Audit was easiest IMO and BEC was second easiest. I mean FAR and REG is just so much material!!! If you’re good at far/Reg I feel like you’re a technical accountant vs audit and BEC you’re probably not as smart but better with soft skills. Lol just a dumb analysis by me.

I thought BEC was challenging to study and thought I failed the exam. Ended up getting an 89, so I think it’s heavily curved. That was my highest grade by far, so I’d now consider it the easiest (even though while studying I struggled)

I thought REG was the easiest.

I think it depends. Reg was easiest for me, audit im struggling with. 😑

Ew

AUD was easiest for me

Audit

I thought BEC was easiest bit I also happened to have internet trainings that covered some of the same topics.
Audit i think wasn't too bad except the different types of reports/IFRS vs GAAP

I thought it was hard when I was studying for it bc the topics are allllll over the place BUT the test itself was insanely easy. Def prepare like its as hard as FAR or REG tho.

That’s what I am thinking (and hoping)…that it’s a lot of material when studying but a fairly straightforward exam
