REO CPALE Review Program

I used to have a weak foundation in accounting and would often get the lowest marks among my classmates during undergrad. But during my review with REO, I began to heal from those past failures. With just four months of review, I’m truly grateful for how amazing the REO reviewers are. I focused on their live lectures, and whenever I didn’t fully understand a topic, I’d rewatch the pre-recorded sessions. Before the boards, I made sure to go through their quick vids. Even though I wasn’t able to finish all the materials, I realized that many concepts from different topics are actually connected — just reworded or presented differently. That insight made studying so much easier. I’m especially thankful to the reviewers who pointed that out because they made accounting feel less intimidating and more manageable. I also learned that it’s not all about memorizing codals, formulas, or rules — understanding the concepts and asking “why” makes all the difference. While taking my boards in Pampanga, I saw Sir Wency and his mom cheering for us. I wanted to approach him, but I was honestly too starstruck! 😅 To all my reviewers, I really hope we can take a picture together during the testimonial. I actually skipped the patasa session on purpose so I could push myself to work ten times harder during the BE, because I wanted to earn that moment — to finally meet and thank everyone who helped me become a CPA. 💙 The journey wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t impossible either — and for that, I’ll always be grateful
