IMPORTANT NOTE: This document is not meant to replace adequate review time and reputable reference materials in preparation for the CPALE. This is merely a supplementary aid and should not be your primary review material.
Just a suggestion: Find another person who can read to you the tips. (Kung wala, you can read it aloud to yourself.) It would be better if his or her voice is easiest for you to recall. So when you encounter a question that is closely related to one of those tips, you can try to recall those which were read to you. The tips should not have anything that you haven't learned before and if it does have one, just disregard or ignore it (tell yourself, "Hindi lalabas yan"). Given the remaining time you have before exam day, spend your time wisely. Help yourself recall all that you have learned than waste time trying to understand the more complicated ones.
Feel free to share this to those who might need it. I wish to suggest that you ask the reviewee first if they would welcome an additional material. With so many materials shared already, some might find it overwhelming.
Even when we care, we still have to be careful.
Good luck, future CPAs!

What you should do now: Focus on answering questions everyday for active recall.
Issue: What if hindi ko pa naaral?
Answer: Okay lang. Kapag may hindi ka na masagutan or alam, dun mo tingnan yung notes/handouts mo to understand the concept.
