was more time-consuming. If you're worried about time, I'd probably go for REG.

    BEC - 90 PASSED
    FAR - 84 PASSED
    AUD - 93 PASSED
    REG - 84 PASSED

    I DID IT!!!!
