GUIDELINES IN TAKING THE QUALIFYING EXAMINATION

1. The Qualifying examination is a diagnostic examination for you to proceed to the next
year level. It is also a simulation of the CPA Licensure Examination thus, the rules to be
applied will be the same except for one rule.
 2. In this examination, you can still use the SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR as opposed to
the current licensure examination wherein they use BASIC CALCULATOR.
3. Bring two (2) mongol no. 2 pencils. The extra pencil is just in case, the other pencil is
   broken. Much better if you can bring a sharpener.
4. Bring a black/blue ballpen. It will be used for shading your answers and filling-out your
   answer sheets.

   cellphones inside your pockets is CONSTRUED AS CHEATING.

   no extension of time if you arrive late.
