To all October 2016 CPA Examinees!

The 4-day exam is totally over. And now.. the waiting game begins.

After the last day of exams (Oct 9 - Sun), I felt relieved.

The day after the exam (Oct 10 - Mon), anxiety begins to strike.

Maybe I’m not the only one experiencing this, so i decided to share this to you (whoever you are reading this). Days from now the results will come out, the moment we’ve all been waiting for and at the same time the truth that will either make us or break us. Anxiety, confusion, uneasiness could easily consume you at this point of time but good news! You don’t have to deal with that anymore!

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. - Mark 11:24

The exam is already over. Wag mo na alalahanin yung mga items na di mo sure kung nasagutan mo ng tama o hindi. Worrying will not help you at all.

What you can do now is:

KEEP CALM, “PRAY”, Have FAITH and BELIEVE that God is a God who makes all things possible! Walang imposible kay Lord!

You did your best and now let God do the rest. CONGRATULATIONS, 2016 CPAs! :)

Congratulations! Ano ng plano mo?

Halos dalawang taon din ang ginugol sa pagod, oras at paglustay ng pera sa pagrereview. At last, eto na yun. Lisensyado na ko. Eh ano ngayon?

Unang Subok.

Bahala na. Basta may masagot lang ako sa tanong na kung anong plano ko pagka-graduate. Binabahayan ng mga demonyo ang utak ko na nagsasabing ”Malabo yan te. Masyadong mahirap at nakakastress. Di ka nga makalayo sa nanay mo, ang pumasok pa kaya sa review? Malabo yan.” Kaya wala. Walang ka kumpiya-kumpiyansa sa sarili. Nagexam, Bagsak.

Pangalawang Subok.

Medyo nagkaroon ng konting confidents ng masubukang mag exam. Hindi naman pala ganoon kahirap. Basics lang, hindi lang talaga ako nag-aral. Kaya sige, Isa pa. Pero this time, tangna i-tatarget ko na to. Pasok ulit sa parehong review center, pwesto sa Row 1, mag diet sa break pero di ko naman tinigilan ang paglalandi. Text dito, text pa more. Naging distracted sa friendzoned at pagiging abanger. Sabayan pa ng mga tumatambay pa rin na demonyo sa utak ko na patuloy na nagsasabing “Malabo yan.” Hindi nga siya na-fall saken, ako naman ang na-fall... sa exam. Bagsak Part 2.

Pangatlong Subok. 

Eto yung subok na muntik ng hindi matuloy. Buti na lang may internet, libro at ang walang sawang suporta ng isang ina.

Pero bago yan, Time travel muna tayo.

Alam ko naman kasing hindi ako bobo, tangna consistent 1st section ako at minsan nakakalusot sa top 10 kaya  alam kong kahit papano eh hindi lang buto ang laman ng utak ko. Pero sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan eh na-diagnosed akong may anxiety disorder. Yung tipong kung ikaw minsan lang napapraning, ako mas madalas at sa walang sapat na rason. Nasubukan ko iyong hindi pumasok sa school dahil sa sobrang takot na baka mag panic attack ako. Kaya minsan kelangan pa kong samahan ng nanay ko sa pagpasok. Dyahe yun para sa kanya kasi may trabaho siya kaya ayun nadepressed naman ako. Naging okay nung una nung under meds ako, Nakasurvive ng 1st sem sa college, bawas ng dosage sa gamot hanggang sa tinopak nanaman ako. Dagdag ulit ng dosage, naging okay, bawas sa dosage, masyadong mahirap ang buhay balik sa dating dosage. Naging parang pirated DVD na paulit ulit lang. Hanggang sa napagdesisyunan ng pamilya na itigil na.

Pagkatapos ng una at pangalawang subok, labo labo na. Pero naniniwala ka ba na minsan sa buhay ng isang tao, darating yung punto na sukong suko ka na talaga sa buhay tapos biglang makakaranas ka ng Divine Intervention. Yung parang ipuputok na sana ng holdaper sa ulo mo yung baril kaso saktong naunahan na siyang barilin ni “Tagapagligtas” Puro internet lang kasi ako nun hanggang sa may napanood ako sa youtube na kagaya ko rin. Namulat ako sa dami ng sumusuporta sakanya dahil tulad ko, nakikita rin nila ang sarili nila sakanya. Nagkaroon ako ng konting bilib sa sarili na kung kaya niya, kaya ko din. Hindi ako huminto sa pagtuklas at patuloy nagbasa ng mga self help books. Pagkatapos makabuo ng konting lakas ng loob, napag desisyunan kong mag-Baguio.

Bahala na. Masyado ng maraming oras ang nasayang. Tulad ng inaasahan, hindi naging madali pero kahit papano masasabi kong may nagawa akong bagay na ni minsan hindi ko inakalang magagawa ko. Nagka-relasyon pa ko nun, kaya dalawang “bagong experience” sa buhay ko ang hinarap ko. Sinabayan ko ang pagrereview at ang pagbabasa ng self help books. Naging parang anchor ko yun sa tuwing minsan gusto ko na lang mag-impake at umuwi sa nanay ko. Nakakapressure pero masaya dahil sobrang madami akong natutunan kaso hindi naman naging masaya ang buhay pag-ibig. Brineak ako sa kalagitnaan ng review. Hindi ako natatakot maging mag-isa, mas natakot ako na baka makaapekto yun sa pagaaral ko. Inisip ko na lang na message yun ni Lord saken na hindi ko pwedeng i-sabay yun sa pagrereview. Tuloy ang laban. Nakatulong ang pagiging broken hearted, mas napapadalas ang overtime sa review at pag attend sa weekend class. Pagdating ng board exam, tawag ulit ng rescue sa nanay. Umiyak sa first day, Nagtae at nagsuka sa 2nd week at Voila....... Conditioned!

Sa hinaba haba ng kwento nairaos din. Pero ang sumunod na malaking tanong eh  “Ano ng plano ko? Hindi ko pa alam”. Kahit na sa kaloob looban ko e may sagot. Medyo tinatambayan lang nanaman ako ng mga demonyo sa utak ko. Pero ang pinagkaiba nga lang ngayon, mas hindi na sila nakakatakot tignan. Dahil mas naniniwala akong darating ulit yung panahon na mag kukuwento ulit ako ng bagong karanasan na akala ko hindi ko kaya pero kaya naman pala.

How I study for the CPA Exam

Hey guys!!

I have been getting a lot of questions about how I study. So background story, I first started studying in April 2016. I started with Roger, and didn’t take it serious at all. Due to while in college I didn’t study much and received good grades.  Fast forward, I paid for 7 different test, took 4 of those I paid for and failed all of them. So I took some time off to really think if I wanted the CPA behind my name.

I received a study plan from ( @yay_cpanfit_jrny ) and I fine-tuned it to my personalized schedule.

Basis concept, one chapter (section) spend two days on. I am using roger, so a chapter would be a section. So I used Roger’s template whatever section he said would do on that day one section, two section. How many, and I split it over two days.

Day one I will watch lectures, read the book, take notes. I normally read the book first so I have an understanding. Watching lectures are harder for me to follow after 10 minutes, ADD starts kicking in I tell you. So reading and note taking for me keeps me focused. And I will def. watch lectures for topics I do not understand. I’ll make flashcards of vocab words also.

On the second day is H/W day. I do the MCQ, make flash cards of MCQ I got wrong. When I do MCQ the first time, I do have the book out and I’m looking through it to find the answers or similar problems to walk through it. I also make notes on MCQ I got wrong, like key points that the answer solutions. Yes the first time I go through the MCQ I suck and I am getting 30-40%. After I do the number Rogers smartpath says, I will go back and do only the wrong questions. I will either already know the answer cause I saw it before but I will force myself to tell myself why it is the correct answer.

After every 3-4 sections, I do progress test. I do quiz with 15 questions. And depending on how many questions are in those sections I’ll do about half of them. Yes this changes my score in the smartpath section. So after I do half of the question, I go back and do quiz of only wrong answers to bring up my smartpath back to target met. I also do progress test for all sections I’ve covered, I only do about 3 quizzes of 15 questions each. And if my target met changes, I’ll do some more questions in that section to get my target met again.

On weekends I try and do a whole section in a day, just because I have more time to study and break up between morning and night!

I am on a 9 month study plan. I did make sure that I have one day a week off from studying. I also made my exam days not around important days coming up. Memorial Day my birthday, homecoming, thanksgiving.

With my study plan, I should be done by December! If you need an excel of my schedule just let me know. As this is extremely not detailed.

I hope this helps.
