    I passed FAR the second time around. It was my first pass. It was an enormous amount of studying and information. I am taking AUD next. Will I encounter another part of the exam that was as taxing as FAR?

    IMO, if you are an auditor, then AUD should be easier for you. AUD exam is like 30% of memorization and 70% of understanding.

    REG was another difficult one for me.

    BEC is easy but be careful of random IT questions.

    Currently:
    CPA - Class of 2013
    ALMI (Associate, Life Management Institute)
    CISA - Passed in 2011, Certified in 2014

    In Progress:
    ASA (Associate of Society of Actuaries) - EXAM P (O), EXAM FM (O), EXAM MFE (X), EXAM MLC (X), EXAM C (X)

    yes, REG will come close and test your resolve.

    AUD is downright pleasant compared to FAR, and there is synnergy to be realized in doing it succession. The only caveat is that a good grasp of English helps.

    BEC is riddled with random IT questions

    AUD - 75*, 88 done 5/14! (*exp)
    BEC - 74 , 77
    REG - 65 , 76 (10 point combooo!!)
    FAR - 69 , 75

    Depends on the person. REG was the easiest for me.
