More Difficult - M or 4/C?

[success108]

For those of you who are studying for/have studied for exams M and/or C, which of the two do you think takes more time to study for? Which of the two do you think was harder?

I'm leaning toward C because its manuals seem to have less material than M, although not by much. However, doesn't C build on the material covered in M? Any advice is appreciated.

I think there are quite a few threads started about this too, have you tried Search?

The concensus seems to be, do M before next year's changes. Also most people considered M to be easier than C. A quick search was all it took, I apoplogize for taking up your time.

Haha, it's not a matter of taking up mine or someone else's time. I just think you can get more information from the collection of previous posts than you could by starting a new one

Considering the conclusions you draw when you do your own research, I don't blame you for asking others to help you out.

Thanks for the link, I was going off what people mentioned in this thread. In both threads some people mention that the material for M is harder but the exam is easier to pass than C. If I consider M and C to be at about the same difficulty level (I know this may be a big assumption), I think M is the better exam to consider this year because of upcoming changes.

I dont know why you even started this thread because you ignored everything that was said to you.

I think that's what most people would say. Unless you have a very strong background in the Exam C material I would probably suggest taking Exam M first.

Edit: This is based on my opinion that Exam M and C are pretty comparable in terms of difficulty. Some people who think M is significantly harder may tell you differently.

Why didn't you jokers tell me this three months ago?!

haha, maybe that's not what most people would tell you then. I guess I don't stay very caught up on the 900 "Should I take C before M?" threads. I thought that people were saying to get M out of the way since it was becoming two exams in 2007. Is that not what the word on the street is?
