Congrats to the 361 passers and to all takers! I’m rooting for your future endeavors! Sa susunod, kami naman po, cutieeee. Puhon ????
14 percent last CPALE, and then 15 percent this year. Your standards are too damn high but your exam system is poorly made! It’s just plain pretentious. For what?? to make it ostensibly seem as if the CPALE is the hardest board exam in the Philippines??? PRETENTIOUS!
Correct…npaka daming errors s questions…ung mga tables distored…ung mga forms n nilagay outdated
Low wages, difficult retention policies, horrible working conditions, and overly competitive environment. Now add low passing rate.
When the situation is design to make you fail, is it still the students’ fault if they don’t become accountants, or are we just unnecessarily making the system difficult for prestige?
I’m not an accountant, even far from it. But I’ve hired some and the horror stories they share are.. horrifying.
