Most difficult part for me thus far is every concept in BEC, especially “Economics.”

REG - 74, Retook 6/10/16, scored a 72 (Hate this exam)
BEC - 69, 79, 8/1/15
AUD - 83, 4/4/15
FAR - 77, 2/27/16

BEC : Overhead variances! Ugh!! Stump me or slow me down each time!!

FAR - 79
REG - 76
AUD - 94
BEC - 77

DONE! DONE!! DONE!!!

BEC: IT. It's like learning a new language. I'm fine with anything that makes sense, and I love anything with math in it. But IT is just memorizing stuff/words.

Definitely REG AMT part …

Even though i passed it i am still not sure i fully understand it or want to understand it.

REG-77
BEC -Waiting on score May 5th
AUD - May 30
FAR - Q3 depending on if i pass above two in Q2

[AMorris95]

Yeah, as much time as I've invested in REG, I'm not sure I'll ever fully grasp AMT.

AUD 84 (Oct. 2015)
BEC 80 (Oct. 2015)
REG 74 (May 2016)
FAR TBD

REG: any topic related to Tax (the BLAW and ethics material isn't difficult)

FAR - 76
AUD - 74, 74
BEC - 83
REG - TBD

FAR – Pension Accounting

AUD – Transaction Cycles

REG - 82

FAR - Feb 2017

[OnmywaytoCPA]

AUD – All of it
BEC – All of it
FAR – All of it
REG – All of it

Although the concepts for AUD and FAR were easier to grasp than BEC and REG. Everything about REG is awful, but at least I didn't get 3 day long migraines with REG, like I did when studying for BEC. I literally had to see a doctor for about a month to figure out what was going wrong with my brain. When I passed BEC, the migraines mysteriously went away.

REG - 74, Retook 6/10/16, scored a 72 (Hate this exam)
BEC - 69, 79, 8/1/15
AUD - 83, 4/4/15
FAR - 77, 2/27/16

BEC – NPV, IRR, futures, forwards.

FAR – Stockholder's equity, Consolidations, Cash Flows

AUD – Audit Evidence (>.<“)

REG – Depreciation (midyear, mid-w/e), Corp Tax, THE SHEER AMOUNT OF BUSINESS LAW for SO LITTLE %
