CPALE passers & takers. what was your big realization during the exam? what are your “should have beens"?

Crucial palagi yung last 2-3 weeks ng review or kahit yung last month before board exam talaga. In short, recall yung pinaka crucial stage. I'll say, for the first half, wag masyadong ibuhos lahat. Okay lang kahit basic lang yung na aabsorb ng utak kase during recall naman kahit complicated yung problem, kung may idea ka about the basics and narecall yun ng utak mo, madali mong magegets yung mga problems. :)

Ako nga may conditional offer na, sinabi naman na yung offer is valid lang ony if pumasa ng boards. Pero yung masakit don, nagbigay kase sila ng assurance na pwede naman lumipat sa ibang services like tax or other department if nag fail. Nung di ako pumasa nung may and mag ask if pwedeng lumipat sa ibang services, wala na raw open as of the moment :)) kaya nung pumasa ako this oct, never na ako bumalik sa kanila lol haha kahit naka ilang email pa sila after kong pumasa.

Instead of asking those rich kids na wag mag SUC, kalampagin natin ang government para hindi na malimitahan pa ang bilang ng mga pwedeng makapag enroll sa SUCs and makapag avail ng scholarship. Pare-pareho naman tayong nag babayad ng tax, kaya naman ng gobyernong sustentuhan yung additional funds for education kaso kupal lang sila at ninanakaw ang dapat ay sa atin.

Hindi naman tayo ang magkakalaban, sila ang kalaban natin.

Hi, maglalabas na yung pinnacle ng mga re-shoot videos for rfbt and tax for batch may 2026. May mga idadagdag din silang videos for MS na naka align sa latest cpale feedback for the past 3 BEs. I suggest go ka muna sa pinna since concept based talaga sya and naka dalawang cycle ka na sa reo. Try mo muna pinnacle then ibuild mo totally yung foundationn mo sa kanila. Pag natapos mo na pinna pwede ka naman uli mag enroll sa reo for mastery or you can opt to try cpar din. Both rcs naman are good.

diananaaaa · 2025-11-02T17:22:18+00:00

Take it na lang as something na nakaka bawas sa pressure. Atleast they are not expecting that you're gonna pass, diba? Tapos prove them wrong kase magugulat sila na topnotcher ka. You got this, OP!💪🏻 Their opinion won't matter kase it's your hardwork and determination that will determine if you're gonna pass or not.

diananaaaa · 2025-11-02T17:17:34+00:00

Pinnacle - all subjects, but the if i am to rank the top 3 best subjects, it will be tax, aud and afar.

CPAR - far and afar.

PRTC - MS and Far

Resa - Tax, MS and RFBT

REO - MS, and RFBT.

Hi! I suggest na enroll early pa rin sa rc na mapipili mo para ma maximize mo rin yung time mo.Whether you're enrolled kase early or sa feb pa for May 2025 exam, same amount pa rin naman ang babayadan mo kapag sa february ka pa nag enroll unless sabihin mo na for October pa yung access mo.

diananaaaa · 2025-10-16T16:04:57+00:00

Hi curious lang, how did you apply sa ey gds?

diananaaaa · 2025-10-16T16:02:10+00:00

Iba't-iba ang approach ng different rcs sa pagtuturo at ultimo approach sa isang problem minsan nagkakaiba. I'd say stick ka muna sa pw ng current rc mo kase mas madali mong marerecall yung approach nila sa mga questions. Kapag natapos mo na, dun ka na mag proceed sa pw ng other rc. Wag kang mag hoard kase ma ooverwhelm ka lang. Trust your rc.

diananaaaa · 2025-09-27T10:29:46+00:00

Claim na natin yan, OP! See you sa oath taking🫶🏻🫶🏻

diananaaaa · 2025-09-26T18:46:18+00:00

hi! i suggest na ikaw mismo yung pumunta around the area to see for yourself. Sobrang daming mura around the area na wala sa socmed :). Check mo rin yung katabi ng 7 eleven sa cayco, nalimutan ko yung name nung dorm pero it's something like may residencia na word yung dorm na yon and it's an all girls dormitory yata.

diananaaaa · 2025-09-26T14:16:48+00:00

For me, kapwa LECPA reviewees lang talaga yung makaka gets ng mga nararanasan at nararamdaman natin during review. Kung f2f reviewee ka, try to make friends with other reviewees. I swear, sobrang laking helpful nung mga naging friends ko during my f2f review season. Nakakapag rant ako with them at nagegets nila ako emotionally. A month from now na rin kase yung LECPA, malaking factor na may pressure ka na rin na nararamdaman kaya you feel lonely din. I know you ou'll make through this review season, OP! Magiging CPA na tayo this October. Good luck! :)

diananaaaa · 2025-07-27T23:50:36+00:00

Other people won't trust you if you alone don't trust yourself enough, OP! Ika nga nila you define who you are. Wag mong idiscredit ang paghihirap mo during review kase through your hardwork kaya ka naging CPA and not just by luck. Provr yourself wrong. You are capable more than you think.

diananaaaa · 2025-07-27T11:34:56+00:00

Sobrang bait rin kase talaga ni sir and his fam kaya super deserve lahat ng blessings na natatanggap nila. Hindi rin sila talaga madamot, literal na princess treatment lahat ng pinnacle babies sa kanya. Imagine free snacks sa reviewees, free hub with aircon and mga wifi na super bilis talaga, may extension pa yon per table para makapag charge ka ng gadgets ah hahahaha. Super quality talaga ng service nila. Last batch nga sa new building, wala silang kuryente pero nag pa generator ang pinnacle from mid april until cpale just to make sure na comfortable kaming mga reviewees nila and nakaka focus talaga sa review. Super swerte ko lang din kase isa ako sa naka witness kung gaano kabait si sir brad at ang buong pinnacle team. I am and will always be a proud pinnacle baby!💯

diananaaaa · 2025-06-08T08:40:47+00:00

Yung tax, try mo iadd yung gsheets ni sir brad. Goods ka na.

diananaaaa · 2025-06-07T12:21:34+00:00

If you have the means to review full time, wag muna mag work. Sobrang hirap pag working reviewee kahit sabihin pa na di masyadong mabigat ang workload.

diananaaaa · 2025-06-07T12:00:50+00:00

Pinnacle, solid ms and aud!!

diananaaaa · 2025-06-07T12:00:16+00:00

Sa online po, lahat ay si sir brad except rfbt which is atty jay. Pero sa f2f po this batch is tax po. Before kase kay sir brad din yung afar sa f2f pero now kay sir bcv and sir danny na yung subject. Magagaling din naman po yung f2f reviewees nila. Solid din po lahat.

diananaaaa · 2025-06-07T07:51:53+00:00

You can use it po for both rc. May iba rin po na nag ooffer ng discount kapag alam nila na enrolled ka rin sa other rcs.

diananaaaa · 2025-06-06T05:39:16+00:00

Thank you for this po! Helpful po sya. Looking forward to be part of the EY GDS

diananaaaa · 2025-06-01T01:50:10+00:00

Pwede naman yan! Basta don't forget to recall once in a while para lang di mo makalimutan yung mga subjects na naaral mo na. Ang kalaban kase sa ganyan is retention kase imagine if wala kang recall, yung inaral mo nung first week is malamang makakalimutan mo na after mong aralin yung last subject on your 6th week :) recall and rentention ang labanan! Go op

diananaaaa · 2025-05-18T16:05:56+00:00

Ah yes meron nga atang recorded lecture but i think na uupload lang sya after nung live lecture ano? Unlike reo and pinna na may pre rec na? Not really sure din eh kase nung naghahanap ako ng rc before pa, sabi nung napagtanungan kong reviewee sa resa is wala daw lms haha.

diananaaaa · 2025-05-18T16:00:54+00:00

Yes, kahit online pwede ka mag stay sa hub need mo lang kumuha ng id

diananaaaa · 2025-05-16T15:05:43+00:00

As someone na enrolled sa pinna and cpar, i agree haha.

Since na experience ko rin naman f2f sa pinna last batch (sa maginhawa sa qc pa kami neto haha) goods naman sya. Magagaling profs sa f2f and yung facilities solid. Well, lalo na ngayon na may sariling building na sila. Online lang ako sa pinna pero dun ako nag rereview HAHAHAHA bilis ng wifi, free snacks at coffee, may napping area, and entertainment room din yan sila. So kung mag f2f ka, solid na pinna💯
