1. Anyone here who has taken this exam before who can share some tips and database of exam questionnaires if you can plse?
2. I heard from a friend that if you pass the Cpaa exam, you no longer need to take english test, anyone? If this is totally true?
3. When applying for eoi, what is the difference between Finance Manager, management accountant, general accountant. I know the difference per se but what i intend to ask is e.g if you selected the code for general accountant does it mean you are not allowed to becime FM? Sorry for my ignorance.
4. What is the highest points to be considered?
5. I read somewhere that they are removing these professions very soon, does it mean that we might be losing the opportunity to migrate specially for accountants who are still preparing the big move.
thank you and look forward for your reply.

Question po sa fees sa CPAA. Nagbayad ako ng assessement fee if qualified ako maging associate. Positive naman po result. Then need ko magbayad to activate membership, gusto ko sana half muna then enroll ako ng isa subject. Response ng CPAA hindi daw pwede split yun membership. Bakit ganun dun sa website nila pwede half year membership? May nakaexperience din ba dito napawaive nila yun application fee? Sa kabila forum may nabasa ko kaso hindi ko sure kung yun nawaive is application fee or yun general migration assessment fee kapag member ng CPAA. Pls help po. Thank you.
