AUD is an interesting exam because it isn't just memorization, you also have to use common sense and logic to solve the problems.  I wasn't expecting this and it ended up being my weakest exam.  But I also spent half the time on AUD that I did on REG and 1/3rd the time on AUD that I did on FAR so I still think FAR and REG are harder.

In terms of hardest, I look at like what was the hardest to prepare for.  They're all hard if your now prepared.  FAR required the absolute most preparation and studying.   I never thought I would pass because there is just so much information and things change so what you learned in school doesn't necessarily apply today.  What it comes down to is you have to do the studying and practice questions.  If you don't, you won't pass any of them.

REG is a challenge because you are so strapped for time.
FAR is a challenge because it's a mile wide and an inch deep
BEC is a challenge because it hits you with things from out of the blue
AUD is a challenge because its twisted to distort any knowledge you thought you had.

 

So far i agree
