Yeah I have for a couple sections but keep in mind that I am only on the 10th section of wiley so far.

I have noticed gleim to be relatively easier, mostly because the questions in Wiley get long and complicated.  It seems like gleim questions will test an individual concept and move one when wiley tries to trick you a little and make you think more than you need to.

I will keep you posted as I move through more sections.

I've studied Wiley so much at this point it seems easy to me. I can't imagine how much easier Becker is. I can say for Audit and especially Regulation Wiley was overkill, the CPA test was so easy compared to Wiley. BEC test was a bit tougher, but I guess Wiley was tough also, Wiley was also extremely short, but it did get me an 87 on the test.

People on this Forum have me scared sh*tless. I'm expecting some of the toughest questions to be on this FAR exam after reading people's experiences. Either becker is way too easy or this Far exam is way hard. 

I'm thinking the problem most people are having with FAR is that they are not reviewing old material enough. FAR is unlike any other section, there is so much to review, its easy to overlook the importance of going back and reivewing old material. You forget very easily, even after a few days. YOu need to constantly review to put the material in your long term memory.

This is why people who are taking far are saying they are forgetting the easy small details, well thats proabably because they didn't review them enough. It amazes me even after reviewing the same question a few times already, I forget some details when going back.
