FAR - longest part, yet I had so much experience with f/s's, did't do any practice exams or supplemental questions, but studied a TON and barely squeaked by with a 78. I think if I did the supps, practice exam, and took this last I would do better, but hey it was my first exam and getting FAR out of the way is HUGE.
BEC - Thought this would be easier then it was, a ton of problem solving but was able to relate to quite a bit of B3 and B5. I studied so much I was expecting to get a 99, walked out feeling like a 65-75. This test stinks, 90 questions when all the becker material is so broad, I hate to say this, but it should either be 120-150 questions or there should at least be simulations for B3 and B5. I feel like the test was a crap shoot and you just get what you get. Way to many questions in the bank to only test you on 90. I did all supps here, and went through all questions and marked ones several times.
AUD - great break from math and was familiar with 95% of the material through work experience. Studied a TON, but took the last weekend off and went on a 3 day binge as I could not take waiting for my BEC results anymore, which thankfully came through to me on Sunday. Raced through the exam in 2 hours, didnt check any work in MC's or simulations. If you work in Audit, there is no reason why you shouldnt nail this exam.
REG - I think I would have been too intimidated to take this exam first... auditors here "Tax" and just point the finger to the tax team. However, since I am now "good" at studying and am familiar with how the tests go, this is the least stressful out of all of them (audit would bother me bc I didnt agree with a lot of answers/explanations as I have so much real world experience). I was still intimidated the first time I went through the lectures, q's, etc, but its gotten much better as I complete my final review. Take it Thursday.
Just wanted to share...
FAR 11/13 - 78, BEC 1/13 - 82, AUD 2/23 - 94, REG is next
