Methodology
Research design.
The
descriptive method of research
was used. Specifically, the type of
descriptive method used was
documentary analysis because the
study
involved
gathering
information by examining records
and documents (Sevilla, et.al.,
1992).
Subject of the study.
Two hundred two BS Accountancy
graduates of CABEIHM who took
the CPA exams from October 2003
to October 2008 were the subject
of the study.
There were
graduates who became subject
more than once because they took
the CPA Licensure Examination in
two or more different periods.

procedure. A letter of request to

as Indicated by the

The
high
mean
performance
in
Practical
Accounting Problems I in the past
years may be explained by the
following reasons: (1) The students
devoted more time in this subject
during college years because this
is a 15-unit subject in the BSA
curriculum; and (2) Students have
more focus in this subject because
this is taken up in the second year
in college wherein there is lighter
subject load.
Auditing Theory, on the
other hand, obtained low mean
performance. This could be due to
the insufficient academic time
alloted for instruction of this
subject since it was only a 3-unit
subject in the old BSA curriculum.
Also another factor was the
textbook used
which was too
concise to fully explain the topics.
This low performance could also
be
attributed
to
the
poor
comprehension skills of some
students.
Moreover,
students
tended to get bored in the subject
because of its abstract concepts.
