Langya, nakakarelate na ako dun sa sinasabi ng mga basketball fans na yung mga center daw eh injury prone ang paa dahil hindi kinakaya ang bigat ng katawan.

Eh after graduating from college almost 2 years na ako bum naging couch potato talaga at naparami pa kain ng fastfood dahil wala katulong wala marunong magluto. Tapos ngayon grabe ang itinaba ko lagpas 30 kg na ata nadagdag sa weight ko, at pag tumatayo ako ng matagal ngayon o may ginagawang physical activity ramdam ko na sobrang bilis mapagod at sumakit ang paa ko. Parang di na din kinakaya weight ko lalo di sanay katawan ko sa bigat dahil payat ako dati.. tsk tsk gusto kong makabalik sa around 150 pounds na weight at slim fit kaso lagi talaga gutom hirap labanan ng kalam ng sikmura

Ako din...basketball sumira ng tuhod ko...

Afaik bar exam is considered the toughest. But yes, CPA board is probably the 2nd most difficult to pass.

heh heh.

Dami na article written about it. Every year yan naman sinasabi after the bar exam or the CPA board exam. I thought it is common knowledge.

Sabagay kung mahina ka sa math malamang hindi babagay engr courses or CPA sa'yo baka ibang course.

Sa akin lang sa nababasa ko kasi halos taon taon yan lagi sinasabi na pinaka-mahirap. Also daki ko kilala na CPA pero hindi naging lawyer. Merin din mga doktors na at gusto pa mag-bar pero hindi kinaya. Yung isa take 3 bago napasa, ate ng kabarkada ko.

Kaya based on my experience yan dalawang yang ang toughest.

When I took the CPA board exam, we were still using a 24-column pad and had to write manually all the figures and financial statements. Malas lang kung pangit handwriting mo cross agad ang examiner.

Today, it is all multiple choice though computer audit has been added to the questionnaires. Still I tend to believe that it is easier to pass the board exam now as I interviewed a lot of board passers who cannot answer the basic accounting concepts. Nasanay sa multiple choice.

Now I started college with a 1-year stint in medtech hoping to proceed to medical school but memorizing a lot of subjects and latin medical terms proved too much for me. And the rest is history.

Physician licensure ata ang kasunod na mahirap sa bar exam
Dream, magkukuya na pala ako sayo, hehehe! kasi multiple choice na inabutan ko e. Pero to be fair naman sa era natu mas malawak naman ang subject of examination kaysa dati. Meron din akong ka batchmate na nag shift sa business admin. kasi hindi kinaya ang calculus nangamote baga. Pero sa batch nila siya ang naging CPA, yung mga university scholar flunkers pa. When I meet him 10 years ago, he is branch manager of RCBC. Ganda na ng buhay, life nga naman,, iba talaga ang laban sa labas ng university.

Bro, we have a running gag about underemployed CPAs accepting menial jobs just to make ends meet. It is no longer a glamorous profession since the advent of computerized accounting systems and IT experts. One needs to evolve and become tech-savvy to climb up the career ladder.

oh, you mean... "news clippings".

kasi, yung mga duktor, "we just keep quiet about it".
they don't blame anyone but themselves.
heh heh.

there are two reasons why the examinee failed.
the most common is, "he wasn't prepared".
the corollary question is, "why wasn't he prepared? after all, he had four years to prepare".

there is a difference between "the difficult exam" and "the substandard examinee".

i have been an examiner, of sorts, once.
and as i perused the examinees' answers, a question kept cropping up, "where did these examinees come from! were they absent when the topic was lectured?"

Well it is not just news clippings na parang tabloid. I only read top newspapers, magazines and occasionally FHM.

Although I agree it is difficult to gauge exactly how tough is tough. I don't want to argue about it since I have not taken any board exam just CSC prof and IELTS.

i think CPAs are having a resurgence.
BIR kasi is requiring documentation now, if one's professional income is above xxx million.

[badkuk]

^ not to mention KPOs...that is, if the present admin doesn't scare them off. Pati ata taxes ng private US citizens sa KPOs na pinapagawa

Tapos best advisor sila if you need lower or higher income books.

For me mas mahirap ngayon, you can't place your correct/wrong answer without solving it. Beside probablity of taking correct answer is very low, 1/4 di ba? Tapos pag solving problem tapos maganda hand writing mo may points sa examiner yun. Sa multiple choice, kung mali, mali talaga.

Tingin ko mas madali ngayon kasi kahit walang alam makakasagot talaga. Tapos yung mga tanong ngayon very basic na daw dahil sa naging advancement sa mga field ang dami biglang topic kaya to compensate for intensive coverage eh dinalian naman difficulty.

Take for example sa civil engg grabe bumabaha ngayon nag all time record kamakailan lang na sobrang daming pasado sa ce board kaya ang baba ng entry level ngayon sa construction dahil over supply na. kakilala ko nga asar na asar kasi ang hirap makagraduate dun tapos dose mil entry level na sweldo hahaha tinalo pa ng BPO. tapos kung icompare mo mga score ngayon grabe halos makaperfect na sila like yung nag top 1 parang 98% na ata score nun compared dati na wala nakakascore ng ganyan, yung chemical engg nga dati wala top 10 sa board dahil lahat below 80%.

Tapos may nakita din ako old picture ng medtech board exams ang bababa din ng score compara sa mga score ngayon na nagliliparan at halos maka perfect..Multiple choice is really easier compared sa no choices, kaya ako pag may exam noon lagi ko talaga pinagdarasal na sana multiple choice kasi nandyan na ang sagot hahanapin na lang unlike sa walang choice eh dapat isuka mo talaga sagot hahaha.
