We all know that all of these exams are brutally hard. But some are harder than others. Want to know your thoughts just out of curiosity.

Mine is (from easiest to hardest):
AUD < BEC < FAR

I have not taken REG so I can’t put it on the equation yet…

AUD < FAR < REG < BEC

Reason I put BEC was how much/different all the material was. My brain likes “Okay we are doing (this)” but BEC has you answering a database question, a cost accounting question, a question about demand curve, and then a financial management question. My brain hurt studying for that exam.

BEC/AUD/FAR/REG

BEC/REG/AUD/FAR

Also for me it is the same order from most interesting content to least which I think has a huge reflection on peoples performance.

AUD – just made so much sense to me, so logical
REG – tax was a lot of memorization, ethics was straightforward, biz law sucked though
BEC – shortest book by far but deceptively tough, topics are very unrelated – I hated IT and cost accounting
FAR – I got my highest score here but the volume of information was overwhelming and exhausting

They all suck

Easiest to hardest (actual scores may vary):

AUD BEC REG FAR

BEC was “surprisingly difficult” however. Very much on par with REG. AUD was a pleasure to study after FAR. It was like being on vacation.

Easiest to toughest…

REG, BEC, AUD, FAR

BEC, FAR, REG, AUD

Interesting to see these responses.

AUD, REG, BEC

Haven't taken FAR so no opinion on that one yet. But I do financial accounting everyday so I feel like it will be before REG. But we shall see. Hopefully soon bc I want this to be over!

Reg/Far/Audit/Bec —–> easiest to hardest for me.

Easy to hard:

REG / BEC / AUD / FAR

Okay Im the weirdo here for sure. Easiest to hardest for me was FAR BEC AUD REG. As someone who loves dealing with complex formulas and problem solving, FAR came very natural to me, and even when I didn't fully know the answer on the exam, I was usually able to figure out at least a best guess mathematically. REG was the absolute worst for me, as Tax is not my strongest point and I find it extremely boring. AUD was my lowest score but studying wasn't that bad. BEC was just kinda there for me, not easy, not hard.
