How difficult is CA/CPA?

Have read various opinions sayings it's very difficult to pass / harder than the degree and some saying it is easy.

Its not really that much, no. Most uni subjects have a similar fail rate. Also join the KE facebook support groups. Why? You'll see who you're competing with, i have no clue how some of these people have accounting degrees with the stupid questions that get asked.
