REG is the hardest for me mainly because I don't have working experiences related to that and did not study well in school. AUD can be easy if you have worked in the audit area. FAR has been my favorite, so...

Everybody seems to say that but I don't see how the experience helps you with these questions. I have auditing experience and these AUD questions are still rediculous.

From hardest to easiest:
- FAR due to the huge volume of information.
- AUD because I have absolutely no audit experience and am least interested in the subject.
- REG and BEC about the same, probably because I am a tax person and former IT person with a finance and economics background and interest in these topics.

For me it was:
REG (the hardest test and and most time pressure)-- used Becker with the Wiley book for questions
FAR (the most information and some impossible sim tabs) -- used Becker alone
AUD (hard as hell to study for, you could almost take this section without reading anything and just doing questions) -- used Becker with the Wiley book for questions
BEC (easy for me since i just got an MBA in finance, only exam I walked out of confident I passed) -- Used Becker with the Wiley book for questions
