I wanted to write this post right after Day 3 but I did what was mandatory: celebrate! I only had two beers but being a lightweight, I already regretted my decision heavily the next morning when I went back to work. The bad sleep on top of my new Invisalign tray meant I had a…
If you saw my story today, you would already know what I thought about September 2021 CFE Day 2. It was the day I was dreading the most and my experience was like being on a roller coaster of emotions. It also went by seemingly as quickly as an actual roller coaster. FYI – my…
I just spent about an hour reviewing my own Day 2 notes. I did not learn anything new (too late for that) but I only did it to solidify what I already knew. I have always found it helpful to review notes the night before an exam as it would help me retrieve my knowledge…
Does it surprise you that I have another update? I am sure if you have been following my CPA journey for a while, it does not. My plan is always changing depending on how I feel and it has always been therapeutic to share it with you. If you are reading this before you write…
As tiring as CFE prep is, I think I will miss improving on a skill systematically (case-writing skill) when it is over. At the time of writing this post, I am one week + one day away from writing the Sept 2021 CFE. Those of you who have been on this journey with me for…

Two of my friends submitted their PERT reports and got them reviewed in about two weeks’ time (compared to the 9 weeks I waited last time) in June. Since I had been filling our my PERT report via EVR regularly for months now, I decided to submit what I have accumulated so far. It ended…
The first part of my CFE leave officially started yesterday. This means I am off from work until the last week of August. I will be helping out with month-end before the second and last part of my CFE leave starts. If you have been following me for a while, you probably know that I…
With 35 days left to the September 2021 CFE, I thought I would provide another update on my CFE prep plan. In addition, I am sharing my strengths and weaknesses I have identified in the past 3 weeks. CFE is fast approaching so I want to make sure I will spend my time and effort…
At the time of writing of this post, the September CFE I am writing is 41 days away. Unlike many candidates, I chose to start CFE prep a lot earlier than necessary. I have known very early on in my journey that this was what I was going to do. I know myself well enough…
