    F2 was the worst. F5 could cause some trouble too. I would say from hardest to easiest (but by no means from most to least important)…

    F2

    F5

    F10

    F6

    F3

    F7

    F4

    F1

    F9

    F8

    B- TBD (May 2015)
    A- 87 (April 2015)
    R- 87 (May 2015)

    Ha! I thought Consolidations were the easiest. Ironically it was one of the hardest to learn in school but it stuck so well because the professor was great at teaching it.

    I'd have to say Tax Book vs Financial statement differences were pretty weird to grasp at first. F2 is awful at first. That was OK after doing all the homework though.

    Hmmm…. F10 has some weird stuff that does show up on the exam. Gov/NFP is an animal but once you do enough problems it's pretty repetitive.

    I think ultimately the Stockholder's Equity was the weirdest for me to grasp. Even after going through it I had a hard time remembering journal entries and rules. Especially dilutive EPS.

    FAR - 78
    AUD - 82
    REG - 79
    BEC - 78

    Direct vs indirect methods for cash flow was hard for me. I spend days trying to master those. And governmental was awful, too. FAR is general was no walk in the park.

    A - 75
    B - 78 God is good.
    F - 77 Answered prayers.
    R - 84! Done!!

    Paperwork sent - waiting for license!!
    Still on a cloud and in shock. Through God, all things will happen.
