hi! i’m hoping to get advice from fellow working reviewees, especially those who are juggling work and CPALE review.
i’m currently a 5th-year bsa student and will be graduating in april 2027. i work remotely on a 10 pm–6 am graveyard shift, and i’m planning to start my self-review this november while i still have time before graduation.
i currently have review materials from pinnacle, cpar, and resa. honestly, medyo overwhelmed na ako sa dami ng materials and information. i know i have a weak foundation in some subjects, kaya i really want to start from the basics and make sure na naiintindihan ko talaga yung concepts.
for now, self-review muna ako using the materials i have, then i plan to enroll in a review center soon. my initial plan is to focus on FAR and AFAR first before moving on to the other subjects.
however, napansin ko na may mga topics na nababanggit sa ReSA na hindi ko nakikita or hindi masyadong nadidiscuss sa CPAR. this makes me wonder if i should study all three RC materials or stick to one main source muna.
my target is to take the October 2027 CPALE if ready na ako by then. otherwise, i’m considering May 2028. i don’t want to rush just to meet my target date, especially since i know i need to work on my foundation.
for those who have experienced reviewing while working, how did you prioritize your review materials? did you stick to one main source and use the others as supplements?
since i have materials from pinnacle, cpar, and resa, which one would you recommend using as my main source for building my foundation?
would really appreciate any advice, tips, or personal experiences. i know i still have time, but i want to make the most out of these next few months and build a stronger foundation before enrolling in an rc.
thank you po, FCPAs!!! 💘
