My Top Picks : CPAR Reviewers
Below are my preferred reviewers in CPAR, I just thought this might be of help to those of you guys who consider to review there. This is my personal pick, many may disagree but I guess this group of reviewers was a perfect blend that put me to where I am now. So here are my top picks.
* Management Advisory Services (MAS) – Mr. Rodelio Roque
* Auditing Theory (AT) & Auditing Problems (AP) – Mr. Gerardo Roque
* Business Law and Taxation (BLT) – Atty. Dela Cruz
* Practical Accounting 2 (Prac2)- Mr. Chris German
* Theory of Accounts & Practical Accounting 1 (TOA & Prac1) – Mr. Tom Siy III & Atty. Conrado Valix
Starting from Mr. Rodelio Roque. The conceptual style of Mr. Rodel has really made wonders for me during my review and in the actual board exam. Indeed knowing the “why” is better than just knowing the “how”. It applies to every subject and makes learning deeper and easier for me to retain and recall. The same with Mr. Chris German of Prac2. Yeah yeah, Prac2 is one of the most procedural subjects of the Board, but getting the logic of each procedures is better than memorizing the first, the second and up to the Nth step of the boring procedures. I hate memorizing, so I guess that explains why I exhaust my efforts squeezing out every logic I can get from various procedures, of which I’m really comfortable than the memorization process.
Down to Atty. dela Cruz of Business Law and Taxation. This is an assurance for Atty. D (as he wants him to be called), the review course will never end without you having a very good laugh, tickles to the bone. His lectures are fairly enough to study to understand almost everything about the subject. He has this diagram that extends from the east side to the west side, from the north pole to the south pole of the white board. His comic strip lecture, a term that I have heard from some of his students, is a very comprehensive one. Without exaggeration, the most comprehensive notes I’ve encountered in my whole academic life. Alright! Now you see who’s my favorite. ![]()
Mr. Gerardo Roque of Auditing Theory and Auditing Problems. I remember the first impression I had on him during the first week, not so good but not so bad. But as the review course continue, I started to like him as well. His approach to the discussion is very unique to me. Although I find Mr. Valdez of PRTC better, but I’ll the fun of discussion trophy to Mr. Roque. That hilarious character conceal in a serious face, a real kind of disguise. You’ll see what I meant when you encountered him. In regards to Auditing Problems, I honestly haven’t attended any of his discussion, but I have heard that he is better than his counterpart. (I honestly don’t attend the AP discussions because I find it too boring
)
You can never get lost in the Practical Accounting 1 discussions. Both Atty. Valix and Tom Siy are good in what they are doing. I have Tom Siy as my reviewer and the impression is “OK” and that goes the same with Atty. Valix, although these two get very funny most of the time.
Alright! This is my top pick of reviewer. Most of you guys may or may not agree, but this is how things worked out for me. But always remember, reviewers are only guides, in the end, it’s always the effort that we give that help us succeed. Another but, a perfect mixed up of guidance and effort can give a virtual probability of conquering the board exam. So, Goodluck with all of you Guys!!!


thanks,
God bless u and more power !
