70-640
70-642
70-643

    I figured 299 was my hardest exam, 620 and A+ and Net+ were my easiest.

    There are some other factors that should be taken into account.

    For example, some exams can seem incredibly hard or fairly easy depending on whether you've taken other exams. So, the order in which you take exams has a definite affect on perceived difficulty.

    Another issue is whether you mean actually passing the exam is easy or the questions themselves are easy to do. You could have simple rote trivia and just miss enough not to pass or you could have complex, convoluted scenarios that are to figure out.

    I think it's subjective. Exams are always easy if you know subject well.
    For me:
    70-640 = 8
    70-642 = 6
    70-646 = 5
    70-680 = 8
    2013 to do list:
    [70-413] [70-414]
