For those working in the field, what do you find to be harder to learn and understand?

The things you do and learn at work

or

The material that you need to learn and retain on the exam.

AUD - 82
REG - 78
BEC - 78
FAR - 76

Material b/c you're just reading and memorizing, not putting it to use.

-----------------------------
BEC - 77, 03/2015 (first try)
FAR - 79, 05/2015 (second try)
REG - 83, 12/2015 (first try)
AUD - 84, 03/2015 (first try)

I got 99 problems but the CPA ain't one.

The material that you need to learn and retain on the exam is more difficult than working in the field.

Began my CPA journey in 2012 using Gleim and mistakenly paid to take all 4 parts within 6 months:
AUD - 51, 47 (did not study properly)
REG - 39 (did not study at all, just took it on a whim)
Did not sit for FAR or BEC
I gave up in 2013... 🙁

Resumed my CPA journey in 2016 using Gleim again with the following plan:
FAR - study Feb thru Jun, take exam 6/5/16
AUD - study Jun thru Aug, take exam 8/28/16
REG - study Sep thru Dec, take exam 12/4/16
BEC - study Dec thru Feb, take exam 2/26/17

Agree with euroaddict. The best way to truly learn something is to put it to use and teach it. Hence way doing questions is so important.
