From your experience, which is the easiest: FAR or AUD in terms of reviewing it for a second time?

AUD for sure

AUD…definately

FAR - Attempt 1-(70)...Attempt 2 (Passed Baby)-Praise the Lord-Couldn't have done it without him.
AUD- Attempt 1-Passed!!!!!!!!! )-Praise the Lord-Couldn't have done it without him.
REG-Attempt 1-(73)...Attempt 2 (Passed Baby)-Praise the Lord-Couldn't have done it without him.
BEC-Attempt 1-(71)...Attempt 2 (Passed Baby)-Praise the Lord-Couldn't have done it without him.

So far, BEC was easiest for me. AUD wasn't bad either, but the SIMs were odd. BEC was straight forward and the WCs are 15 easy points.

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂

Definitely AUD.

FAR

All have you to do is memorize crunching numbers.

AUD required me to analyze questions…lame.

So far we have AUD, BEC, and FAR. Anyone think REG was easiest? Not me, obviously!

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂

I like REG, I am thinking about moving in the field of tax. When I walked out of BEC, I felt my score to be in 90s, but I just barely pass. I m still not sure if I pass REG, even though I felt it was a lot better than BEC

I think REG was not too bad. But in terms of easy.. I think AUD if your good with the “choose the best answer” type of questions. If not, BEC was pretty easy now that I think about it.

REG: PASS || BEC: PASS || AUD: PASS || F: SCORE PENDING..

[Anonymous]

Just an FYI that the OP specifically asked which was the easiest out of AUD and FAR.

[futuremdcpa]

@apbandj – Did you really waste a minute writing that because of what I wrote? Was a bit unnecessary.. just sayin'.

REG: PASS || BEC: PASS || AUD: PASS || F: SCORE PENDING..

Keely made a comment that so far we have AUD, BEC, and FAR. So I was just kindly pointing out that the first few people that commented probably only took FAR and AUD into consideration when in fact BEC or REG could have been easier for them. Don't be so quick to jump on people – just sayin'

[futuremdcpa]

🙂

REG: PASS || BEC: PASS || AUD: PASS || F: SCORE PENDING..

[nimmle02]

So in conclusion, no one would want to re-study for FAR ever……putting away the popcorn 🙂

REG - 5/21/2012 - 85
FAR - 7/24/2012 - 86
BEC - 8/27/2012 - 85
AUD - 10/5/2012 - 72....rematch 1/3/13 (waiting)

Aud for sure…you can so many mcq without even calculating anything…in my final review for aud I did every mcq question in the Wiley book in 2 days…

NEW YORK- DONE

Whoops, I'm sorry, I guess I didn't read the question! Well, I wouldn't know about FAR since I haven't taken it, but I can see how some people might think FAR is less frustrating since it's straight forward numbers, whereas AUD is somewhat analytical. I got frustrated a lot with AUD because it seemed to be very vague (just like the SIMs were vague on the actual exam), but it's definitely doable. On the other hand, I am very afraid of FAR. I haven't even looked at the book yet.

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂
