I would recommend REG too but AUD to me was pretty easy to understand. I guess its up to you if you want to take another hard one or easy one.

I see what you mean.

This is tricky because I must order the next section materials soon to start studying right after the exam. However since I will not receive my scores until perhaps end Mar-Apr I will not know if I will need just a quick review of FAR or a in depth review becasue I did very bad. If I have to study this hard again I should not mix it with REG.

I have not yet taken the Becker final exam, I will use it as a benchmark: If I score high 60's / low 70's I will schedule/order REG otherwise I will go for AUD.

Thank you all for your comments!

Hey Guys,

I am new to this forum. I am planning to sit for CPA exams from the April-May window. I want to sit for an exam which I can clear easily in order to get the confidence for the other 3. It would be really nice if you let me know which exam should I take first. I really need your help in this regard. Thank you so much.

The way i did it was BEC, REG, FAR, AUD

The way i would have done it was FAR, AUD, BEC, REG

I am in tax thats why reg would be last for me, however rmbr once you pass a section your clock runs so if you pass an easy one your clocks running therefore its better to pass a harder one first, and you only get 12 mos in becker as well FYI, i almost ran into that issue with audit, with it expiring one day before my audit exam. Good luck

the way i did was BEC-AUD-REG-FAR,
the way i could have done, FAR, REG, AUD, BEC, only if someone did not advise to me take BEC first, I would have been so much happier, i dont blame anyone, its just that i did not have much knowledge at that time, definitely did not knew this forum. the clock is tiking and i am stuck with the 2 most challenging exams(not to mention tired of studying for long), besides, quanity wise the material is very less in AUd and BEC, after giving tough sections, with low energy level, you would be left out with two easy ones.
