   Which one requires more studying? I know it varies by individual, but I'm just trying to get a general idea. Thanks in advance.

   FAR - 84 (Yaeger) 11/2011
   AUD - 94 (Yaeger + NINJA notes) 2/2012
   BEC - 5/29
   REG - August

   I think BEC requires more studying b/c it jumps around from different topics... Just my opinion.

   I would say they both require about equal amount of studying, but if I had to choose, I'd say Audit requires a bit more studying.

   REG - PASSED -- 1st Attempt
   FAR - PASSED -- 1st Attempt
   AUD - PASSED -- 1st Attempt
   BEC - PASSED -- 1st Attempt
   Ethics - PASSED -- 1st Attempt

   I agree with my life.. BEC jumps around. Also keep in mind BEC has calculations.. a lot of them on different topics.

   AUD is pretty str8 forward.. a lot of memorizing stuff I guess. I haven't taken none yet but studied both. AUD was easier to study for the most part.

   BEC - 66 (2/29/12) Retake on 5/1/12
   AUD - (5/31/12)
   FAR -
   REG -

   Thanks everyone. I take Audit the end of February and am trying to figure out when I'm going to take BEC and REG. I think I over estimated the amount of time Audit takes, so was curious how BEC compared.

   FAR - 84 (Yaeger) 11/2011
   AUD - 94 (Yaeger + NINJA notes) 2/2012
   BEC - 5/29
   REG - August

   I passed BEC quite easily and had to study about 5x more for AUD, but I think that's because I took BEC just after graduating with a business undergrad degree where I learned a lot of the BEC concepts like econ, finance, operations, etc. Auditing is something you kind of have to learn while studying - even taking an auditing class only covers about 25% of what's on the exam.

   REG (7/7/11) 75
   FAR (7/28/11) 76
   BEC (8/27/11) 81
   AUD (10/15/11, 1/20/12) 63, 91
   
   DONE!!!
