Mine is similar to you all.
Accounting 1 wasn't difficult at all, so I exerted the same effort on Accounting 2. However, now I'm in their "Managerial Accounting" which actually translates to Cost Accounting and I am completely burnt-out on accounting.
Reading 2 books is fine, but a 3rd on accounting is nuts.
That being said, Cost accounting IS actually harder, not because of the content, but because the testing time is 1/2 of what the other accounting classes are.
So to answer your question, it is not More or Less difficult, it is a different type of accounting, not necessarily more "advanced" by all mean.s
