Twenty-eight aspiring public accountants from De La Salle Lipa (DLSL) successfully passed the recent Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountants (LECPA), garnering a 26.92% passing rate, May 31.
Out of 93 DLSL alumni who took the exam, only 22 first-time examinees made it to the list of board passers, recording a 23.66% passing rate. Meanwhile, a 54.55% passing rate was attained among repeaters, with six out of eleven earning the CPA title.
In an interview with Lavoxa Online, Derrick Jantzen Gonzales, a first-time CPALE taker, shared that his preparation for the exam involved enrolling in two review centers while developing himself intellectually, physically, and emotionally.
“For the whole review journey, as much as possible, I maintained 7–8 hours of sleep so I could be at my optimal state when studying. Furthermore, I also prepared my emotional and mental state, such as coping with stress and pressure,” said Gonzales.
Gonzales also offered advice for aspiring CPAs: to find the right strategies and techniques that work best for them.
None of the participating schools qualified for the top-performing list, after only 3,155 out of 10,421 examinees passed the nationwide board exam.
The Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountants was conducted from May 26 to 28 in various testing centers across the country.
