    Two of my hardest topics were number one and two. Just proves how individual these exams are.

    Fascinating. I am surprised Business Law isn't lower down on the list. Though, I do agree with NFP and Gov't being detrimental to most.

    I guess this makes a lot sense since BEC and REG has the highest passing rates.

    They're all equally as difficult IMO even though some have more or less material than others. It also depends on how closely it resembled the review materials. I had a good REG exam and thought it was very fair. BEC I literally said I thought I studied for the wrong exam..I was prepared. FAR they tested on some weak topics and other strong topics. AUD was just so much application in that it was easy to study for, but the exam was hard, but managed to pull through and did the best I could.

    REG 77 Feb14
    BEC 13*, 79 Aug14
    FAR 64**, 76 Nov14
    AUD 89 Feb15

    *Exited exam after first testlet
    **Only studied F1-F6 out of 10 Becker chapters
