It really depenes on your background.

For me from the hardest to easies, FAR-AUD-BEC-REG ( i work for the CPA firm and i have tax experience, just a little bit audit work). So i think REG is the easiest. FAR is hard becasue of the huge volume.

BEC is a little bit tricky. It seems easy, but it is not.

Hardest to easy; FAR, AUD, REG, BEC. Had to take FAR and AUD three times
to pass.

The hardest to the easiest:

Far - 78 I never took government/non-profit classes. And the amount of material is over whelming.

BEC - ? Its a bear, and there is no communication part (10 easy points). I think its graded harder than the other tests also.

REG - 85

AUD - 90

Difficulty from hardest to easiest:

1 - FAR, 2 - REG, 3 - AUD (1st time), 4 - BEC, 5 - AUD (2nd time, it felt easy)

The exam is weird. I felt better about the Audit test that I failed than I did about the FAR and REG tests that I passed.
