Real Excellence Online for CPA (REO CPA) - Best Study Buddy Review Center

Real Excellence Online for CPA (REO CPA)

    When COVID-19 strikes the Philippines, most of the review centers suspended their face-to-face classes which lead to the postponement of examinations, especially CPALE. Review centers, reviewers, and aspiring CPA students are affected by the massive destruction of COVID-19.

    In the middle of the pandemic, a newly built review center founded by Sir Rex Banggawan give hope to CPA aspirants to reach their goals. A review center with a unique teaching style incorporated with new technology and updated software.

    Real Excellence Online for CPA (REO CPA) is an online review that is reasonably-priced, attainable to any device (Android, desktop, and etc), and very convenient.  It is a 9.5-month access application and website that you can watch anytime, anywhere.

    By enrolling in their affordable services, you can have access to all their services/features just in one app.

• Pre-Recorded Lecture- a very detailed lecture came from a high-caliber review instructor.
• Live Lecture- summary lecture of the lessons that include techniques, mnemonics, and diagrams to familiarize and enhance your concepts efficiently and effectively.
• Drills/Quizzers- every lesson in pre-recorded lecture has its own drills/quizzers that literally apply your concepts from simple to analytic type of questions.

After preboards and monthly assesments, each reviewers/instructors will explain the answers thoroughly and it will be recorded. The app also provide a printable handouts.

Evaluation per Subject

Management Advisory Services (MAS)

    In prerecorded, Prof. Rhad Vic Estoque's discussion is very enlightening because there are diagrams/flowchart that helps you understand clearly the lesson. He explains it very well by giving examples of a real-life problem of companies and discusses how it affects the organization, consumer, and economy as well.

    In a live lecture, Prof. Karim Arbitago's discussion summarized all the concepts and focus on a lesson that has a high probability to appear in CPALE.

Regulatory Framework and Business Transactions

    In prerecorded, Atty. Cesar Nikolai Soriano's handouts are very informative. The sequencing of each section is arranged conceptually with some diagrams and tables. There are illustrative problems but it has no answers. He explains very clearly with examples and points of emphasis. I encourage you to watch his videos for the illustrative answers as well.

    In a live lecture, Atty. Mae Diane Azores summarized all the topics and has some mnemonics so that reviewers can remember them easily since we all know that RFBT topics are purely theories.
