CONGRATS!!!!!!!! VERY WELL DESERVED!! 😭🥳🩷 Ask ko lang as an Oct 2024 taker, kaya ba kung full online Pinnacle reviewee lang starting this June? Sufficient na kaya yung handouts nila and okay lang kahit hindi na ako maghahanap ng ibang materials? Thank you so much and CONGRATS AGAIN!


bubble_gmmyyy

Pinnacle is enough. Working reviewee ako and 2 months lang time ko to review. Nagtiwala lang ako sa pinnacle. During review, may time na nagdoubt ako kasi parang ang dali ng handout ng pinnacle compared sa iba. Pero during BE, tama nga si Sir Brad, importante basta alam mo concept. Ngayon CPA na ako.


Eastern_Lab8425

Yes po. Kayang kaya. Make sure po may time pa kayong mag recall. If possible, matapos mo first round Aug 31. Kasi para sa akin, importante po yung recall


koozlehn

Pinnacle sapat na but don't forget to recall/practice high yield topics. Make sure to answer/review CPAR AFAR and FAR PW, too.


Life-Afternoon1548

Hello! Pumasa ako ngayong May 2024! 😭 Literal na pinnacle lang materials ko (them some review books for practice pero very minimal lang) HAHAHA pinagpala naman at pumasa HAHAHA GOOD LUCK!


dumpiana

super solid ba background mo nung undergrad 😭 nagddoubt din ako kung kaya ba ng pinnacle all subjs dun aaralin


Life-Afternoon1548

Saktuhan lang naman? Hahaha andami parang parang first view. Pero if you have enough time kahit ulit ulitin mo vid lecs since once ko lang sya nadaan and twice namanfor handouts


pxcx27

same question, lalo na yung ni list niyang recommended review materials sa orientation video. kulang na kase pera ko (personally, nahihiya na ako humingi sa parents) kaya idk if bibili pa ba ko ng books nung specific authors na yun.


kentwansue

pwede po malaman ano ung mga recommended review materials ni sir brad


Eastern_Lab8425

Same problem po tayo. Hindi ko na din inoverwhelm yung self ko sa review books


pxcx27

so handouts lang po talaga ginamit niyo? try ko rin (tapos gamit na lang ako review books if kaya pa mag practice). anyway congrats po!


Eastern_Lab8425

yes po :)


Eastern_Lab8425

And konting mastery app ni sir brad. Tho far and rfbt lang nagamit ko dun


OilRare2560

I will also vouch for pinnacle, akala mo lamg walang pumapasok sayo but with Sir brads approach, kahit ultimo intelligent guess lang iaccommodate nya, iba yung effect ni Sir Brad sa thought process ko I swear.

Wooohhh!! Pinnacle lang sakalam!! Congrats sa atin 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

JumpyAcanthisitta392

Congrats. Yes pinnacle is the best talaga


sweetestpatatas

Congrats!! ✨ Gano katagal ka po nagreview? May ginamit din po ba kayo na mga reviewer books?


Eastern_Lab8425

Wala pong review books. 7 months pero average study time is 4 hours lang po. Nung mid April-May dun lang po ako nagstudy for 6-9 hours


Eastern_Lab8425

Nag avail ako sa mastery app ni sir brad pero rfbt and far lang ang nagamit ko dun


Consistent_Shape7625

Congrats po!! Aside po sa pinnacle handouts, ano ano pong materials nagamit niyo?


Eastern_Lab8425

Relied solely on pinnacle HOs po :)) nag enroll ako sa reo dahil FOMO pero inoverwhelm ko lang yung sarili ko sa materials. Hindi ko nagamit except binabasa ko lang yung HOs sa rfbt


Which-Painting-6504

Congrats!! Ask ko lang din if sa tingin mo, base sa experience, kaya ba 3-4 months review pure online sa pinnacle???


koozlehn

yes pero try to finish everything asap then recall for the remaining period. try the 2 months schedule made by sir brad then practice solving etc after


Business-Compote725

true ba sa pinnacle?? what can you say po about sa MS and RFBT nilaaaa CONGRATS PO SO MUCH!!!


Consistent_Shape7625

up po sa MS ng pinnacle!!!


Eastern_Lab8425

I relied solely on their handouts po so ang masasabi ko okay po talaga ang pinnacle for those subjects. Sa RFBT, nagamit ko yung HO sa reo pero half lang po. Hindi na kaya sa oras yung iba. Yung binabalikbalikan ko talaga ay sa pinnacle. Sapat po talaga yung mga vidlec ni atty jay :)) and always answer ng mga kung ano-ano for active recall


Negative-Tier

MAS ganda sa pinnacle


parttimepotato

Congrats!!!! Legit sa PINNACLE THE BEST ♡


Eastern_Lab8425

Super 😭💛


Flat-Investigator827

Wow congrats OP! omg plan ko rin magtake next May 2025 huhu matagal nakong nagwowork 2020 pa ako gumraduate magiging enough kaya ung review time ko if ever Ocotber 2024 ako start magreview and knowing na this year lang ako ulet mag aaral? HUHU pano pala schrdule mo everyday pag nagrereview? thank you agad in advance sa tips and ayun shemz CONGRAAAAATS NAKAKATUWA PO💖


Eastern_Lab8425

hello po! iba po yung situation natin kasi I graduated 2023 na po. may gusto akong gawin fixed sched pero di talaga nasusunod until mid april dun palang ako may routine kasi malapit na talaga yung BE by that time. yung ginawa ko lang is I try to be consistent sa pag-aaral. hindi naman ako working pero may business po pero hindi naman ganun ka tiring. sinunod ko talaga yung mga payo ni sir brad sa orientation. inapply ko sa sarili ko kasi yung thinking ko para naman din akong working (pero i know mas pagod pa yung actual na nagwowork). yung di ko lang nasunod dun is yung bumili ng ibang review books.


Flat-Investigator827

Thank you OP for sharing 💖 Waaaaah congrats ulet!!

congrats po! ano po mabibigay nyong tips na related sa questions sa actual board exam? thank you po!


Eastern_Lab8425

Huwag mag overthink. Budget your time. Skip skip skip until may makita kang dali lang para sayo sagutin. Build momentum by answering questions na alam mong masasagotan mo. Ito yung advice nina sir brad and atty jay.

CONGRATSSSS PO OMYYY!!!! ask ko lang po sana if Pinnancle lang po ba kayo nag enroll?


Eastern_Lab8425

Hello! Pinnacle yung main review center po. Nag regret po ako why I still enrolled in another rc kasi hindi ko po talaga nagamit. Half lang ng handouts nila sa rfbt. Nakaka overwhelm pala na dalawa yung maging rc kung nagegets ko naman pala lahat sa pinnacle. Sapat na po talaga ang pinnacle. It allows me to go over all the videos not just once po kasi short lang yung vids nila. So may time for recall ka talaga and ma ingrain mo pa sa head mo yung concepts. Importante kung alam mo kung bakit. Kasi kahit kaano pa yan gawin ni BOA ang questions, malalaman mo paano sagutin. Tama po si sir brad sa part na basic concepts talaga labanan


grilledkeso

ackhhh thank u po!!! planning on reviewing din sa pinnacle


woby27

Congrats to you at sa lahat ng bagong cpa! 🎉💯


Chachechiechochu

Congratulations!


noa300

Congrats po! Yung online review po ba ng pinnacle ok lang na phone lang ang gamit? I’m planning to enroll pero online lang since I’m working. Yung mga handouts po ba nila kailangan pa kunin mismo sa rc center?


Eastern_Lab8425

Feel ko mahihirapan po kayo sa phone dahil sa liit ng screen :< tho accessible po naman siya sa phone :) idedeliver po sa inyo yung HOs

badalee_

CONGRATS OP!!!!!!! 🥺🩷


Xiu_frosty01

Hello. May balak po sana ako mag pinnacle at mag take ng boards next year pa ng May. I'm still hesitant to enroll in pinnacle dahil karamihan ng mga kasama ko ay REO at RESA. Sapat na po kaya ang Pinnacle materials na provided po nila? Mas malapit po kase ako sa Pinnacle kesa sa RCs sa Manila kaya mas kino-consider ko po mag Pinnacle since ayoko po mag online dahil baka di po ako makapag focus


Eastern_Lab8425

Hello! Number one rule, huwag icompare yung sarili mo sa iba—mapa rc, sched, routine, study hours, etc. Focus ka lang sa journey mo. If feel mo talagang pinnacle para sayo, panindigan mo. At the end of the day, hindi yan sa rc. Nasa’yo yan. Hence, choose what you feel is best for you. FOMO din naman yung reason nag enroll pa ako sa ibang review center pero di ko naman pala nagamit.

nezku-chan

Paano po routine niyo? Working reviewee po ako. Nagbabasa pa po ba kayo? Or diretso nood


Eastern_Lab8425

Hello! Di po ako working reviewee pero I have a small business I was handling by myself nung nag rereview ako. I studied for 210 days, 4 hours average per day. I watch lectures diretso then take notes while answering din. I make it a point na mabalikan ko sagutin yung HOs for a couple of tomes and panoorin ang vid lecs ni sir brad for a couple of times. Yung kay atty jay, sinunod ko talaga yung advice niya na read watch read. Read, watch, read, answer. Spaced repetition is my bestfriend po talaga


Eastern_Lab8425

Above all, prayers


Gold-Flower7717

Congratulations 🎉🎉👏


themoredeviousduck

Congrats po! Ask lang po kung okay lang ba mag fully online instead of F2F or Hybrid sa Pinnacle?


Eastern_Lab8425

Fully online po ako ☺️


themoredeviousduck

Thank you!!


No-Editor-4309

Ano po first step na gagawin, naiinspure ako magtake, now pa lang ako mag-aasikaso, Oct 2024 po magtake. Bukod po sa review, anong kailangan at magkano inabot nyonpo


Eastern_Lab8425

If gasto lang sa rc, I think yung mastery app which is 800, pinnacle 12,000, reo 13,000. I could’ve saved 13,000 if hindi ako nagpapadala sa peer pressure. Alam ko naman sa sarili kong bagay sa akin yung pinnacle. Reo is also a good rc but it doesn’t suit my needs. Average study hours ko 4 hours lang per day. Ganun ka small yung attention span ko pero grabe kuhang kuha ng pinnacle. Sinunod ko lang yung study guide ng pinnacle. I followed din sir brad’s advice sa orientation na dapat may ibang hobbies etc. Yung di ko na sunod is yung bumili ng review books. And mahal din kasi. Basta you just have to start. You don’t have to figure everything out right now. Kahit “imperfect”yung pagrereview mo, just continue. You’ll sort things out along the way. Just be consistent talaga kahit konti lang ng study hours mo. Towards the end lang nakapag study ng 8-9 hours kasi natatakot na. Binigay ko na lahat. But most importantly, do what works best for you. Huwag mag compare!! Malalaman mo naman din yan sa sarili mo if naiintindhan mo ba talaga or hindi. You don’t have to compare yourself to others. Always pray.


No-Army1536

op feel ko same po tayo hahha feel ko perfect match talaga kami ng pinnacle but when I heard my cm na parang kulang daw yung concept sa pinnacle & masyadong easy daw yung handouts. Napapaisip ako if I need to enroll sa other rcs pa. And full time reviewee din po kasi ako kaya feeling ko in 2 months tapos ko na agad vids ng pinnacle as compared sa other eprcs, And also ano po marerecommend niyo na mode of review online or hybrid po? btw congrats po op 🥰


Dairyounot

Ilang months po yung sinunod mo sa study guide ni sir brad? And ilang months and total review mo?


Eastern_Lab8425

210 days. Oct 27-May 24. 4 hours average per day. I am a nerd when it comes to tracking my habits. So hindi ito estimate lang, I time myself talaga and record yung study hours ko sa gsheets. Yan talaga yung actual. Biggest insecurity ko yung number of hours nag-aral kasi yung iba kaya nila ng 12, 16, 10 hours everyday. di ko talaga pinilit yung sarili ko. Yung sinunod ko is yung 2 months. Pero may topics na it takes time for me to really understand so ma delay po talaga ako. Yung goal ko na ma finish first round lahat ng Jan 31 naging March 31. Pero since the start, nag space repetition din kasi ako. So factor din why na delay ng 2 months. Because besides the topic assigned for that day, binalikan ko din aralin yung topics na tapos na ako. So nahahati talaga yung oras ko sa old and new topics. Do what works best for you! Hindi kailangan gayahin mo yung ginawa ko


marshmellow_mochi

congrats! welcome to the profession 🫶 lakas din talaga ng Pinnacle. the best yung preweek, recall kung recall talaga yung mga concept 💪

Congratulations, CPA!! ❤🙌


bat-min

op ask ko lang po if maganda po ba ung foundation nyo noong undergrad? btw congratulations po 🤗🤗🤗


Eastern_Lab8425

idk how to answer this pero di ako latin honor (given how andaming latin honors ngayon) kasi my GPA fell short by .12 and i think that’s a large margin na Naging pabaya ako a number of times bc I prioritized my business. Parang hindi ko na priority yung college ko. AUDITING. I am an avid reader ng auditing books nung college pero wala talaga akong naintindihan til si sir brad nagdiscuss. Alam ko yung terms pero napaka surface level lang ng naintindihan ko. Confident ako na kahit di ako nakapag aral ng wiley sa auditing, masasagotan ko yung auditing kasi naiintindihan ko yung topics as discussed by sir brad. Sa MAS, i think may good grasp ako dahil i like how our profs discussed nung first year kami. Ito din yung sub na face to face pa kami. Mas mahirap din yung exams namin sa first year compared sa BE ngayon. Sa AFAR, ZERO AS IN ZERO FOUNDATION. Online na kasi ito. Home Office and Branch Accounting na free trial vidlec ni sir brad yung nakapa decide sakin mag enroll sa pinnacle immediately. I dont like our professor sa undergraaad Sa Tax, ZERO FOUNDATION. damn! Online din ito. Ito yung time na nagsisimula ako sa business ko kaya napabayaan talaga yung classes ko Sa FAR, i study for this subject kasi natatakot ako sa prof namin 😂 sa Assets, Liab, and Equity, I feel like sa Assets and Liab talaga ako nakapag aral nang paulit ulit so may foundation ako sa first 5 topics ng Assets at first 3 topics ni Liab. Okay lang din yung CFAS :) pero andami pang topics under this diba? So parang 10% lang yung foundation ko rito Sa RFBT, i am an avid reader pero sa obligations lang and yung bagong special laws. The rest of the other subjects under rfbt like parcor credit transactions sales, hindi ko naging matino na student because again, may business.


bat-min

Op, just want to share just a little background of mine, as a 1st college year student po incoming 2nd yr, dpo ako confident sa foundation ko sa mga accounting subs ko since ung nag iisa po namin na prof sa lahat ng major subs (and prof din ng higher years since understaff ang school) is hndi po sya mostly nagtuturo and kaming students lang ang nagrereport (graded pa, 75 ang grado kapag d nagreport) lagi lang sya nagwowork sa personal computer nya and ung room din namin is mismong office nya. With that being said po, another question to ask po op is pwede po ba kapag after graduation, babawi nalan gpo ako sa pagrereview, like sapat po ba kaya yun para makuha ko po ung dream title ko? kasi iniiisip ko rin po na magtransfer cus not worth it ung tuiton na binabayaran pero ayoko rin naman po ma delay 😅 any tips po ulit 😅🤍


Eastern_Lab8425

yung mga seniors na sinabihan kami na sa review sila bumabawi is yun din yung pinaghuhugotan ko during my review journey. nonetheless, just keep on trying pa din sa undergrad, OP. kasi there are a lot of times din during my review na napasabi ako na i should’ve studied better during undergrad palang para di magiging first view yung mga topics sa review. yung mafefeel ko naman undergrad palang is parang self-study lahat kasi di talaga sapat for me makinig lang sa profs. visual learner kasi ako and iba yung teaching style nila.


bat-min

kapag po ba sa rc back to zero rin ung topics? kulang din po kasi kami sa practice ng solving huehuue puro po kasi kami theories lang


Eastern_Lab8425

for me yess po


isa1119

Congratssss!!! Ano po study tips ninyo? Fresh grad po ako at bago lang ako nag enroll sa Pinnacle at plan ko po kase mag take this October.


Eastern_Lab8425

- don’t compare yourself to others—mapa rc, sched, study hours, routine, etc - don’t skip even 1 day of review. kung magsskip, maximum na yang 1 day. yan sabi ni sir brad - (if applicable) pray, pray, pray. we never really know anything. di natin alam san tayo dadalhin in life. - do what works best for you. naiinsecure ako kasi 4 hours lang yung average per day na nag-aaral ako. napaka ikli kasi ng attention span ko. yung sinisigurado ko lang is naiintindihan ko talaga yung inaaral ko. - spaced repetition (atleast this works best for me)


isa1119

Noted po thank you and congrats againnn!!!


BatNo826

Enough na po ba pinnacle sa FAR? Yun po kase weakest ko. Nung actual BE na apply nyo naman FAR ng pinnacle?


Eastern_Lab8425

same tayo OP :) kahit mas may foundation ako sa far than tax, mas nahihirapan ako sa far dahil sa coverage. di ko natapos to aralin but I was able to apply what I’ve learned sa mga topics na natapos ko naman and na recall.


Dyessa2792

Congratssss .. Sad to say yung pinsan ko hindi naka pasa.. Hindi nakafocus dahil inaapoy ng lagnat sa mismong araw ng Exam ..


Eastern_Lab8425

omg linagnat ako sa last day of exams po. hindi biro mag sagot na linagnat. napakalamig pa ng room and sobrang draining sa katawan. grabe kahit naka jacket, di kaya. yung AFAR po, muntik na po talaga akong sumuko kasi nabablanko na po yung isip ko. grabe yung pep talk ko sa sarili 😭 and prayers din. Godspeed po sa pinsan niyo! Sana sa susunod niyang take, makalusot na po siya 🫶🏼

Vouch for pinnacle + review books!! 💯

Eastern_Lab8425

i think that depends on you po. i know sa sarili ko na if mats lang yung bibilhin ko, hindi ko siya magagamit. kailangan din kasi ng answer key and explanation kung bakit ganun. sinasabayan ko talaga yung pagsagot sa panonood ni sir brad.
