[Small Talk] Sequel: Tax Accountant Exam Results
Thank you for your continued support.
Is this good timing or bad timing?
After I voluntarily reported the results of my crushing defeatin the tax accountant exam yesterday, I discovered that ominous brown envelope from the National Tax Council in my mailbox today 😅. Adding insult to injury?
If I think, 'Well, I just got some material to write a note about,' then I suppose it's good timing.
Breaking news/summary from a site that looks like an industry journal (?).
So, I immediately searched for it for the sake of content. On this job change site, the story I put together yesterday by borrowing files from the National Tax Agency is neatly presented with colorful graphs👇. The summary also specifically notes that the pass rate for Financial Statement Theory is only 8%🥶.
As I had predicted in advance during the summer, the contents of the brown envelope were in line with my expectations.
The official passing score is 60 points, right? I figured getting about half of that was the best I could hope for. It was pretty much like that. The loneliness of self-study.
The Cursed Brown Envelope
It looks like this on the outside. I've folded the address inward😅
While Bookkeeping is 100% calculation, Financial Statement Theory is half essay-based, so I (initially) thought it would be easier for someone participating from other qualifications (that have essay exams)...
As a result, I've been struggling without much progress, though😅
Turning a misfortune into a blessing... is that the kind of ambition I have?
However, my sense of loneliness, at least this time, was shared by many other examinees😅.
Because, to put it specifically in reverse, about 92% of examinees scored under 60 points, right? And the ones who passed are no longer involved from next time onwards👍
Given that there are more young people, (it would be presumptuous for an old guy like me to be in the middle range🥶), well, I wonder if around 40 points is the most common score?
Considering that the previous pass rate was about 28%, reaching nearly 30%, the faint hope I had that 'maybe I can manage if I keep trying' just vanished, leaving me feeling drained😅. What is this roller coaster?
In the comments section of my previous post, I was encouraged, so I think I'll have my head cleared up again by the time I'm eating New Year's Eve noodles😅.
You might say, 'No, that's not the score range you should be aiming for, you need to try harder'... but I hope to prepare for a rematch little by little.
My main business mastery (a winning pattern for earning continuously, not just one-offs😅) is also going back and forth... I'll do my best...
