List ICAEW CFAB modules in order of difficulty

Hello all,

Can anyone here who's sat the ICAEW CFAB exams list them in order of difficulty in your opinion, 1 being the hardest, 6 the easiest?

I'm planning on sitting the exams two at a time and I'd prefer to do one difficult one with one not so difficult one if possible.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards

Thanks a lot for the reply, the tuition provider told me that accounting and assurance were the two hardest so you've burst my bubble ha

Based on the opinions and actual marks from my colleagues

1. Law - Average mark is about 60 ish and it is one of the most common 6 that people fail at my firm
2. MI - Depends on the person
3. BTF - Average mark is about 70 ish
4. Accounting - Most people got 80+
5. Assurance - Literally everyone passes but higher marks is harder to achieve if that matters
6. PoT-Literally a memory game)

But saying that, each of them are difficult in their own right.
