For anyone who took all 4 sections, what do you rank in order of difficulty? I only took FAR so far, so i’m just wondering what to expect coming up. Thanks.

I haven't taken FAR yet and it does seem to be a ton of material. Not counting FAR I found AUD the hardest by a longshot.

Easiest to hardest- not including FAR

BEC

REG

AUD

“Riley_N, you might be right,but I have seen a lot people here taking Audit more than twice, and that kisses your theory goodbye.”

Hey, I was just theory-crafting based on a VERY limited amount of information, no need to get all sassy on me =P

There's obviously a hidden factor in those pass rates, because I think most would agree that FAR and REG are harder than Audit, even though the opposite is true according to those stats.

FAR: 85
AUD: 78
REG: 84
BEC: 89
I made it into the 300 club!

@Martin – I think the pass rates tell it all. My opinion is the same as the pass rates. Hardest to easiest = AUD, FAR, REG, BEC.

Audit seems to be tricky as its mostly conceptual based questions that may have funky wording. FAR is just a beast regardless. REG is iffy. As for BEC, well most of us can do math or formulate a decent sentence so I think we're alright there.

BEC - ✔ REG - ✔ AUD - ✔ FAR - ✔
