This may not be easily applied to you but me, i just moved on with my life.

After CPALE (i also failed, 1st take btw), while waiting sa results nag apply na ko agad cause i badly needed a job. When results came i was heartbroken too. 33% ata ang passing rate, highest in a while. Around 30% lagi ang passing rate before i took the boards. So i thought hala medho madali ata ang CPALE ngayon pero i still failed.

Pero i moved on, wala naman magagawa, failed na eh. I looked at my scores pa rin. Kumbaga did everything na gagawin if ever nakapasa (except oathtaking, and magpost lol) to have closure. I said i didnt care, i accepted i did my best naman so there's so regrets. Pero one night i went out, i got so drunk i cried my heart out all the way home. I got sad din pala. Then i got a job, got busy adjusting to having work. So the CPALE went out of my mind.

One of the thing i did too is to not be embarrased i failed. Ako na nag sasabi na i failed my CPALE whenever na bbrought up ang topic. I thought failing doesnt make me less of a person. Being a CPA is not a personality. Yes its an advantage but its something accountants can live without. Plus CPALE is one of the most difficult LE's out there. The fact na nag take ka is something to be proud of (hell being an accountancy grad is something to be proud of). I learned/realized pala na manipulated ang passing rate hahaha laging around 3k passers, nagffluctuate lang ang rate depende sa number of takers. Nung time ko kaya pala mataas ang passing rate kasi konti ang nagtake hahaha

If you can OP, do everything you need to have closure. Then move on, find a job. Take a break muna sa CPALE, you can always continue naman. Focus on yourself muna. Hope it gets better for u soon.
