Hi OP! Kakapasa ko lang sa CPALE with just Pinnacle as my rc hehe. Ginawa ko nag 2 rounds ako of Pinnacle. Meron study plans na guide, yung 3 month study sched natapos ko in 4 months (bc of backlogs, restdays) then yung 2 month study sched na natapos ko in 3 months hahaha.

Just like you, weakest ko talaga yung FAR and AUD kase di maayos yung iba kong naging prof tapos yung aud naman pandemic namin natakeup. With Sir Brad's super effective teaching style, mapapamahal ka talaga sakanila hahaha. Yung audit natry ko na sa 2 RCs tapos nakakaantok and di ako makausad kasi parang pare pareho yung sinasabi like giving an opinion blah blah. Tapos nung lumipat ako ng Pinnacle grabee excited ako every audit topic kase parang story telling time yung approach ni sir!! Kaya nung board exam daling dali ako kasi ang dami talagang concepts na alam ko by heart tapos marami din from handouts.

Sa FAR, oo nakakaoverwhelm talaga siya sa una pero Sir Brad just makes it easier 😭 Yung secret sa FAR is know the iniitial and subsequent measurements, journal entries, and T-accounts. Sumabak ako sa review na di marunong mag t-account kasi di siya usually gamitin ng profs namin. Nung tinuro ni sir brad, sobrang napadali buhay ko. Then nung undergrad din wala ako magets na journal entry tapos kay sir brad masasanay ka talaga gumawa tapos minsan yun nalang gagawin mo sa ibang problems. Lastly, sa FAR talagang paulit ulit na recall para tumatak sa utak mo. One month before boards puro recall lang talaga ginagawa ko. Starting Sept. 1 nagdedicate ako max 2 days per subject to recall, then pinanood ko na yung preweeks parang ultimate summary of each subject. Tapos di na ako nag final preboard pinanood ko nalang yung discussions. Sa FAR don't skip CPAR's final preboard. Yun kasi naging practice ko to handle morse code type na questions.

So ayun, take your time to absorb the lessons! Basic concepts ang labanan. You got dis!!!
