    I think I’m cracking up if I am posting this question.

    What was your favorite section of the exam to study for? Not necessarily the easiest section or highest scoring, but the section that you enjoyed the most.

    For me it was REG. I liked it.

    REG-PASS

    Definitely REG here, though I got arrogant about it (figured the tax stuff would be a breeze – ha!!) and did not study nearly as much as I should have. I have a feeling I'm going to be paying for it….

    Audit, just seemed the most logical. FAR was by far the worst…

    I work (1 year experience) for a Tax firm, so REG made sense, and I enjoyed the business law portion. Audit is driving me crazy, still trying to wrap my mind around it as I am watching Roger's video lectures. But I really enjoyed FAR, even though it was a lot of information, I enjoyed the calculations. So I think my order favorite to least so far is FAR REG AUD and I haven't started studying BEC yet.

    FAR 10/18/14... 82
    REG 11/18/14... 87
    AUD 01/06/15... 71 Grrr 5/06/2015 ... 73 Doh 7/13/15 ... 69 Ack 11/18/15 ... 86!!!
    BEC 02/07/15... 79

    Agree with the Reg posters. I did it last, and after Far it was a breath of fresh air.

    Even though I hated taxes in college and I dreaded studying for this section I think REG was surprisingly my favorite (come score release, it might be my worst). There were some things that didn't make sense initially but once you take a step back and try understanding the rules and the exceptions to the rules, you can enjoy it. Business law section was interesting too. Oh, and what made it interesting is watching youtube videos of Miles CPA review. The guy does a phenomenal job explaining!

    I'm only through R5 for REG so far but I must say, REG is pretty tolerable so far even though it's hard. FAR stressed me out the most and AUD annoyed me the most. I think REG is a good balance between the two.

    FAR - 86 7/2014
    AUD - 95 10/2014
    REG - 87 1/22/15
    BEC - 84 7/2015
