As I finished wrapping up blaw for REG last night, I realized how much I hate doing mcq’s on them and it made me think back on which ones I disliked most for each section. BEC as a whole was my least favorite section and it shows in my scores.

FAR- bonds
AUD- internal control
BEC- operations management
REG- anything involving UCC (especially negotiable instruments & secured transactions)

FAR: 75 Roger & Ninja (notes/flashcards/audio/MCQ)
AUD: 73, 81
BEC: 71, retake 8/29
REG:

FAR – anything IFRS, or anything having to do with statement titles.

Audit – Government Funds

REG – everything tax

BEC – COSO horse dung and IT non-sense.

FAR – Oh there was so much, I hated this section so much more than the others. But I'd have to say Government, everything is just so different.

Audit – The cycles, the ones on where do the documents go.

REG – Anything law – but most specifically would be AMT.

BEC – IT questions that were outdated while studying. But it is hard to say, that test is so random, it is kind of blending together for me.

FAR – It's just easier to say everything
BEC – Stupid budgeting questions where you have to keep x% of next months inv (easy but take all day to do)
REG – anything UCC related and those sec 11/10b5 questions
AUD – IC and Evidence transaction cycles and anything involving the audit risk model

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

FAR-Bonds
REG-Contract questions
AUD-Government funds
BEC-IT

[hasy]

FAR – stockholder's equity (so journal entry heavy, disliked it so much)
AUD – audit evidence (need i say more?)
BEC – IRR/NPV or financial management (lord, had a bunch of these on the exam)
REG – individual tax & blaw (see score below)

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved - Helen Keller

BEC 80 (10/23/15)
FAR 72 (4/2/15); 83 (7/11/16)
REG 52 (4/28/15)
AUD (9/9/16)

I can only mention FAR because that's the only one I've taken but I got an onslaught of questions about non-profit and governmental acct. Let's just say that I was not nearly as well prepared as I thought I was. But after about 12 questions on each that just kept coming at me repeatedly, I was like “Stop it already.”

I'll agree with others about Stockholders Equity questions. Those take way too long, particularly the ones on EPS/Diluted EPS.

FAR – haven't gotten to this one yet, but can say in advance i'll probably hate it all
AUD – Internal Control
BEC – IT
REG – Anything dealing with UCC

[Iceman6]

Far – haven't finished studying, but Govt is brutal
BEC – Variances/cost accounting
REG – B Law
AUD – Internal Control (like everyone else)
